I'm trying to figure out my enfemme sizes. I've looked at different sites with conversion charts. Does anyone have a good one? Thanks for any help for any help.

Unfortunately, there is no "perfect" size conversion chart. One store's size 12 might be a size 16 somewhere else. I'm a size 11/12 most places, but I've found stuff in an 8 I can fit into and size 14 stuff that I'd have to drop 20 pounds to make work.

Its really best to find what size you are closest to and go from there, but at the end of the day, its still mostly trial and error. That's why its for the best if you can overcome your fear of shopping in drab (not saying that's what the problem is here) or you'll be making a lot of trips to the returns desk.

I buy a lot of my femme clothing on ebay, and I always buy from the sellers that list the measurements of the garment. I have yet to find a dress that would actually fit, but there are a lot of tops and skirts, pants, etc. out there, so if you know your own measurements, you've got it made.

This is from a mail order catalog of a now defunct company. While it's the most complete I've ever seen, it should be used as a general guide only, since sizes do vary quite a bit.
