What is UP with woman's sizes???

Okay, I have three pairs of size 22 jeans and 2 pairs of size 20. One of the size 20 fit me and one of the size 22 fit me. The OTHER 2 size 22 and the OTHER size 20 I can't even button! What's up with that?!?!?!? And both of the size 24 that I have are practically falling off of me. If I don't wear a belt with them I'm constantly pulling them up. It's frustrating! People will ask me, "Well, what size are you in now?" I don't flippin' know! Michelle 340/???/175

I feel your pain, 'Chelle. If it's any consolation, I am having the same problem. Hugs, Tracy

Michelle, One of the curses of being a woman is unstandardized sizing charts between manufacturers. That plus, what was a 16 years ago is probably a 14 or 12 now. I don't get it. I just rescued my 1980s clothing from my ex-husband's house (long story) and in order to sort the clothing I had to use the tape measure to group like sizes together. A 30" waist was a 16 in one garment and a 14 or even 12 in another. When people ask "what size are you in now", tell them the truth "I have no idea!". LOL! Kathy

Sizes totally bug me. Waist wise I am in a 18 but leg wise I am still in a size 20. Unfortunately I had huge legs and my waist is losing way faster than the lower parts. I did buy about a month ago two pairs of pants in the mens section, 36 30s, and I am in love with these jeans. They fit perfectly and are so comfortable, the only down side is its been a month and Ive lost about 15 more pounds so they fit good when I first put them on and then after about an hour I look like Im bummin. Oh well, My husband says you should get them 36 32 then I can wear them when your done with them lol. I envy the day I will be happy with my legs, candy

I feel you. I am small up top and my thighs are going down slowly!!! I was never top heavy, but bottom heavy. I am moving through the sizes pretty quickly though~~~~~~~~~~~~

Girl, if i were you, I would say I wear a size 20. I would say the smaller size of course. I would then follow that with the witty reply, "it doesn't matter though cause i will be in another size in another week any way!" I know what you mean, I bought new clothes and pants for work size 18.. I got some that were snug(so i could wear them longer) and not what i would have bought before surgery i like my clothes a little lose, no tight spots. Well, they now are all loose on me, but there is this pair of size 18 shorts in my closet that i used to could wear, well, they are still too tight. But my size 18 pants are falling off. I think the shorts are not women sizes and dont have the extra room in the rear end. At least that is what i am telling myself. Keep up the good work! soon we can say size 12!
