This is a question I ask myself every time i go shopping. I think that the clothes designers and manufacturers really need to sit down and study bodies (especially female) more carefully. Nobody is a perfect size 10 or 12 anymore. Women's bodies have changed dramatically over the last decade and women have actually got larger but the designers are insisting on making the clothes smaller.

America only accomodates to what they think is an average frame size...i.e...shaped like a butterknife.
I have trouble as well, so I make my own clothes most of the time, especially skirts and dresses. But even the patterns won't fit. It's all what the fashion industry in your country considers as the "norm", when it's really not. I live in the US but have the body of someone from the UK, it's so aggrevating!

I don't know its kinda weird though cause i can't really find a lot of clothes that fits either because I'm what they call thick small waist, big but, breats, and hips but I just have to shop at the right places and try on all my clothes before i buy them

It's true it's hard for some people to find clothes that fit them. I'm for ex., very skinny, I lately bought shirts, they were cute polo, I bought 10 shirts size XS. I was lucky, because they were tight and cheap and pretty and fit me, This time, the store had what fit me. I wish everything was always that way, but it's not. Lately, I got lucky and bought number of tops, that also were one size, and it was exactley my size.
I know for myself, that it is hard to find, thin pants, that would look pretty on me, and in the same time, they would fit hot weather. So that is a problem for me.

Maybe you need a tailor to make ones that fit. Or you can go to stores that have special sizes such as Ann Taylor Loft for petites, or Lane Bryant for plus size. Some department stores such as macy's has different clothes for women of different sizes.

Because everyone is different sizes and shops just pick averages and that is the size you have to be or you are to fat or to skinny which sucks. But I suppose there should be some limits.

Because clothes are made to a standard size and not everone is standard, for example petite ranges.

You just have to get the right size. Try before you buy.

Try it on first before you buy. Then you know if it fits.
