    Congrats on taking this step, but I'm puzzled as to how you didn't at least know your waist measurement. For us males, our pants size is waist measurement

    yeah US sizing doesnt work that way in most brands for women. im a 12 in the jeans i normally wear. some brands im a 10. some a 14. yeah. go figure a waist size for that.

    and vanity sizing exits for men too, just so ya know.

    If you wear designer jeans/pants it goes by waist size.

    Im 177cm, around 5'9.5"

    132 lbs
    Bust 35
    Waist 29
    Hips 35

    In clothes I'm a size 36-38 French/ European 34-36 depending, I'm not sure what it will be in Uk or US.

    My waist in kind of square, my shoulders broad and hips narrow. In all, far from the desirable female curvy shape much clothes is made for, lol. So I have to test and try a lot, and fold and tuck. Or I sew things to make them fit

    Does it?
    So again, i bought a pair of 7 jeans, 100 cotton old school style. No strech.
    Size 31 and they fit below my waist, at my hips. They are very flattering too :)
    Anyways, my waist is a 32 right now as of today. My waist sits an inch over my belly button.
    So how can a 31 7 jeans fit at my hips that are about 39 imches.
    Im confused.

    I think they are 31 because they are designed to fit someone with a 31inch waist which based on general body proportions mean their hips are usually x inches greater than waist measurements. jeans tend to be worn with the top at hips rather than your actual waist.

    In my prekid days I usually had to get clothes that had a higher waist taken in at the waist because I have a large bum (before it was considered a good thing). Low rise jeans were great for me. Post kids and if it’s high waisted which is better for my mummy tummy i sometimes need to size up for my waist and now have room at my hips. Either way I don’t seem to fit the normal body proportions as determined by the fashion industry.
