Are all your clothing sizes this varied?

Question

These 3 pairs of bottoms are the same size. 2 are too small for me and one is 2 sizes too big.

welcome to the hidden truth about sizes and different brands. as far as i have seen in my lifetime, every manufacturer uses a slightly different measuring for each size in every form of clothing/shoes. while most brands will be very close to the same others are way off from each other. for example, most brands of shoes i wear men's 9 1/2 but there are brands where i have to go down as far as an 8 or up to 10 1/2. another example being t-shirts, where one brand i wear XL another that mite be a M and a 3rd brand that mite be as big as their XXXL. thats why you need to actually try stuff on before buying. then there is the pants leg length issue where to get the waist size that fits you, its often with leg length way too long (ocassionally too short) for you. and keep in mind this comes from the son of a seamstress who spent many years sewing clothes mostly to correct these issues.

Yes. My experience, I noticed that the designer labels will label a size 8 pant (the actual size) as a size 3 or 4 or similar. I think it’s a marketing thing to make women feel small.
But I am a little short ninja type and I have a hella time with pant length.

Yes absolutely. Same goes with footwear too. It's just that the sizes vary a great deal with the brands.  It is frustrating yes. But I've learnt to live with it lol.

Different brands? Or different eras of different brands? That really shouldn't change the meaning of sizes, but it does. This is why, when I rule the world, the highest level of formal clothing will be towels.

Yeah I think it's probably the brand name that you're buying in most cases this happened to me before but it's more in my boots like I can buy a pair of boots that are size 11 and I can go someplace else and buy another pair of boots and they're size 10 and then I've even bought a pair of boots that were nine and a half which I did not understand no matter what kind of clothes you wear your going to look good

Different brands with different measurements despite supposedly being the same size, especially if they're made in different countries. For example, an American 36C bra for me oftentimes turns out as 36D in some parts of Asia.

Misses, juniors and women. The three categories of female clothing. Each with similar sizes. It looks like that's what is shown. I'm only guessing here though.
