Hmmm. At J. Crew, I'd be a 12 bust (L), 12 waist (L) and 8 hip (M). I haven't bought anything there is at least 8 years, so I can't judge how their stuff actually fits me. (Too expensive/too young for me).
Abercrombie: bust XL (ha!), 12 waist (XL), 8 hip (M). I've never even been into one of their stores. The music is so loud I just stand outside and shake my cane at them.
Banana Republic: 12 bust (L), 12 waist (L), 8 hip (M). I should note that the last time I tried on a skirt at BR (admittedly 3 years ago, but I exactly my current size - I wore the skirt I bought the same day yesterday), a 6 was too big.
Gap: 12 bust (L), 12 waist (L), 8 hip (M). I haven't tried on anything here is a long time, so I can't say.
I guess they are consistent as far as my measurements go, but actual size I wear? No.
