Go to Ann Taylor Loft. I ordered a bunch of stuff in my correct size and there were swimming on me so I took it back to the store today and tried on a few other things. I ended up with a Small shirt (I am NOT a small) and a size 8 pair of pants (I am NOT a size 8).
And it is bloated time of the month. I'm not even sure if the stuff looks good on me. I don't care. They are a size SMALL and an 8!

Really? I haven't been for awhile but in the past I found the opposite to be true. Guess I'm going to have to go check it out.

Land's End vanity sizing has been crazy lately, to the point it made me mad. I wear an 8-10 in pants and tried on a dress in 6-8 and it was swimming on me. I, in no way shape or form, wear a 2-4 size...only at Land's End.

I've noticed this with Ann Taylor outlet stuff. I was at an outlet store last week, had to size down in just about everything.

Drives me crazy, because I have to bring in two sizes of just about everything since I just don't know how stuff is going to fit!

This is how I felt about jcrew the other day. I tried on and bought a pair of capris and jeans in size 2. I also tried on the infamous pencil skirt in wool in a 2 and it was so loose i never would have worn it. I didn't bother trying on the 0 because a. that's fucking ridiculous and b. I wasn't going to buy it anyway. I've lost some weight but at my height and weight I shouldn't really wear anything smaller than a 4 imo.

Loft was my new fav store when I lost a lot of weight & could wear an XML there lol boosted my confidence

Agreed with the Loft and Land's end sizing. The problem is that I never know what size to order when I shop online, it's frustrating. And when I'm in store, I end taking back 2 or 3 sizes of everything I want to try on (I'm also short, so that complicates things!)
