Burtons Clothes Getting Smaller??

Are the clothes in Burtons getting smaller?
In May I bought some shirts in there for my holiday and got XL which were still a little big but I felt more comfortable than the Large.
These shirts still fit me and I have lost a little weight since May (only 8lbs but it all counts).
I have been to get a shirt for a wedding i'm going to on Wednesday and none of the Large stuff I tried on went anywhere near me so I tried XL and they were very tight so I tried XXL and they only just fit me.
I ended up leaving it and getting a shirt from Next which is only a Large and fits perfectly.
Has anyone else found this problem with Burtons? It seems their clothes are getting smaller and I know i'm not getting bigger

Different suppliers probably have different sizing standards......0

Probably depends on the fit and style of the clothes as well?Always get a Qualified opinion - My qualifications are that I am OLD and GRUMPY:p:p0

Burton clothes are smaller. I can vouch for that. Since Littlewoods Direct became Very they have gone smaller. I ordered one size which was too small so sent it back and got the next size which was too small and finally had to get the next size up. So I ended up having to get two sizes bigger than the rest of my clothes are?! TIt was the same for two "different" brands by Very!0

It's an annoyance us girls have had to put up with for many years. I have clothes in my wardrobe from size 12 to size 18 that I wear regularly, which all look roughly the same dimensions.0
