Sizing - aaaaaargh!

Ok, so you ask someone what size they are and they tell you they are either a 10, 12 or 14 depending where they shop. Isn't it about time all clothing was made to the same sizing structure so we didn't have to take 3 different sizes into the changing rooms?

Thank God then for the European Directive which is trying to get all designers singing from the same song sheet. My Mosquito Head brand is now working to their sizing EN13402-3. You can see the EN size chart on this link... http://media.wiley.com/product_data/excerpt/72/14051756/1405175672.pdf

At the moment this is a voluntary scheme but surely it's in everyone's interest that we all stick to the same structure - whether you are a designer or a buyer?
