 Ooo wait what’s that? Your clothes sizes are wild 🤯 I’m an 8 in the US and a 12 here. When I was a UK 8 I would have been a US 4 🤯🤯🤯🤯

 Women’s clothes sizes are basically meaningless in the states. I’ve heard the UK has better standardization of sizes. Here a size 12 in one store can be really really big and a size 12 in another can barely fit over my thigh.
