Are you kidding me? I've always been able to get size XS (our English teach told us the X stands for Extra, so it actually makes sense). The funny part is that as a woman I have XS or S in US clothes, and M to L in German clothes. I figured they wanted to be more polite to the bigger people and not run out of Xes before people run out of fat. Ladies are more inclined to buy a shirt size M than size XXL, no matter how much their body reflects the number pi.
Yes, German clothes also show that phenomenon. D 36 / F 38 / IT 38 ... We are tallest (and biggest) in the EU so they average on us specially. I've often found myself tinking "if I lived in France, I could wear this" ;-)
