Ridiculous Sizing...

In the last 2 days I have tried to order some white Jeans. I always like High Rise ones from Next.
I ordered, a 14 Long, a 16 Long... when they came, both short and both very tight which I could not understand.
So I ordered a 16 xl...… I picked it up today and they were huge and terribly long.

I took them all back today and then went into Peacocks and bought a dress in a size 10...…. makes no sense at all.

I ordered 2 dresses from Cath Kidston and both were 12 and fitted like a dream.

Anyone else have this problem ? x

Agree Next size is way off. I always order a size down and sometimes things can still be too big (normally tops)

H&M have updated their sizes as they had feedback and bad press that their clothes were coming up very small. I noticed there was an alert about it when I looked at something online the other day.
