Also, sizes have really gotten wonky these days. I mean, I picked up a poofy sleeved blazer (I need an exceedingly frilly shirt to go under it, tight pants, and a rapier, then I can be dashing) that was a size 10. Normally I'm a pretty solid 3/4. And the thing fits. They so crazy, these garment makers.
Yeah. Which is why I don't like to shop at Petite Sophisticate. I am NOT a _14_ thank, you. There is ZERO consistency in women's sizes. And Special Occasion stuff always runs 3 to 4 sizes smaller than whatever the tag says. I needed a 14 for a bridesmaid's dress. I am normally a 6/8. Depending on where I'm shopping, I can wear anything from a 2 to a 16. :P
Yet another reason why I hate clothes shopping with the passion of a thousand burning suns. ><
Tho I did find two pairs of jeans today. YAY! I just need to hem them. Gah. 9_9
