Yesterday I headed for the wonderful Primark in Elche.
Main aim was jeans - desparately needed them as all mine are too big!
So, choice was; Skinny, Super Skinny and Skinny with flare.
Started in changing room with a size 14 Skinny - legs fitted lovely, but could have put another person in the waist (well not quite - but too big) - so chuffed as you could imagine. Went into the shop again to get more pairs to try ...
I went to get a 12 - well, I was poured into the legs and the waist fitted perfect - far too tight to be comfortable and as I am not that far off of target weight - decided it was too much of a risk to buy those. Also took in another 2 styles (all 12's) only the skinny with flare fitted nicely - so I bought 3 pairs of them (11 Euro each).
Tops - lovely short length jumpers that I was after, looked at the 14's they didn't look big enough - so looked at the 16's they looked better - tried on - fitted lovely.
Now at 10st 8lb I was chuffed to be a 12 - but a 16 top - come on!!!
Have been buying size 14 tops since I was in the 13 stones - so how come I've got bigger on the top - but I now have to buy smaller cup bras (another reason for Primark yesterday)!!!
Anyone else find clothes sizing strange?
OK my rant over!!
