I feel this. Even for jeans, where measurements are given, it can be tricky to get them right. Oftentimes, the cut makes all the difference. In the end, that's the design of the garment and that might fit your body or not. I think designers should have all the freedom in the world making their jeans tighter or looser, higher or lower at the spots they want but a better description would reduce returns for online stores a lot.
Though, I've seen some stores which put serious effort into this, allowing you to enter body measurements and then showing how it might fit you with a sketch or allowing you to compare it with another pair of jeans.
Tbh, online shopping clothes has never been a good idea. I don't know how it became so popular when it is so much extra effort to find clothes that actually fit without gathering a huge collection of pieces that don't.
Stores rarely have the sizes I need. Shoes and clothes are a pain to find.. but when I find something I buy the same thing online over and over again until I can't get it anywhere anymore. It's easier than going to the stores and realizing they don't have it anymore.
Over the years I've also gathered a few brands that make clothes I like, I understood their sizing scheme and are not fast fashion. It's easier to search online what I want and then order it to the store.
