What is up with underwear from Target and other stores?

I am in size 4, sometimes 6 or even 8 depending on what brand, but most of the time it is a 4. However, when it comes to underwear at stores like Target, Marshalls, TJ Maxx (you know, I just need a couple pairs of underwear that don't cost an arm and a leg store), an XL barely covers my rear end. I am always double checking if I purchased children's underwear by mistake, but alas, isn't the case.

I started sewing classes at beginning of year. I still plan on learning how to sew my own cute bras and underwear because of this.

    Are you sure you're in the women's section, not the little girls?

    :laugh: I'm tiny as hell, but I need to wear Mediums for workout shorts and bottoms in general from Target. I haven't tried their undies.

    Watch what cut you get. The bikini are going to be smaller but if you get briefs they may swallow you whole!! I buy the in between ones and the size is true to what my size is.

    Hey,
    Maybe you are buying the wrong cut also look at the size chart on the package.

    I am looking at the size chart and definitely not in the kids section. I swear it is just crappy sizing. I have the same issue with bathing suit bottoms.

    Curious what women's hip sizes are here and what size underwear they are in? I am 37" hip and in every store where I buy underwear I am in Larges and Xl. However, from stores like Victoria Secrets, Dillards, etc, I can fit small.

    Damn you vanity sizing.
  • I am so glad you posted this. I'm a size 6 in jeans & small in shorts, yoga pants ,,, etc, but undies have to be a medium. Forget Barely There Boy Shorts. Even in size medium, those are b*tch slapping my buns.
