...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. :dancingComment

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.Comment

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...Started lowcarb February 2, 2004

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.Comment

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..ORIGINALLY STARTED:

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.
