I don't get the sizes problem so much here in Portugal, usually the same size I usually wear fits me in different brands. The sizes here are a lot friendlier, just to give you an idea, I wear a size 36, and I'm small. 34 is considered very small. Below that and you're probably a teen. So they do go down...I've never heard of a size 0 here. In the UK I'm a size 8 or 10. Thank god I don't have to deal with the trauma of a size o!
I am only 5'4" and most times when I buy trousers I always have to have the hems done, they are always way too long...they don't do different lengths here. Sucks.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
