I sure have seen a lot of vanity sizing lately. I love to shop in second-hand stores but the range of "sizes" I find now for the same sized pair of jeans can be bewildering. I learned a great trick from a fellow shopper: use your tape measure to measure something at home that fits and take it with you to check the used stuff. Sure cuts down on wasted time in the dressing room with clothing that turns out to be too large!
