Japan Size = We're Tiny and You're Not

This "Japan Size" tag brings me back to not-so-fond memories of my attempt to shop in Tokyo's Ginza department stores last year:

Japanese women are tiny.  I'm small but not tiny.  So I was completely taken aback to find that the department stores carried, for the most part, ONE size for their clothing.  The one size was somewhere between XS and S.  This meant that most things fit, but not in the best way.  And the things that did fit weren't the things that I wanted.  Trying to shop in Tokyo department stores was an exercise of futility for me.  Godzilla, I feel your pain and frustration...
