Alfredo Cabrera, author of 101 Things I Learned in Fashion School, explains "Most companies start with a size 8 production pattern, which gets shifted larger or smaller. But a high fashion 8 isn't typically as big as a mass-market brand's 8." Even in Europe, where measurements are standardized by law, there can be some variation because a designer may decide to fix a garment's waistline above (or below) a woman's natural waist. The best way to ensure a good fit is to try everything on- and trust the mirror instead of the digit on the label.
Now, don't you feel better? I sure do.
