this is so true, even though clothing makers make clothes with smaller sizes to make egos feel better, the pattern makers did not follow along with them. You really have to take your measurements these days, I use a product call do sew, its like a light weight interfacing but really cheap and make a test pattern so that I can change any thing that doesn't fit right before I use my main fabric.
