ON sizing?

Maya

I have heard Old Navy runs quite big but I have never bought anything from there. Wondering if I should put down a 0, 2, or 4 on my wish list? 4 is what I wear 75% of the time, 2 is 20% of the time, and 0 only on occasion when things run large.

I think their sizing runs really funny. I have thigns that are M, L and XL from them that I am wearing right now. Sweatshirts/tees/cami's tensd to run large, but fitted shirts run more true to size. Their pants it just depends on the cut. I am wearing size 12 skinnies from ther right now, but the last time I was in the store I tried on a 14 in another cut and couldn't get them on. The best thing to do would be try try things on in a store and keep track of what sizes fit, or just shoot for the middle.

I was actually looking at a skirt. A lot of the reviews say it runs big so I'm inclined to size down but I don't know whether to size down to a 2 or a 0. I'd like to get down there to try it on, but I have a coupon and I don't think I'm going to be able to make it by the time it expires. I guess I could get both and ship the one that doesn't fit back.

Edit: that ended up being the smart thing to do, as they have free shipping now on orders over $50 and when I send one of them back, it will be a free return! I'll only be out $23 by the end.

Maya - about half my wardrobe seems to end up coming from there bc i love a sale and I love clothes that can gt dirty. I find them to run on the bigger side. Or at the very least true to size. But if anything for someone like you I would think they run big. I wear a medium/ size 8 (rarely a size 10 in some jeans) there and that is pretty true to size for me. But I have noticed my petite/ thin friends find their stuff to run big. Can you get to a brick and mortar and try some things on?

What skirt is it? Maybe I have tried it on and can tell you!

Agrace, I placed the order and got both a 0 and a 2 to try. It was the denim pencil skirt.

I didn't bother with the 4 because I figured ON probably runs similar to BR and Gap, where I always wear a 0 or 2.

You did good. I have a similar one from them in an 8 (my normal size) and it is too big. I think you will find one of those two sizes to fit you great. I don't have that exact skirt but it may end up being mine because that kind of waist and length is so flattering. Have a similar one by Converse from Target that is like that and it is a real workhorse. Good pick. Did you get blue or black?

I got the blue, but I really like the black so if it ends up working out, I might have to duplicate!

I'm a little concerned because some of the reviews said those pockets puff out and don't sit quite right, but I'm not all that hippy so I'm hoping it will work for me. If not, I'll just cut out the pockets and sew them shut.

Agrace, if you decide you want to get it, ONSAVE20 will get you 20% off. I ended up paying $23 for it (well, at least I will once I return the one that doesn't fit). Size 6 seems to be out of stock though, if you planned to size down.
