A Non-Materialist's Fashion Cry for Help

[girlabomination.livejournal.com]

I just realized a few moments ago that I have about a bazillion dolars worth of gift certificates that should probabally be used before any more years pass. Some of them work for online stores which seems ideal for people who no doubt have to deal with cheeky sizes in women's clothing soooo... the question is does anyone have tips for figuring out our lady-sizes for the purposes of online purchasing?

For guys it's easy, because well... just order whatever in a size larger than ya probabally need and you're probabaly good, however women's sizes fit the body differently and come a bit smaller than most men's clothing. I've got a measuring tape to take measurements if need be (although these are subject to change givn that my breasts seem to be growing). I dunno. In the past I've always dabbled with second hand stores until I could figure out what I liked and what I didn't. If sizes were off.. no big whoop it's a couple bucks.

I'd rather not play that game when ordering from stores. :) Thanks in advance!
