Guest guest Posted September 20, 2001 Report Share Posted September 20, 2001 Yes that is correct. In a TRENDY shop large is a 12/14. The clothes in those stores tend to run smaller. Sizes are different depending who they were made for. For example a junior 13/14, petite 14, regular 14 an 14W, are all different sizes. There are differences in each peice, when they are sewn togeather, some garment workers sew close to the edge and some don't. Size 16 is xl. I am solidly into 12/14/LG. but for confort I do wear some XL tees. Size 16 pants fall off of me and I look like hell in them - very sloppy. Buy what fits and looks good on you and don't worry about the size. I have the cutest little plaid skirt that I wore yesterday because it makes me look very thin, it is a size 26/28, go figure.
