Your measurements seem normal for size 14. Our sizes have re-adjusted in Canada over the years with the designation to petite sizes, so here in Canada you would be 14P (P for petite). 14 used to be 10-12. I have no idea why they have to re-invent manufacturers designing dimensions but probably because there has be industry standards in everything now.

I don't worry about sizing anymore when I shop for clothes and just go for comfort.

And remember not everyone is "off the shelf" and often the great outfit must be slightly tailored to properly fit.

Also there is size difference between brands,

Yes, but only more expensive brands such as White Stag, Liz Claiborne, etc. I have found that high end brands don't adhere to industry standards in sizing and don't cater to women who are too short or too tall. One has to be an almost perfect small size to shop off their racks.
