Why do women’s clothing sizes seem to vary between different shops way more than men’s clothing?

Question

I am tall and plus sized and it is a nightmare to know what size I am supposed to be of anything. I am anywhere from a size UK 12 to UK 18 depending on the brand / item etc.

Answer 1

Between *shops*?

My wife has bought the same *brand* of clothes – the same *item*, even – and they’re different sizes because one was made in Egypt and the other in Malaysia.
