Another sizes rant....

[Marie_D]

I'm out tomorrow afternoon for a very boozy afternoon/evening in the pub, so I went out today to try and find a pair of jeans to wear (I don't have any that fit ) and I am so fed up of sizes being so different!!!!

I went to DP's and tried on 3 pairs of jeans in a 16 - they all fit (well done DP's!), I just didn't like them

I then went to Mark One and tried on 2 pairs in a 16 - one pair was too small and one pair was too big

I then went to New Look and again, tried on 2 pairs of size 16 jeans - one pair was too small and the other pair too big!!

It is REALLY frustrating!!!!! I can understand one shops sizes differing from another shops - but surely it's not unreasonable to expect clothes in one shop to be the same size!!?



Ok, rant over (for now, heehee)

Its crazy i have clothes from 14 to 18, same with shoes im anything from 3 to 31/2, 4.Bras well same story theer it depends which shop you go in.I dont know how people order online.

new look have got that elastic stuff in jeans and they start to small and get bigger and bigger until u wash them again
next is the best place to go for a size 16 i feel.

Primark is the worst! Grrrrr!

The jeans I got last week were from Next, in a size 16 - can't even get one of them past my butt!! The other pair fit ok(ish), apart from on my waist, which is so tight I can barely get them done up! Next is right off my list of places to shop - as is New Look - DP's is best for fit in my opinion, it's just a shame all their jeans are horrible at the moment, lol.

i love my next 16 jeans, new look always become too baggy

 

[canireallydothis!!]

Next for jeans, and DP's are fab sizing wise, I have the peacocks problem, i bought a size 12 skirt in there lastweek, fits, and bought a size 14 pair of cropped pants and they are too small!!!

Dont get it !

I personally think they're ALL sized wrong!! I'm really a size 10, but I appear to need a size 16 in all shops :giggle: shocking isn't it, lol.

 

[debtdummy]

I'm 12st 4lb and I'm a 14 top and (though I was...) a 16 bottoms. (Last year I was a 12 top and 14 bottoms, but I'm trying not to dwell , lol)

 

[Gemma1986]

i think all sizes are wrong xx

 

[Marie_D]

Yep, I agree - I am sticking to my guns - I am a size 10, it's the shops that are wrong! Hahaha

Yeah i have that problem too! Except not a 16! :giggle:

 

[Gemma1986]

Well all the trousers i got from next in a 14 seem to have come up different but still keeping them all as my other half said i look nice and slim now!!!

Marie you have my utter sympathy hun!! I personally put it down to the cut/sewing of the clothes vs. our body shapes. It's always worth trying 3-4 different items in the same size, you'll usually find a massive difference in fit in each of them. If you find say one pair of 16 jeans too tight, ask the shop assistant to bring you a couple of others in the same style and size - you'll be amazed at the difference!!

Also, my sister and I weigh the same and are the same height, yet she is always 1-2 sizes smaller than me because we carry our weight differently, go figure

Hope you find something to wear for later
