Tip #101: Why you can wear different sizes...

Why are you a Size 6 in some brands and a 10 in others?

Most companies who mass-market start with a Size 8 production pattern, which gets shifted larger or smaller depending on their clientele.  So, a high-fashion 8 isn't typically as big as a mass-market brand's 8."

Even in Europe, where measurements are standardized by law, there can be some variation because a designer may decide to fix a garment's waistline above (or below) a woman's natural waist.  The best way to ensure a good fit is to try everything on - and trust the mirror instead of the digit on the label.
