Oh goodness me, it's such a huge issue, isn't it? I find it especially annoying as I'm tal, but all my recent stuff is size 8-10. My older stuff is 12-14. Not much in terms of numbers but it's a huge difference. Also fuck clothing shopping when you're tall because the hams get it all, thinking the longer trousers will cover their fupas :( I sometimes buy a size or two above what I need for the extra length and then take it in myself - that especially upsets eatbeasts and makes me laugh
