size ?

[Brandi]

I was on ebay and noticed this lady had posted sizes I was not familiar with. What is a ladies size 20 or 16?

Here's a link to a sizing chart that might be helpful in answering your question - it does conversions between sizes used in different countries. Of course these sizes may have nothing at all to do with reality since the actual size seems to be manufacturer-specific (at least in women's clothing). I'd love to see some consistency.

Very Large.

Womens' sizes don't stop at 8 or 10. They continue upward in even numbers. It's not rocket science.

it is just in shirts I don't normally see 10,14 etc.. that is why I asked. Sorry to bug you.

They are sizes for larger women, sometimes called "Plus" sizes.
