Need help from size 2 ladies

kat5556 · January 2013

I have searched every where that sells size 2 pants (or small 4's) in my price range ($50 and under) looking for pants that fit my new size now that I've lost weight and can't seem to find any. I'm pretty much straight up and down, not curvy. I have long legs (at least a 32 inseam) a short waist so I can't wear talls (I'd look like Urkel

). I've tried everything on in Penny's, Macy's, Beall's Kohl's, etc. They only carry a small selection of 2's and none fit right. I actually did find some jeans at Walmart but there only for kicking around. I need some work/dress pants and nice jeans. Any suggestions?

I love Express's jeans.

Oops, I'm not a size 2. :sad:

Ann Taylor, Loft, American Eagle, Gap, Express, Limited, Banana Republic. I go to TJ Max and find good designer brands at lower prices too.

I found size 2 Lucky jeans fit me nicely (I don't have hips).

Try Ross, Marshall's, TJ Maxx. You will just have to try on a bunch of different brands.

I used to work in the clothing industry, and the same size jeans from the same manufacturer are both NOT exactly the same. We had to tell customers to try on at least 3 pairs of the same brand, size and style to find a good fit.

size 2's are nearly impossible to find, ANYwhere. Unless you are willing to shell out $100+ for a pair.

I could probably wear a size 2 because size 4's are a little big in the thighs and waist. However, I probably have more curves than what you may have. I order my dress pants and jeans from Lee's on-line, and they work great for me.

Also, I have several dress pants that are size 4, the 212 collection of Kohls. Again, a little big in the waist and hips, but I always get a lot of compliments on them. I believe their is a size 2 but I bought the size 4 when I was 5 pounds heavier so I am not sure how the size 2 would fit now.

Thanks for all the responses. I'll try some of these suggestions.

Patagonia and J Crew have great jeans. J. Crew's cafe pants are also narrow through the hips. If you are also tiny through the waist, they will probably gap in back when you sit down though. They are generally more than $50, but watch for sales and do online searches for coupon codes.
