Wow, that's... just weird. Really weird. And demonstrates just how illogical 'sizes' are for clothes.
I always encounter the opposite problem. I'm fairly slender (for an American woman) and really flat-chested, but I haven't gotten smaller over the years... and there are several stores that don't carry shirts that fit me anymore, including JC Penney's and Kohls. At least not in the misses section, and I refuse to shop in the juniors department. THAT'S WHERE MY STUDENTS SHOP. Ugh.
And my jeans size in most brands has gone down two sizes since college, even though my waist is two inches larger than it was at the time.
The lack of consistency in clothing sizes is laughable, except for how it makes me want to cry sometimes.
