Active U - trying to decide on sizes to order??

Roses

Cathlete
I'm 5'4" at about 115. My legs are pretty long so I was thinking of ordering M in everything??? I have a variety at home of Mediums and Smalls. I noticed in Nike I always need a small and my Target brand clothes are always medium. I'm a typical size 4, but hate things too tight. PLEASE HELPx( I don't want to have to send any of these fabulouso clothes back.

Hi Sami!

I just received the black v front pants with the side slits and I got it in a medium. I'm 5'3" and the length is ok, they fit over my sneakers...I think they could be about 1/2 inch shorter but they are fine. I could have gotten a small actually but I don't like my workout pants to tug at my waist so I'm happy with these. So I would suggest you definitely take a small if you were planning on buying that style. I hope that helps!! I love my stuff by the way and I'm planning on buying more}( :7 !!
 
I emailed Sharon specifically on sizing. Just in case this helps, here is what she said:

For Kos-USA:
"Size of the pant sm/2-4. Med. 5-8 Large 10. But go how you like your tights to fit.
kos-usa pants inseam small --30 in , med. 30 1/2 , large 31."

For Oh My Bod:
"oh my bod pants inseam - small/me. 30 1/2 to 31, med/large 32inchs, She made a comment that the pants stretches down more after you have it on."

She also gave some sizing for tops if you want it.
Hope that helps.

If you have them handy Nicole, that way I can have everything ready for when Sharon returns after the 30th. Thanks a bunch!

I ordered 1 outfit, but I haven't received it. I'm 5' and weigh 127 pounds. After talking with Sharon on the phone, I ordered a medium top and bottoms. I normally wear a 4/6 in jeans and in workout clothes from Target (Mossimo) I also wear a medium, so she suggested I go with that. I'm not sure how the length will be, but the Mossimo workout wear is actually a good length for me. I think I must have long legs for my short height or maybe I just really fill them out through the butt and legs which makes them shorter. :p
 
Glad to help! Here is what Sharon said about sizing in tops:

For Kos-USA:

kos-usa tops Tankini's run bigger. Sm/32-34C if they (34C)like their tops tight. ; med. 34B-36C ;large 36C-38B.


For Oh My Bod:

tops: small (32-34b,c); med. (34c-36b); large(36C-38B)
The criss cross top-Is a great supportive top. small /med. sized like small ; med/large is like the med and large; large/exlarge (36D-38C)(custom order)

And I forgot something for the pants sizing for Oh My Bod:
small (2-5) up to 5 foot 4 inches or so. med/large(6-12)


"Now with both of these companies, they are using very strechy fabric. Kos-usa---tactel/lycra, and oh my bod uses ---supplex/lycra. both great fabric, So you want to go with how comfortable the size will fit with you. Some women like their cloths tight and others will like the cloths more loose. That is the best way to judge it, or they can always e-mail me or call me."

I think now you have altogether the total email from her, just edited a bit so you can make sense of it. Sharon will be more than happy to answer any further questions on sizing. She answered my email very quickly (although I understand she is on vacation for a week now)

Happy Shopping!

RE: Active U - KOS Sizing

Nicole, Thanks for posting the sizes for KOS and OH My Bod. This should take some of the confusion out of ordering. The catalogs say nothing about sizing and it kinda helps to know if the clothes run big or small. Different companies have different ways of measuring!
