I was not quite sure where to post this. It's kind of related to the "Pants Size" thread. I was noticing that a lot of people who are the same height as me and around the same weight, or even heavier than me, are wearing WAY smaller pants sizes... so I was wondering...
Where do you shop for pants? Or clothes in general? I'd like to know because I'd like to go to the same places and see if I fit into the same sizes! Just curious. I'm sorry if this question is in the wrong area. Please feel free to move it if need be.
Can't wear Catherine's pants anymore, they are all too big now. (Wow, I think that may be an NSV!). Lane Bryant mostly, I also have 2 pair of jeans from Costco, Gloria Vanderbilt "Amanda" jeans. They go up to a size 18 there and I think they are the most wonderful jeans I've ever owned.
I get mine mostly from Goodwill. Mostly I buy Gap, Old Navy and Levi's there. And occasionally Lucky jeans. I can wear a 4 in all these brands now. I'm 5'3"
and just about 130 lbs (alot of my weight is on top though).
Mrs. Lovett, I know what you mean! It seems like people my height and weight are wearing fours, sixes and eights, while I'm wearing a ten! I think it all depends on how our weight is distributed.
I buy mine at yard sales~thrift stores Ect for the moment ~because They are too expensive to buy new when losing weight.
I buy Name brands usually regardless.
They just seem to be made better to me.
Levis/tommy hilfiger/gap/Old Navy/LEI ~Iactually think they sell LEI at walmarts now and I know they sell Levis strauss there.)
Maybe go to a local thrift store....Or a local walmart...to try things on and The prices at both are reasonable.
Just a added note:
My mother weighs 2lbs less than me and is actually 2 inches taller than me and wears a womens size 18 & 20's
(she weighs 190 and is 5 ft 7inches)
My daughter is 5 ft 2 inches weighs 164 and wears 10's and 12's
I am 5 ft 5 inches and I am wearing size 12's in All brands and some 11 jrs when I find them.) I actually wear the same 12's that my daughter fits into at a smaller weight.... So it's basically a shape issue also.Even though she is shorter My mom is taller
We all lose our weight differently & our shaped differently.
I buy pants at Lane Bryant and Fashion because of their "right size" selection. I wear a 22W and am an apple shape, so jeans from most other stores are too large in the butt and hip areas. I occasionally find decent fitting pants at Target as well.
Hmmm... I see a variety. I shop at Target mainly. I fit an 8 in women's and 11 in juniors! Why am I so big? I'm 5'4" and 137.5 lbs. Don't know what shape my body is... I kinda don't fit into any of the categories really. I have no butt, a large bust, small-ish waist, and large thighs. What does that make me? I don't really know!
I have to second DKNY jeans, I go to Younkers...they fit great and aren't as expensive as I would have thought. I always shop the sales!! I also have a really cute pair from the Buckle. They are from when I was in a 14/16 and need to be replaced but I will not do that until goal .
Another DKNY fan here. I wear a size 4R (though the 4S sometimes works). In most brands I wear a 4, but occasionally I buy 2 or 6 - it really depends upon the brand.
Of course "vintage" clothes can be a size 8 or 10.
