A lot of stores aren’t cut like plus size clothing is. They use junior sizes. Or cut like regular clothing not plus size. And also depends on the quality of the clothing. Here in the USA we have a variety of plus size clothing stores and just like you, I’m different sizes. In regular stores I’m a 3x but 14/16w at lane Bryant but 18/20 at torrid but can wear 00 to 3 at torrid as well in dresses. All depends how they are cut, if they are stretchy or how the waist fits. If it’s an empire waist or at the belly button or below it, same with jeans some are skinny, tight in the legs like a boot cut, the boyfriend/girlfriend jeans are cut wider and I can size down in them. My mom wears regular sized clothing and always wears smaller sizes if it’s Designer clothing verses something made cheaper. Guess they put more effort or better quality of fabrics. Honestly I don’t care the size as long as I look good in it. I just dealt with this at torrid getting a dress for a wedding that I ordered online. I ordered 2 sizes just in case one does not fit and can return the other.
Size 18 jeans but size 24 smart trousers
Hi all,
I’m so puzzled 😔 and this has got me a little down not going to lie,
I wear a UK size 18 jeans, But I do only wear like stretch straight leg or “skinny’s”
I’m starting a new job which requires smart navy trousers. And in my horror had to get a size 24! Because my hips and bum are quite clearly wayyy to big.
Does anyone else have this jump in sizing?
Thanks all xx
