I have always been rather frustrated by the disparity between sizes depending what shop you go into... And never more so than at the moment...
ive only been doing S&S for 5 weeks, and wouldn't really have expected to see too much of a difference in dress size yet... However my jeans, which are Evans size 20 that were really tight at Christmas are now literally falling down as I walk. I'm having to constantly hitch them up. The other night (whilst at home, I hasten to add!) I tried an experiment. Walking up the stairs from the car (one flight) and into my living room my jeans were so low on my hips that I stood still, did a little wiggle and they actually dropped to the floor!
so, I went through that drawer that we all seem to have, and found two pair of jeans that were size 18. One I think from simply be, and the other from M&S and I thought taking into account the potential disaster of my size 20s that I would try them on... Neither of them would fit... Both were several inches from even being able to do them up... So exasperating....
oh well... *wanders off to find the string*
