    I hate women's jeans. Life would be easier if they were like men's, where you had the waist size and length, and it didn't change much from brand to brand. Maybe a bit more snug in the butt or thighs, but the measurements actually correlated with real measurements.

    But no, women's clothes manufactures love arbitrary numbers that have no correlation whatsoever to actual measurements, and fluctuate by several sizes, depending on the brand name. Eff you, women's clothing manufacturers.

    But great job on the NSV! I just got off on a tangent there with my intense dislike for clothing manufacturers, haha.

    Thanks!!! And you're right. The jeans I got today are Gap...and the ones in my closet are American Eagle. The AE jeans are still the older (bigger?) size, and still tight. :( Women's clothing...GRRRR. lol.

    I think AE jean sizes are known for running a little small. Congrats!!

    Nah! Just keep trying different brands till you find one that fits you in the size you want to be. ;)

    I personally love Nine West jeans, because they have plenty of room for my big hips in the smaller size.

    Good for you on the smaller size! That is an amazing feeling, I'm sure.
