Just a note to help eveyone out:

I have been in the clothing/retail bussiness for a few years, and I have to be honest, there really is no standard in sizing. It depends largely on where you shop and where the items were made.
Here is my sad but true story. Back in the day ( High School) I had a pair of jeans from the Gap. I didn't fit in to them for years Then a few ( ok, alot) of years later I tried them on again. They fit!! I ran out to the Gap to buy new ones, I was so excited!!! I grabed a few pairs to try on, none of them fit, they were all to big. I now whore TWO whole sizes smaller in the same pant.
