Japanese and American sizes

A lot of people have asked about Japanese sizes on this and other forums so I made a page to help Americans understand how the Japanese system works. It's more of a general size information page, not specifically focused on gothic or Lolita clothing, but I think it might be helpful. Since I only know about American and Japanese sizes that's all I could include, so my apologies to people in other countries. ^^;

Thank you for the page, I've added it to my favorites! ^^

I know, I'm too poor to shop garments from Japan, let alone travel to Japan but it is good having this page "just in case"... ^-~

I do have an advantage I think as in my country (Sweden) we use metrical system then it is easier to compare measurements (and buy bras and shoes) but Americans do have an advantage when it comes to picking out the correct clothing sizing.

DAMN, I WANT TO HAVING LOTS OF MONEY AND TRAVEL TO JAPAN! Ahh I am sorry. *^-^*
