I also have H RTW in *every* size all the way from 34 (jackets/coats, tunics) to 42 (fitted dresses, shorts, some cardigans) - the numbers are meaningless. And the 42 shorts I bought this season were only possible because they were cut large by H standards. Most of their bottoms do not fit me at all.
Yes I agree! The cuts and sizes are crazy! I prefer to buy directly in the store and not have them order RTW in for me as I never know how it turns out. And they have such a small selection here, it makes it impossible. I had an item ordered to the store from the web site in a size I already own, I thought I was on the safe side. The item I have is supposed to be "oversized" but the new item, meant for the same body parts and in the same size, is even bigger! It's the H RTW roulette!

It’s such a catch 22. You don’t want them to order things for you and then not buy. But you go in and all the good stuff in your size is gone.
 
Given the previous comments, I may be offering a popular opinion rather than unpopular...why can't sizes in RTW be consistent? I have only purchased tops (mostly knitwear) and outerwear and the sizes that end up working for me range from 34 to 42...super challenging to order anything if I have no idea what size I might wear and stock is always so low in store that ordering is almost always necessary. Invariably I have to return something for a different size.
SAME! I never know what size I am and I joke with my SA it almost doesn't matter what size something is because apparently I am ALL sizes! I own different items from 34-42 as well!!
