...Are you serious? I'm usually a Small, and the shirts I tried on at Old Navy were ridiculous. I picked up an Extra Small and I was swimming in it.

You should also take into account where the clothes were made. Because if you think about it, (I'm not saying its certain) but a majority of clothing is produced in developing countries where labour is cheap. It may be possible that the clothes, ALTHOUGH the company gives measurements, were made by what the worker thought would fit his or her children....I'm not too sure about that but its entirely possible...Snugglebunny said:
I wear XL shirts, the waist-line on my pants is about 36. I want to lose weight and have lost some weight, but due to medication I have to take daily, weight doesn't come off of me easily.
I do, however, eat mostly healthy meals. Before I started taking medication I weighed around 155 lbs at 5'11", and could wear medium sized shirts. My goal is to get back down to around 165 ish or a bit lower, but I drink a lot of diet soda and am told that keeps weight on you, too.

But that majority of company headquarters where the clothing and their sizes are design are corporations with American roots. Although even then, it doesn't seem like their making their clothes to fit real people, instead mannequins and models, because let's face it, those troublesome things like body weight and actually having a figure could deter from the clothes their (not) wearing.Mayotard94 said:
Interesting idea though.
The sizings in Australia are absolutely retarded. In one store, I'm a size 8 in jeans, in another, I'm a bloody 14. Same goes for shirts. So many places don't seem to make shirts for busty girls. >.<
Anyway. A lot of sizes seem to be a bit silly. This seems to sum it up well:

And here I was expecting an in-depth discussion of boobage. Damn.
I'm a 'small,' but not by North American standards, apparently. I'm what I call a European small. Almost every 'small' here, in my own damn country, would comfortable seat a family of five (from my perspective), but the second I go to central Europe for a week, all of a sudden a 'small' is actually a 'small'! Imagine that!
Keep in mind, I'm 5'10, 135lbs, and have a total fat percentage of 9. It's not that I don't eat, it's just that the enormous amounts of food I do eat seem to evaporate in my metabolism before they can stick anywhere.
It's a hard-knock life, for me.

XXL, mostly for length.
My family is known for our lengthy midsection, give it a few more inches and it would be as long as my leg.

I'm usually in a large, and I've actually lost about 20-30 pounds over the last year (on purpose) but why do you care?
I'm fat really fat and proud to be I would hate to be skinny.I wouldn't get any play time on my team I'm not fast or quick so size is all i can do, if I wasn't D-Line I'd be sad.I wear XL's and I'm not ashamed to admit it, I'm not all ripped but I'm not super flabby.Even if I were I'd be proud of the fact.
I'm maybe 6'3" and weigh ~100kgs, probably a little heavier than average but I'm one of those people who actually have big bones (don't say it as an "I'm not fat, I'm big boned" thing, more of an explanation "that's why I weigh 20kgs more than the guy next to me of the same height and build"). I usually fit into shirts from large to extra large.
