I wear clothes than fit. The number is not important. Fit is even more important to me after losing weight; all of my old pants were 12-14 and are too baggy/big to fit me any more. It's kind of sad; I had a pair of dark gray velvet pants that I loved and didn't get to wear much before they became too big.

I buy a lot of clothes at Costco, which can be a crap shoot size-wise. The best indicator of true pants size I've found has been Levis Jeans. Trying on pairs of Levis at my local store gave me a number to take to Costco, which I usually stick to. It's rare that the Levis size trick does not work on jeans at Costco.

And abaya, I have the boob problem too. I'm running into it more and more since I lost weight. This is why I usually wear knits with stretch in them.
