? about clothes sizes

[Guest guest]

Here's a question I am wondering about and havent yet seen asked

here. I recently went into a trendy store in the mall. I bought a

pair of over-alls and a shirt in a size Large. My sister claims in

numbers, a large would be like a 12-14. Is this correct??? I know

before I bought this outfit, my 16's were literally falling off of

me. Just wondering if anyone knows how the sizes match up.

Brynn,

I would have thought large is mostly 16 or so.....I wear medium but prefer

large as I want to be very comfy.....you know like big sweatshirts for

winter and sweaters etc? I also think it depends on the brand. Nordstroms

for example would run smaller than say, Target etc......

This was a very trendy type store...mostly teens shop there. I know

the large is smaller than a 16 because all of my 16's literally fall

off of me, and yet this size large fits well, if not a tiny bit snug.

I guess I just want to know because I too see people posting that

wear like say a size 10 and they weigh the same as me and are the

same height. I know I shouldn't compare...but I think we all do to

some extent.

The sizes running different makes sense.

Large is a 12- 14. I can wear some 12-14's and some 16's in other clothes.

Truly who cares. I couldn't wear them 10 months ago and now ifeel and look

much better as I am sure you do. Just enjoy everything. Ellen(Pam
