I thought i was the only one. LOL. It drives me insane to be between sizes. I tend to wear the bigger size until the smaller one would fit. I refuse to wear pants too small. I really hate the muffin top effect. Not to mention my waist hates me after 30 minutes of being squished to death. Thank goodness for belts...

Looks like it must be something with that 12-14 size range lol. My 14s are too big but 12s too tight. Alas...I will continue to wear saggy bottom jeans :)

I hear ya!

It drives me nuts because my upper body is smaller than my lower body.... I'm definitely pear shaped and it's INCREDIBLY hard to find any kind of jeans that actually will feel comfortable on me without making me feel like my breath is being choked out of me or I've got a huge muffin top! I wear tons of skirts, yoga pants, pajama pants, and goucho pants..... but god, I'm longing for the day that I can fit into a pair of jeans comfortably again.... but that was when I was about 170, and I've definitely got a while to go. *sigh*

Right there with you gals. It's frustrating to say the least. Seems the people who made the jeans would come to their senses and make inbetween sizes. *sigh*

Jelbb - LOVE Lululemon! Gives anyone an instant butt lift :D

i have the same problem, so i just stick with big pants ... and hopefully those tight ones will fit one day

I'm a cheap, broke college student so it's the same here. Until they're falling off, I'm not getting new ones (plus I've got plenty of smaller sized jeans). Now if my dear mother decides I just need them, new story! ;)

I just ordered some very cheap size 12s from old navy, so I can have them to try on, and that way when I DO fit into 12s I'll know right away.

Sometimes I feel like I'm nuts, but oh well.

HOORAY for not fitting our pants!!! haha.

Hah, mine are the opposite. They fit fine in the waist, but my rear is impossible to find through the excess fabric.

I'm a textbook apple. Lots of belly, no butt at all.

I've got the same problem Ruby. There's so much extra fabric around my butt and legs. I've always had thin legs in comparison to my stomach.

At least it's not just me. I am wearing size 12 in Dockers and Lee dress type pants. My 14 jeans are pretty darn loose at this point but 12 jeans are just too tight. Why can I wear 12 in dockers but not jeans?

I have a class reunion this weekend and basically I'm screwed so far as clothes, nothing fits right. I finally bought a pair of 12 docker capris and a new shirt for the "formal" night. The whole thing is casual dress but I would like to look cute for the main event ya know? I'm also plateauing right now and have lost practically nothing in June despite being almost POP for the whole month! It's great to be smaller but no clothes is driving me crazy!

I always wished that women's jeans were sized like men's using a waist and length measurement. I understand that woman have hips so it might be a little tricky but how hard would it be to maybe just have those sizes and classify them as apple, pear, etc. shapes? I know that Fashion Bug and Lane Bryant do the True Fit jeans but even they are misleading as they classify the sizes as 1, 2, 3. etc. instead of an actual waist measurement. Maybe they think women like these "smaller" #'s but seriously I don't think ANYONE would mistakenly think I wear a Jr size!!!!

BTW thanks for posting the Yoga pants, they are so nice looking. A little pricey for me but nothing I couldn't save up for!

Heck yes! I'm in between sizes right now depending on where I shop. I'm anywhere from a 16 to a 20. It's really making me mad! I can't get a good gage on what I'm losing except for in clothes that I already own. I'm having a hard time finding basics that will fit me. I just want a white button down shirt people! Without ruffles or puffy sleeves or weird designs. How about a black summer jacket I can wear to work? NOPE.

How about just a t-shirt?? Nope can't find one that isn't either too baggy, which makes it slide down and show too much of my chest, or too tight which shows the spare tire.

GRRRRRRRRRRR

I can't remember every in my life being able to find a plain white women's button down shirt. Ever. They always have weird lacey bits or sparkly buttons or other weird things. SO ANNOYING.

Am I still going to have this problem when I'm skinnier, or will my stomach size someday be a normal proportion to the sizes of my butt and legs? I hope it's the latter.
