Is it the pizza, pasta, and vino that causes all of this distress? No.
It's this thing.
| MISSES'/WOMEN'S SIZE CHART | ||||||||
| United States | 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 |
| Italy | 36 | 38 | 40 | 42 | 44 | 46 | 48 | 50 |
This thing hurts my feelings. A lot.
A lot. A lot. {sigh}
This site has good information about shopping in Italy. It includes sizing tables for Women, Men, and Children, as well as for hats and shoes. Though really, since Italian clothing sizes are not standardized, the conversion tables are mere guidelines. If you can't try it on, you are taking a chance.
For a more humorous look at this terrible, soul-scarring phenomenon, check out fellow Aviano blogger, Tessa at Ciao, Blogga, on a recent shopping trip.
