I would rather my clothes be labeled with the exact measurements that they are intended to fit. For example, if my pants were labeled for a 27 inch waist and hips between 33 and 37 inches, I would know immediately whether it would fit. Whether it would look good, on the other hand, would mean trying it on. But think about how much time it would save women all over the country in trying on clothes as long as they accept their measurements for what they are. Too many women try to fit themselves into clothing that is way too tight and does not fit properly. You have been around me long enough to have heard my myriad of comments on the fashion atrocities that end up at Farside.
Needless to say, S, M, L, XL and XXL are completely worthless labels because there is no standard.
