Actually, clothes ARE getting bigger for the size .. at least for pants. The reason is that current fashion and style is for baggier pants and and what's called "fitting ease". Especially blue jeans ... which have run the gamut from looking like they're painted on to loose flare legs and pleated fronts to the current low-rise loose leg look.

Since my figure is bottom-heavy with thick legs, I'm definitely happier now than in previous seasons when tight, narrow leg pants were all the rage
