I bought a bunch of skorts and shorts at Eddie Bauer the other day. (Expensive, yes, but my parents have the discount thing, and it seems to be the only place I could get shorts that were more than 2cm long and didn't look ridiculous.) I came out with sizes 4 (the skorts) and 6 (shorts). I wear a 6 in some jeans, so that wasn't surprising. I could sit down in a size 2, and I could not find a pair of capris that I wasn't swimming in. I'm not exactly small.

I'm aware that the size inflation is crazy--I have a pair of size 10 jeans that I bought in high school (so...probably six or seven years ago) that fit perfectly. The same numerical size jeans (same company), bought a few years later, fall off. And DBF wonders why I hate shopping for clothes.
