What size am I?

[Champagne]

I'm a size 10 in skirts but a 12 in trousers, 10 in tops but a 12 in blouses. So what size am I??

When I was a size 10 I never had problems with clothes, but now I have my womanly curves, which I prefer, I can't seem to find a standard size for my body shape!! Is it just me or do you have the same problem? It's actually becoming a chore to go shopping.

Try shopping at next and you may find youre an 8 all over. Thats what i found when it happened to me.

yer all shops are different but hey as long as you get the right size and you dont end up with a muffin top because you're trying to squeeze into size 8 trousers whats on a label.

I have the same problem, I find that cheaper shops make me a bigger size. It makes it difficult to order clothes from the net or catalogues!

I think that's what the problem is, chazza, I love a good bargain so the quality in cut is completely different. I've been raiding Primark, Tesco and New Look for ages now. Even Top Shop is upmarket for me!!

And thanks for your suggestion, redcrx but I can't shop at Next 'cos their clothes never seem to fit in the right places! I like to accentuate my better bits. ;o)

I have clothes in my wardrobe (which fit me and which I wear) that are in sizes from 10 to 16. It's impossible to judge and I always end up taking two or three sizes into the changing room with me. Even when it's the right size, a garment often doesn't fit in some way - waist too big, thighs too tight etc. I don't know who they make clothes for, but it's not me!
