I can't find my size?

Question

I'm going shopping for the first time since I lost 70 pounds and I have no clue what my size is.

I could use the name of a non-vanity sizing brand or someone that works in the clothing industry to help me out here. My mesurements are below:

Bust- 36.5"

Waist- 24"

Bottom- 34.5"

Hips- 31"

Thigh- 20"

Inseam- 33"

Places like Wal-mart, K-mart, Levi's, and Faded Glory say I'm a size 2. That can't be right..so tiny.

Answer 1

I'd say they're right, you are a two. I compared my measurements to yours, and I'm about an inch or two bigger in some places (I'm a size 3). So you should probably stay within the 1-5 range, since some brands do their sizes differently. It's a hassle to have to try everything on even when it's supposed to be your size, but it's even worse to have to return stuff because it's too big or small. Congratulations on losing all that weight!

Answer 2

Go to the stores you shop at and try on the clothes that look about right... if they are too small, try bigger, if they are too big, try smaller... Only way to really tell... I range anywhere from a 6-11 in juniors depending on the brand. So really the best way is to try the clothes on.

Answer 3

my suggestion is to just go out and try on some sizes. if you have lost 70 pounds a size 2 might be right

Answer 4

i would just go and try some stuff on. every brand fits differently, so knowing your size might not help very much b/c i know for myself, that i wear a specific size, but it always comes down to the question of "will my bum fit into those pants?!" I would just grab a few things and try some stuff on and see what fits you best and what makes you feel comfortable and sexy. Oh, and of course CONGRATS on your great weight loss! and good luck

Answer 5

When you go to a store you'll do the same thing you did before you lost weight....you try things on. Not a novel concept.
