New size for me- but...

[ztachick]

...it is irrating to not know what size you are though- like yesterday i got some jeans from walmart the no bondaries brand, and fit into a size 13( :joy ), but in the jordache brand im in a 15/16 and the slacks from old navy and lane bryant are 14's so what size do i wear.....?when i was a 13 beofre i didnt have as much fat on my tummy it was a lot flatter and the sides above the jeans were too... strange...

sizeing is so different....

FOR me i can never shop pants online...
I have to try everything on.
THE only way for me!!! but if
anyone asks your the SMALLER size LO

ALL THE BEST

unfortunately, clothing sizes are not universal. you just gotta get what fits. there is a difference between plus sizes and misses sizes. a plus size 18 is way bigger than a misses size 18 for example. No matter what the number says, the important thing is that you're shrinking, which is reason for celebration. :dancing

btw, one time I got 2 pairs of the exact same pants at lane bryant, same color and everything, but both pairs fit totally differently. i had to get 2 different sizes.

A few weeks ago I managed to fit into a pair of size 18 trousers for the first time. Last week I found a really funky purple and yellow coat in the charity shop which almost fits and it's labelled a size 8!!!!! I bought it just so I can tell people I'm wearing size 8 clothes, but no-one seems to believe me for some reason...

I know!

I know what you mean. I went walmart and tried on a skirt-set and the 18/20 was too big, but the sz 16 fit perfectly????? I could've thrown a party right then and there! Then I tried on a pair of faded glory pant sz 20, and they were very snug. So I tried on a pair of George 20's and they fit perfectly.

I guess it all depends on the design, cut, style, and who makes them.

Yea- i just really wish ALL clothes were sized the same- even if it meant that i went up a size at least i could order from mags or online- or jsut see something and know it fits without having to try it on..oh well, at least the sizes are going down- even if i wear a couple of different sizes..

I know I have been wearing 14's for a while but bought a dress for mothersday that was a 16 cause it just fit nicer.

It Matters not Stefanie your doing an awesome job.
