That is another thing- why don't all bras have a universal size? I can try on four different brands of bras, all the same size, and maybe fit into one of them. It is the same with jeans- in one brand, I can fit a size 12, in another, a size 14, and in some, only a size 18. It really gets depressing sometimes.

Exactly!!!
To continue my "European differentiation story": if you want to buy a simple pair of pants, I wouldn't recommend buying it in Italy! I (from Belgium) have a 38 à 40 normally, but that would correspond with a 46 in Italy, which can be very upsetting, I tell you. They might have great fashion-designers and beatiful shops, they make you feel like an elephant in it!
While, if you would be shopping in Germany, for whatever strange reason, you'd manage to fit nicely into a lovely 36!
Makes me glad that I'm not an Italian 'donna' after all!
You'd figure, if we manage to pay with a single currency here, we would at least be able to fit in each others pants.
