That is because sizes run differently in different departments. (seamstress over here)
Juniors are meant for "teenagers" really-not fully developed women. They are made for smaller hips, waists, and smaller breasts. In sewing patterns they are the same way. Misses (for adult women) are made for a more curvy, fully developed figure. To tell them apart-Misses clothes run in even sizes, and juniors run in odd sizes.
That is why someone may wear a size 7 or 9 in juniors jeans...but may be able to wear a 6 in Misses.
Plus sizes have a generous fit all the way around. I wear a size 14 jeans in Misses-but a size 14 in plus sizes is way too large.
