Shocked!

Last week I went to Lululemon to pick up some clothes for my son for Christmas. When I was there I asked the salesperson to pick me up a pair of Large black yoga pants. I figured by the time I was ready to work out they may fit me. I didn't have time to try them on, but I figured eventually they would fit. She told me that they also do free hemming if I wanted to bring them back to get that done at a later date.

A few days later I tried them on. They fit already! And they look good! I couldn't believe it. I took them back to the store to get them hemmed. As I was in the change room, the sales person asked me what size they were. I said, "a large". She said, "Oh you mean size 10". I said, "No, I mean a large!" (laughing). She said, "A size 10 is a large". I was shocked. When I was about 30 pounds lighter than I am now, I would be lucky to get my big toe into a size 10. WTF! What is going on with women's sizing?

I really don't know what size I am and besides it will probably change by next week, and I know it is only a number but "holy confusing"!!

Anybody else confused?!

They def arent standard sizes at lululemon. For example prepregnancy i i was a size 14 but fit into their size 10. Makes no sense!

LOL! I know! Do you think it is their way of making their customers feel good about themselves!? My daughter was a size "00". I mean what the hell is that - less then nothing?? Too funny!

As someone who ONLY owns Lulu Leggings, this is a HUGE win in my books. I actually find they fit very small - and they only go up to a size 12. So you better be LOVING this :)

When I was at my smallest I fit into a size 8. Right now I am in a size 12 at 177lbs (only 5'0). I carry my weight in my lower body, round hips and big booty for me. Be proud of that accomplishment!!!
