European sizing

[Spidergirl~RiCkChiCk]

This is a weird question yes (we prob need a fashion board )
but does anyone know how to work out European sizing as equivalent to Australian sizes?

Last year I bought G-Star and Guess jeans overseas and they're all size 28.

I was trying jeans on in Scanlon and Theodore a few months ago and the chick said sizes are 28=8, 29=9....etc. I'm definitely not a size 8. 10 mostly, but never 8 so there goes that theory.

I was desperate to find a pair of G-Star jeans the same as I bought O/S and found a similar cut in Dakota 501. I tried on 28 and they were too big! (and too expensive - 80 euro in Germany and here they want $270!)

I guess I'm not much help Spidey, but all I can say is there is no real answer. You just gotta try them all on to find what fits.

That's what i thought. Asked for a 10 and the bimbo in the Calvin Klein shop said no way you're a 10 sweety you're an eight then kept saying "you look so skinny in them". Was pretty ****ed off with this sales tactic. Even worse was the fact that i told her my last 3 jeans got rips in the crotch would they be guaranteed? She told me not to buy Gripp anymore and "there's no way these will rip" found this quite amusing as i turned side on in the mirror and saw the leg was split so walked out and bought em at David Jones instead

A young woman in this day & age must ensure her jeans are tight enough to get the full cameltoe effect. Otherwise there'd be no reason for me to do laps of shopping centres wearing my sunglasses.

It's reassuring to know that my assertion above put paid to any further discussion on this topic.

As they say in TV court dramas...
