Pants size frustration

Lady_Bane

Anyone else get frustrated when at one store you are a size 8 and another you are a 4? i have a size 4 and 8 that fit perfectly, but I can't stand not knowing my true size! I know measuring is the true way, but no woman wants to tell someone a measurement when asked what size they are!

Maybe you're a size 8 in "Juniors" and a 4 in "Womans"

Nope. Both juniors, Areopostle 8 and American Eagle 4

I've been having that issue a lot lately and never even knew there was a difference in sizes until a friend mentioned it to me. Cause I can squeeze into a 7/8 most the time in junior stores (like Rue or Deb for example) and sometimes even have to go for 10s!!! And Capris?! Ha!!! I can't buy those...My thighs wont fit through them...but they're always loose around my waist!

Buuuuut I can go to say Jc Penneys? And size 6 fit perfectly.

Fashion Bug is horrible. One pair of jeans I'm a 26, another a 28, some I've had to do 32 and I'm like oh hell no if I buy them I rip the tags out. Shorts..omg shorts are just as evil if not worse. It's like can I please just stay ONE size and know my one size in all stores? Would make life a thousand times easier.

Well...Guess it comes with the joys of being a woman? Wish sizes could just go based on measurements, like men!

Maybe American Eagle is like Victoria's secret when it comes to sizing. :-P

For guys it is a problem too as my boyfriend can fit into certain sizes but not others, especially shirts. I'm like O.o when he tries something on and he goes it's baggy and I want to scream but it's the size you told me!!
