Used to be a size 32 but have just got a size 26 skirt

Gail - I used to love buying new underwear, I could just buy a 34B 'balconette' bra and 26 waist (ie medium) pants anywhere, mainly either M&S or BHS. Still have some truly elderly BHS pants - they continued to produce fantastic quality 100% cotton ones long after I'm afraid the M&S ones had eg the stitching that kept the waist elastic attached, had entirely failed. (don't get the wrong idea, once I was into buying my own underwear, 60 odd years ago ish, I've not owned pants that actually reached my actual waist!) I keep expecting to need to throw em away, it's getting silly - but whatever your age, you need comfy underwear you can rely on!

Anyway it's now a debate with bras, whose happen to fit. Tescos rarely, Asda sometimes, Sainsbury's sometimes. I could really do with a 37B!
 
I don't bother about bras, I fling mine off at the earliest opportunity. I have a 'pull on' unsure of the size, it fits where it touches. :D
 
Wow! You are doing so well @gail2

Congratulations!

@gail2 well done. How do you feel now Healthwise?
 
It is very difficult to judge size as there is NO standard size, each brand seems to have their own variation of size. Length is also my problem being a short a..e.
I definitely agree with comfortable underwear and shoes.
