Don't know why it's so hard for some foreigners to get their head around the sizing here especially take an honestlook around you in Japan look at the size of the typical women's frame, take a look at yourself on a non emotionally fueled real size basis. Whether you like it or not western girls on average typically have more around that belly and other areas it's just reality! This goes for the guys just as much if not more, but luckily oversized clothes are pretty popular fashion here!
