I think Heather is right, that the Womens sizes are cut fuller through the seat area, and with tops the sleeves are usually longer (in a short sleeve top), and there is less of a curve cut into the shirt.
My last jeans were a 14W, and were baggy, so I tried on a Misses 14 relaxed fit, and in about 5 pounds they will be ideal. I have a hard time with the clothing sizes too! Even in the same brand, they don't seem to run true. I enjoy buying smaller sizes, but it is such a PITA, to undress, try something on, have to redress, and try another size. The next time you try that size the whole ordeal reverses!!!
And don't get me started on bra sizes-----aaarrrggghhh!!!
