European Clothing sizes

Answers

Does anyone think we should adopt European standard clothing sizes worldwide?

Sizing among different brands is all over the map. I no longer buy any clothing made in China because I wear (at least what used to be) a woman's extra large, and all XL in Chinese women's clothing seems to really be large or medium.


No I don't like it at all. I have to buy what appears to be a bigger size. Like you, I also wear an extra large. But I now have to buy a 2X. It is still the same size, just marked differently. Still, I don't' like it. It makes me feel fatter than I already am!!!
