my mom went shopping at a expensive place and found that the sizes for her at that shop were like 2 sizes smaller.. she thinks its a way for richer people to claim they are skinnier than they are and i think so too in a way since celebs claim to be in really small sizes and im like twice the size of that

Hahahahaha! I bet you're right! I have a friend who always shops at exclusive shops and her pants would be like a size 3 and sh!t, and she wasn't all that much smaller than me! It always made me feel so huge wearing even a size 8, let alone a size 10! I prefer S, M, or L, because the large is always too big, the medium fits perfectly and sometimes I can even get my butt in a small. Hehehe.

sometimes the s/m/l doesnt help me since i have broad shoulders and the small is too tight which of course is why i try on things lol

Yeah, in tops I have to go for the large size because I also have very broad shoulders.

In my area, the more expensive shops carry a wider range of sizes so it doesn't really matter if it's different from the regular clothes I buy as long as I am able to find my right size. But I disagree with those who claim that richer people are skinnier. That's just a stupid assumption. A lot of rich people also love to eat because they can afford to eat out all the time so they also gain weight like normal people do. It's true though that celebs nowadays are all joining the bandwagon and becoming super skinny like models.

each designer measures their own sizes. no two brands are identical.
