I tried on 10 pairs of pants, all in the same size (4). I discovered that to fit, I&nbsp;needed&nbsp;3 pairs in a size up, and 2 pairs&nbsp;in a size down. They didn't even MAKE the ones I loved in a size 2, the size 6 in one pair was still too small, and the other 6&nbsp;was miles larger than the 4 had been. I tried several more and finally, 14 pairs later, I left with a pair of size 3s from the juniors department that I can barely button, but make me look awesome. I just want to go in and buy a size. I know that not every body is shaped the same, so I know that each cut or style may fit differently, but I am beginning to develop a real dislike for whoever devises these size standards.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-sizing#post-1120551 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 04:45:24 +0000 Beth Ann 1120551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad it's not just me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-sizing#post-1120427 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 23:37:02 +0000 rae 1120427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no, sizes 0-4 all fall into "too tiny to possibly have fit issues" for some places. Can be so frustrating. :T </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-sizing#post-1120412 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 22:50:19 +0000 Gigi 1120412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh, don't get me started! Places often lump all kinds of sizes into XS petite--when I check the size chart, XSP can mean a 0, 2, or 4. Now, there's certainly not much difference between a 0 and a 4, is there? Grrr.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-sizing#post-1120309 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 20:12:10 +0000 Suz 1120309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And with Vix's warning in your ear, you wouldn't be ordering from Sak's anyway.... &nbsp;</p> <p>Nice jeans, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-sizing#post-1120226 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 18:07:44 +0000 Mo 1120226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>right? &nbsp;Whatever&nbsp;<i>that</i> means! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-sizing#post-1120224 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 18:04:20 +0000 merwoman 1120224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>how ridiculous!!!
