And I totally agree- this is basically why I've completely avoided shopping whatsoever except in Hong Kong. I did buy one sweatshirt but it's a men's large- fits perfect!

I could hardly ever buy any clothes in Japan, and if I did they always ended up being size "double large" (and I'm a respectable size medium in the States! Arrgh!). What I could never figure out was where the Japanese women who were my size bigger (and there were plenty!) went shopping. I was often tempted to go up to them and ask them where they got their pants. Ha! Good luck! Oh man, I feel your pain!
