I had put on here, that I am wearing a size 4 in jeans and capris. Well, this was true for the Levi's brand that I had bought. Last night, I went to Old Navy and bought some Capris size 4. They looked big enough on the hanger. When i got them home and tried them on, I zipped and snapped them with ease. When I looked in the mirror, I noticed they looked like I was poured into them. Returning them tomorrow, I think a 6 would be the more appropriate size. I won't buy anything else without trying them on. Didn't want to mislead anyone, was just so darn proud to ever see a 4. This may seem trivial but it was an eye-opener for me. BTW, DH thought they looked great that way but said " I always liked my women a little on the trashy side". He's a pig. LOL

Re: Hubby -- !

Different brands are sized differently. Don't feel like you have to impress anyone with a size number. Especially us here... we'll support you.

Hey, don't feel bad. The same thing has happened to me before. If manufacturers would just all use the same sizing they would keep making a liar out of me! I've got a pair of size 2 jeans that fit and a pair of 10's that are a little snug. Go figure.

Lilly -- Sounds like they aren't that tight, so keep them till they fit, make them your goal pants...or pant-o-meter...

for me.. as long as the button and zip with ease, then they fit. I like my jeans that way. As long as I dont have trouble sitting or breathing. Thats just me though.

I think that what Ilene suggests is a great idea!

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to impress anyone. Just felt guilty and thought maybe I lied when asked about my true size. I think you girls are correct and I will keep them and since I still have some more to lose, maybe they will fit good when I'm done. Good luck to all.
