Jollygoodfellow Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 Because the sizing system is Asian. Bit like US shoes and UK or even Australia sizes are different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know your post was in jest (mostly) but it's not so far from the truth - UK fashion stores have been called out many times on this point by dropping clothing a size to (presumeably) make customers feel slimmer and thus more fashionable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to do my head in shopping with the enemy. Every shop we went in the sizes equated to different measurements. A 6 in one shop was the same as an 8 in another. As you said, all to make them feel slimmer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevewool Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 Even here in England the sizes can change, I buy XL and the other day I brought this top knowing it would fit me and did not try it on, got home and yes it was to tight so I took it back and even the sales assistant said it’s a small XL what’s that about.
