Different body parts, different sizes

Finding clothes that fit is a constant switch up. I have so many clothes that I need to get rid of. My problem at the moment is my waist is a size 16 but my butt is still an 18. My legs fit in 16's. My shirts can go 16 or 18. Its crazy. I was originally a 24/26

I'm having the same issues with pants. My waist is maybe an 18, but the are big and baggy in the butt & thigh area. I have no happy medium at the moment. And it depends on where I purchase the clothes and who the manufactor is also.

I'm like Pam- if things fit in the waist they bag at the hips and butt. My boobs still require a size 18 shirt.  I've lost about 48lbs, but I've only gone from a 22 to an 18. That doesn't seem fair.

I started at a 26/28 but I'm in XL tops and 18 bottoms, but the bottoms are the same, I can just get into 16's, they fit in the thighs and butt, but my stomach is the problem because of skin. 

I have a Spanx like thing I'm going to try with the 16 jeans, haven't done that yet but I think that will help them look better on, because my 18 jeans look awful cuz of the baggy legs and butt LOL

welcome to the wonderful world of being a woman! LOL

I've always been like this.   Even at my heaviest, I wore a size 26 bottom, and 22 top.  Always. 

Now - I'm in a 22 bottom and a 14/16 top.  It can be frustrating at times, but at long as I'm losing, I dont care much   :)

See Jaclyn, I was the opposite! 22 bottoms and 26/28 top because of the girls! Now I can wear a size 18 top and I'm between sizes in pants. I can't find any that fit half way decent at the moment!

I was wearing a 32/34 on top and bottom.  Now I wear a XL (14/16) on top and 18/20 on bottom.  But I could wear a 16 on bottom if it wasnt for the hippos!

That sounds just like my shape too. I am one size smaller on top than on bottom. Lovely hips and thighs for me.

If the waist fits on a size 18 but the legs and butt are baggy, try a size 16W.

Women's sizes work for me in jackets, too.  In regular sizes, if the jacket fits around my boobs then the shoulders are too big.  But going a size smaller in a size "W" fits perfectly.
