American sizes are way larger than Canadian sizes. You have to drop down a couple of sizes, so you being a 14/16 here would mean you would be closer to a 12 in US sizes.

calvin klein pants - 14, purchased at winners in canada
baby phat skirt - 16, purchased in lane bryant in arizona

i've got 14's that are too big and 14's that are too snug
i've got 16's that are too big and 16's that fit well
it doesn't seem to matter us/canada but more the label and cut.
but i never shop at the 12 rack in the states. rolleyes maybe someday lol

People do carry their weight differently. People who don't weigh the same can wear the same size.

Yeah! I think U're right! Different bone sizes, breast size etc!nod

I don't think so. I'm in between a 6 and 8 right now and to me, she looks bigger than an 8. Maybe a 10, but I'm thinking she's a 12 nod


If she was a tiny person in size she could easily be a size 8.

But I'm 5'0" and I wear an 8 and she looks bigger than me. hmmm

Exactly. I've had friends who weigh more than me wear a smaller size and vice versa. It has to do with height and carriage and hip, butt and breast size too.

Again, people carry their weight differently.

It totally depends on the brand and cut here. I even have 2 dresses that are basically the same shape and cut from the same designer that I had to get in two different sizes cause they didn't fit the same.
