> To this day I can never make sense out of the "sizes" that appear on women's clothes. Part of it is the stupid clinging to traditional "dress sizes", the other part is that each clothing maker has their own sizing, and they can be radically different. For an extreme example, go check out a Lane Bryant store at your local mall. A "6" there is definitely not like a "6" at someplace like Express. Of course, LB does this for a reason: they cater exclusively to fat women so they have their own sizing standards. But still, given how much curvier women's bodies tend to be, it would make sense for the sizing to be more complex, just as men's pants are. >but my jeans say "30/30", meaning 30" waste Your jeans have 30" of trash?
