    Women have been dealing with this problem for years. A size 10 now is much larger than a size 10 was years ago, and the differences between brands and stores is outrageous. It especially makes it difficult to purchase anything on-line. When you sew your own clothes, you have a better sense of what your real measurements are. Which is why custom-made kilts are never made to your "pants-size".

    Would a universal standard be helpful? Definitely.

    Not that I am for regulations requiring true sizes in clothing labels, but could you imagine the outrage that would ensue when men realize they are larger than they were led to believe. Though it might start the biggest weight loss campaign in US history.

    I never really understood womens sizing methods. Is it a ratio or some sort of calculus equation?
