the web).
www.sizebase.com

I signed on and really liked what I saw

Wanted to share it with the group

I was all excited about this site... took the full 10 pages of silly
measurements... it told me that in the US I wear a size 20W or a 2XL! It
is SO WRONG! I'm fitting regular size 14's now, or a regular women's size
Large.
Grrrrrrrrrr.

I did it too, but it won't tell me what size I am. Do you have to pay for
that part?

I have only 3 flaws. My first flaw is thinking that I only have 3 flaws.

Oh wait, now it's working. Cool. It says I'm a size 8 on bottom and a size
10 on top. Pretty close, actually. I think I'm really a size 10 on
bottom. At least my favorite jeans are a size 10, never even tried on a
size 8.

Are you tall? I'm 5'5" and weigh just under 209 and those
are my sizes exactly.

Yes, I'm tall - 5'11" (plus I'll blame 10lbs alone on my bust). It should
know that, though, from all the questions. Maybe I should have lied about
the weight when it asked instead of putting in 209? 🙂
Maybe my measurements weren't exact enough, who knows. Plus, I was
disappointed with the questions that said... get a shirt/pants/etc. that
fits you well, and measure it. There are very few clothes in my possession
that fit, let alone fit well! So maybe those measurements through it off a
bit as well.

I wear anything from a size 10 to size 16 in pants and jeans, I can get in
a size 8 in some dresses and skirts, my "medium" t-shirts from Old Navy are
a bit baggier than I'd like but I feel like people would laugh at me if I
picked up a size "small." Yet in the junior's sizes in some brands, an
extra-large is too small. The size on the label means NOTHING. In jeans
of the same brand, same cut, but just a different freakin' COLOR I need a
different size. So you can definitely simultaneously be a size 20 and a
size 14. Don't sweat it, it means nothing.

Ladies:

The International Size chart does not give you the sizes by Brand. For
this, I had to log-in as a full member (less than 10 bucks for one
year). From there I realized that my size changes from vendor to the
other...which is correct.
I sent them an email to congratulate them

Hi

Amazing to see the differences. I knew it was a pain to shop online or
for friends, but I did not realize how messy it was out there.
I found my sizes at Old Navy and GAP to be exact.

Love it
