are sizes always accurate

[great2bfit]

I'm feeling a little bummed right now I just ordered a really cute pair of jeans from venus swimwear and couldnt even get them up my hips, I always get a size 2 in all my jeans and slacks and these were a size 2 and now I have to send them back and get a size 6. I never wear a 6. Anyone else have this happen to them. Its amazing how this has made me feel like a big cow. Thanks for letting me vent. Lori

I don't know who decides on sizes, but no they are not all the same. Not only will different brands fit differently, but even the same brand, same size may fit different. I tried on 3 pairs of Levi's recently and all were the same style, cut and size. The only difference was the color and all three fit different. Try to remember the size it just a number. It's how you look in the clothes that matters. I know it's hard some time to look past the number, but I'm sure you'll look great even in the new ones.

Sizes are most definitely NOT the same, and it's a pain! The only consistency you will find for sure (I think!) is within the same brand, and at places like QVC, that have a standard size chart (which is standard for all THEIR clothes, but not necessarily for anyone elses). Different style can fit differently as well. I weat a smaller size in "loose fit" than I do in other styles.

At one time, I had pants that ranged from size 5 to size 9 in my closet, and they all fit.

MOOOO! (I'm a size 6 now!)

I read somewhere that the more pricey the clothes the roomier they are. I don't buy many clothes so I don't know if that it true or not.

I have never found swimsuit sizing the same as clothing size. I also wear a 2 and I need a 6 (and sometimes an 8) in swimsuits.

Venus clothing runs really small. Even their swimsuits do.

While I really like their swimsuits, their regular clothing is of poor quality and a lot of times that seems to coincide with sizes running small.

I've never ordered jeans from Venus, but I've ordered several tops and I always, always order medium. I'm a small everywhere else I shop. When I order bathing suits, I also get a medium.

Unfortunately, sizing isn't true from brand to brand at all.
