Oh Sue, I absolutely agree about not buying anything new if the number is disagreeable! I get very disgruntled when what I have taken into the dressing room thinking it is my size turns out to be too small/tight, or makes me look lumpy, oddly shaped..... That scenario leaves me with 2 choices, get a bigger size or get nothing. I generally will go home empty handed rather than get a bigger size. I may have to go to Chicos. I get their catalog but have never been in the store, A size "1", really?!
