Guest guest Posted June 28, 2003 Report Share Posted June 28, 2003 I have everything from a 2 to a 14 in my closet & they all fit. People ask me what size I wear & I have to ask--THESE pants or the ones I had yesterday or this top or most tops? Sizes are sort of randomly assigned, I think. I have 3's that are very comfy, 9's that make my eyes bug out. Go figure. Don't hang your star on a size label. OR A SCALE Thanks, Vitalady, Inc.
