I agree. American sizing is unpredictable at best... sizes are never quite the same from brand to brand, so you pretty much always have to try on your clothes before you buy them.
Let's take two of my favorite stores, Old Navy and American Eagle. Old Navy's sizes run large compared to American Eagle. A small top at Old Navy is about the same size as a large at AE. A size 4 in slacks at Old Navy is roughly a size 8 at AE. Kinda dumb, I think. I'm just going to start a nudist colony to avoid this whole mess.
