Jr. vs Women's...from another post
| Tue, 05-04-2004 - 4:12pm |
I just bought the cutest shorts at Wal-Mart. I got a jr. because that is where all the cute short shorts are. To be honeset, the last five or six pair are junior's. I have heard that odd sizes are jr. and even are women's. What is the difference in your opinion on junior versus ladies/women's sizes as far as fit and literally size?? Thanks in advance.

I find some of the cuts are a bit different between juniors and women's.
I'm with Miranda, about the hips and legs. lol. Although I have the same problem.
My thougths is that they juniors are cut more "slim" than women's clothing. Even the slim fits of women's aren't quite as slim as the juniors.
And as I said in my other post, I am a size 10. I wear a size 13 in juniors. Can't even get CLOSE to fitting the size 11's. So, I think there's more to it than 3/4, 5/6, 7/8 etc. Because if it's a 9/10, shouldn't I fit in 9's? I can't. No matter WHAT they are, there's no WAY I can get my big butt and thighs into those tiny little things. lol.
But seriously. I think the sizes are more farther apart. Like I said. I wear a size 13 in juniors. And yes, I like the shorts in those sizes better too. But then again, I like the low waisted ones. I tried 11's, they were a lot more tight, and tight in the leg area too.
It's like, no juniors have hips or something. lol
That's my take.

In the past I've thought *alot* about the way pants are cut.
Yes...I agree on the sizing also.
