There is a huge difference in sizes by brand. I was shocked when I when

shopping a while ago and had to wear a " small " in pants for some of my

clothes to go to work. Now they were elastic waist, but never in my wildest

dreams did I consider I would have to wear a small in ANYTHING! Not only

that but now that I have wore these slacks a couple of times, I am realizing

they are actually a little big on me (not in the waist but in the butt and

hips). I don't think I scrutinized my purchase enough because I would

definitely never think the slacks would not come in a size small enough for

me to purchase them. I really don't understand what " skinny " people do for

clothes. I know they can but sporty or junior type things. But I wear slack

and top ---like someone in their late 30s--early 40s type of apparel to

work. If some of it is too big for me, I don't get it!!!
