Speaking of size 12, what is WITH these idiot fashion designers and the stores that buy from their lines???
I lost 150 pounds and went from a size 24 down to a 12-14. I thought all my clothing aggravations would be solved. WRONG! I can't count how many times I've tried to find a plain pair of jeans -- size 12, straight leg (boot cut blows, sorry), normal fit -- and what do I find? A gross of size 6. 8's aren't far behind. I can even find more 16 and 18 sizes than 12's and 14's!!!
For being the average size, it's sure darned hard to find average clothes.
They've changed the sizes. Really. Recently, I saw a friend of mine who has been in the clothing manufacturing biz for over 20 years and she confirmed it.
But congrats on your weight loss....it's a nice problem to have!
