I'm on a shopping ban still (I didn't purchase anything), but dh and I had half an hour to kill before a movie so we took a stroll through Gottschalks since they have everything at least half off now. I tok some things into the dressing room to try on. A pair of jeans in size 16 fit pretty well. A pair of jeans in size 12 fit pretty well. A pair of stretch clams in size 14 was so small that I couldn't get it up over my thighs. A knit top in a large fit well. A tailored denim jacket in large was too big, and a hoodie in medium fit well. I'm glad that differnt manufactureres cut their clothes to different body shapes, but the randomness of sizing is sometimes absurd.
