Clothing is based on forms. These forms are based on an Average woman or Average man. These forms are now regularly updated, but up until 2000, most companies used forms based on the Average person from the early 1950's. Our body shapes have changed over the years, and this was only recently acknowledged. Some clothing companies continue to use their old forms, some use the new forms, some use intermediate forms, some use none and some even have different year forms in different factories. This is why a size 8's from the same manufacturer fit differently.

The same goes for bra sizes. I once had to install software at a factory that made bra's and saw some of the high tech software / video equipment that they used to ensure bra's fit correctly and comfortably. But when I went to their factory on a tour, I noticed they had different size and shaped forms being used to create the bras. I asked about it, and was told that they continued to use the old forms as some women seemed to still need the 'old' configurations to remain comfortable. If only they put that information on the packets the bra's come in, I'm sure many women would have fewer problems selecting the correct fitting undergarments.

Because women's clothing sizes are totally messed up and don't match between different products or even different makers stuff a couple of years ago and now.

It has to do with what it is made out of. If it is made out of cotton it is not really gonna stretch as far as something made out of spandex. you really have to look at what it is made out of because I'm a 44D and if I use one that has more spandex than any other material my girls will sag
