What is the difference between Jr, misses and women's sizes?

Question

What guidline can I follow to know my size in all 3. I wear a small size in womens but a large size in juniors. Misses - who knows? I hate shopping!

Answer 1

Usually the difference is the style and cut of the garment. You will find that Jr's are more of a narrow cut and misses allows for slightly more curves. Women's sizes are for a fuller (not fat or big) figured woman, allowing for hips, thighs, upper body, etc. Most jr sizes are also more cutting edge trendy (what's hot) Where as misses is still trendy, just more fashionable. Women's is usually more career minded or classic in style with modern upgrades.

Answer 2

Juniors are smaller and also styles for a younger group -- teens and early 20s. Womens includes larger sizes -- often 16 and up -- which they used to call "plus sizes". They used to mostly be fussy, old lady clothes. But the fashion industry is paying some attention to these women now and attractive -- even youngish -- clothing can be found in these sizes. Misses is in between, both in sizing and style. If you are a small in womens, you are probably either a small or medium in misses. It is frustrating, though, that's for sure.

Answer 3

than you belong in only one of those sizes, I know that there is no size for me in Jr or misses, I wear the woman size which is a bit bigger made than the other two, it might be an difference in the style and colors, that is all...

Answer 4

misses is kind of inbetween jr and women's, it is usually for people in their 20s. not all stores have a misses section.
