Maybe it's because women's bodies are more difficult to size. There are many more measurements needed to tailor a woman's dress than a man's suit. Woman expect their clothes to fit the female figure better than men's.
I was just out shopping with DW for some new femme clothes. I was trying on these clothes in front of a full length mirror. First, I saw myself in my men's clothes. I was sort of taken aback by how loose and drab they looked compared to the women's clothes I was trying on. I preferred the way I looked in well fitting women's clothes over my normal male garb. Generally, a 14 or 16 fits me pretty well, but not always.
I've learned to try on women's clothes before purchasing because they are cut to conform to the female figure which can vary widely (no pun intended
). Men's clothes, which are limited in style to begin with, can accommodate a broad range of male body shapes, and thus are easier to standardize on sizes.
