Re: Feeling fat !!!
This is still a common grumble I'm afraid .. you just have to learn to take at least two sizes to try on in the dressing room, to see which fits best and then forget about the label.
I know for instance that if I am buying a suit... Next Jacket ... size 8, but the pants will be a 10; Jane Norman .. 10 or 12, New Look .. always a 10 top, Marks .. size 8 top, pants 10, and so on. It can depend on the material too .. even though I am narrow shouldered, a bit busty (34d) so sometimes a size 8 will fit on shoulders but not around the chest if tailored, then the 10 will be too big on the shoulders, but if stretchy is fine.
Last time was out with Grandaughter, she tried on a straight skirted dress in a 12 ... was far too tight.... would not try on a 14 because she insisted she was not that big !! Pleaded with her to ignore the size label. Thank goodness she bought another dress .. would have split the original choice on first wear.
Just buy what fits yer.
