Guest guest Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Hey ladies, Have you been to Lane lately? They have a new way of sizing for jeans. They measure you with a special tape measure around your waist, ask you few questions about how pants usually fit you and you then they tell you if you are probably a blue, yellow or red and then they have sized from 1 up to 10(?) and you choose between flared cut or boot cut. I thought it was pretty cool since they are coming away from traditional sizing that makes us all go crazy in the head and depressed. I think you can find more on their website. I ended up being a Red Petite 4 (Normaly anywhere between an 18-20- my high at one time was 24). And I do think they are more flatering to my figure. It's pretty cool! I asked the sales person if they were going to be bringing this out into the rest of their pants and they said they are working on it. --Alana -------------- Original message -------------- Pants are hell aren't they?

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Yippee for you Sigi!! I so know how you feel about clothes encounters! Its bad enough that I think of my body as an 'it' at times, but when dressing it in clothes makes me feel it ought to be someone ELSE's 'it' instead of mine, that is Hades of the worst level ;-) I am so happy you found these perfect pants just for you!! And being smart enough to buy 2 merits a could of GOLD STARS. Go-get-em gal ehugs - Katcha > > Just wanted to share about a little good stuff that happened to me > today.

Well, my local Red Spot Boutique (okay, Target) is thousands of miles from you, unfortunately, so I don't know that my recommendation's going to be of any use there! :-( *Tell* me about the jeans thing! The only place here in Australia that I've finally found jeans which fit me properly and are flattering are stretch hipster flares from a chain called Jeans West (and they do half sizes too). I have quite a collection in various tones and sizes reflecting my fluctuations from (very briefly) being a size 12 (your size 8, I think) to my current 16 (your 12). Oh well. I try not to beat myself up about the size increase. They still make me feel pretty good when I wear them. Cheers S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really been my battle of late, finding stuff that makes me feel good - so I get pretty excited when I have a little triumph!
