What I discovered years ago is that each clothing manufacture seems to make up their own mind as to what size is what. I'd go to a store knowing I was a 16, so I'd buy various things in 16 and find out that one fits perfect, another is WAY too big and another I can barely fit around one thigh!! As I've just gone for elastic waisted skirts ever since, I no longer have to worry about an actual size; large or extra large is all I have to worry about.
