There is no consistency in sizes anymore. No wonder I never noticed how big I was getting. My clothes size hadn't changed because they kept making the clothes bigger. I've lost 28 lbs in the last year and have had to buy all new clothes. Most of the clothes I am buying are size 2 or 4. Here's the kicker. I also dug out a pair of Patagonia shorts from 15 years ago that are a size 10 and fit me like the size 4. Some other old clothes that are a size 8 fit like the new size 2 or 4. I ordered a pair from Dawn because I actually can send her the measurements instead of trying to guess what size I wear. I was even able to choose the rise. I like pants to fit just below my belly button. My other riding pants go up too high. Looking forward to getting them. Anna
