a question I haven't had to ask since ... I may never have had to ask this question

How much difference is there between clothing sizes? When, in other words, do I know if my clothes are actually Too Big instead of just Roomier Than I'm Used To?

I think it depends on how they're supposed to fit. If they're falling off, definitely Too Big. If they're meant to be snug, but they're baggy, Too Big. If they're meant to be loose-fitting but they used to be snug, probably Roomier Than You're Used To.
