  • I needed a new pair of white jeans and I was in the store with my mom. I tried them on, and DAN DA DANNN! *fanfare* THEY FIT! I was so excited Plus they were on sale. And for chuckle purposes, I have my physical tomorrow. 20+ lbs lighter than last year, my doctor is going to pop a blood vessel when she sees me
  • A size 24???? At your height and weight? I'm confused!
  • They weren't like fitting PERFECTLY, but like 7 more and they'll be perfect. But I was able to get in, close them, and breathe, so it's all good
  • No, no, don't get me wrong, I'm very excited for you and you should be very proud! But I'm thinking that maybe you mean a 2-4, not a 24? There's no possible way that you're wearing a 24.
  • Um... yeah. You must mean a 2-4 because there is no way at even your heighest weight you are a 24.

    I love a good pair of white pants--congrats!!!!
  • yeah - I'm 235 and fit in my 24's very comfortably.....
  • she may mean a European 24 guys. 24 inch waist= size 24. So yes she may in fact wear a 24 .
  • I guess it's in European sizing! My error, everyone!
  • I think we could fit about two of you in an American 24 (not that I'm not thrilled to fit in to these old shorts, mind you but I can only dream of European 24's....)
  • Oh, thanks for the explanation! That makes a whole lot more sense.

    Congrats again on the pants--looking good baby!
  • Yes, that does make much more sense!!! Good for you! Keep up the good work!!
  • LOL...I was confused, too...especially after I looked and saw she was in the US.
  • some higher end US jeans use waist measurement sizing. Off the top of my head lucky brand jeans comes to mind
  • Good Job! Keep it up!
  • Yes, I have seen some womens jeans in a store that were sized by the waist size, like men's jeans. I think that since I am a size 10 misses, it corresponds to a 30 in that sizing. So a 24 would be likely a 4 misses or 3/4 juniors, I'm thinking. Is that about right, Elana?
