I've notice this, too about the sizes. Also, it looks like if you go into a really expensive store, which I very seldom do, the clothes may be two sizes smaller. Guess they think we won't mind spending $300 for a dress if we can tell someone we wear 2 sizes smaller than we really do.

BTW, I buy most of my dresses at a really fancy store, JC Penney's.
