Need Some Help With Jeans

This is probably a repetitive topic, sorry about that, but those sizing charts are just confusing me more. I'm new, even to jeans from the other department. I've been wearing skinny fit in "guys" for a couple of years and wanted to make the switch. The thing is, I've noticed that sizing charts in girls from a lot of brands seem to indicate I need a larger pair than something of the size I already wear.

So there is a pair of jeans I really like on Pacsun's website that are on sale for $20, and I can't pass that up, but of course I'm an on-line shopper and I don't want to get the wrong thing. Somehow their sizing chart seems indicate you need a larger than actual measurements. I have found the same pair on eBay where the seller has actually done measurements on them. On a size 5, they were 28" waist, 29" inseam, and a 5 1/2" rise. I already wear "guy" pairs that measure that. But the Pacsun size chart says a size 5 is 26". On eBay a size 7 was measured at being 30" waist, 31" inseam... but again, the Pacsun chart says it is 28". Is there a reason the measurements don't add up to what they're selling it as?

What should I do? Go by the seller's chart, or go by actual measurements on the pants? Anyone have experience with Pacsun's Bullhead jeans?

Thank you. Any help is appreciated.

You are opening a can of worms :lol:

Most all woman's jeans stretch.

You have to also have understand that your not gonna fill up the pockets with stuff.

Most women like a nice tight fit.

I think the best way to decide if a pair of Jeans is right for you , is to try them on.

They all seem to be different somehow.

Sorry i wan't better help.

<<<< hug >>>>

HA HA OOOHHH

Welcome to the sizes of womens/misses/jrs. I can guarantee you will not find the same size jeans by diferent makers that fit the same. Even mens jeans can be that way, difference is, its not as noticeable because men wear them looser to begin with.

I literally can pull out 10 pairs of jeans all the same sizes and they all fit different.

I ussually wear a mid rise jean, they are the most comfy, I have sizes 0/1 to 5 some fives are just right some threes are to big, duh what the. Then you get the mom jeans and they totally fit different. You can get lucky ordering on line but its just that, luck.

My best advise is go to Goodwill, find a bunch of sizes by different makers and remember what size fits the best. Most important though is what maker fits the best then try and order those. You don't even have to buy any of them at Goodwill. I've had good luck with SO, LEI and American Eagle.

Happy hunting

My experience in buying women's jeans is just take courage and go into a women's and try on some jeans.

All the jeans that I have brought have elastic insets and fit really well (the size that have are 18 and 20 and couple of 22's for when I have my back brace on.)

      Hi @Amy Powell.  Nice to meet you and Welcome! I think the first thing you will find is that we are a very Diverse (and Accepting) group here on the Forum.  We all have different destinations, but I think you will comfort and encouragement of many shared experiences and struggles. I do hope you can find a trusted therapist, but I discovered finding 'Community' is very helpful too.  Looking forward to hearing more of your Journey AND your many hobbies   Deep breaths ... One step at a time

      This should be the mantra of the Trans community (and basically all of Humanity for that matter, regardless of Identity or differences). I am happy the conference organizers laid down the law to this Interloper.  People like that are basically just Unhappy people, regardless of their gender identity.  I hope she figures that out ...   And, I am sure she had no idea who she was messing with   Bravo for your Courage and Restraint, Sally~

      People don't understand that you simply don't even need to be on HRT to be trans. They are like doughnuts. they appear to be somewhat intelligent but in the middle it's full of air.

      I'm satisfied to stay here in the Old North State. I have this idea that NC, and SC, are really, like different.  Kinda dumb, I guess since I only live about 10 mi from the border.

      Hi, BlackSparkles.    Nice to meet you.  So sorry that you are alone; you and I are neighbours, at least.  Please feel free to join in any of the discussions here.   Regards, Kathy

      Ivy, that's probably excusable for someone who isn't trans; it could be simple ignorance.  But when it comes from within our own community, it is kind of shocking.    Hugs,   Sally

      Thankfully, Ashley she didn't return after that one time.  I have the conference organizers to thank for that, as they push inclusion and acceptance.  I like to think this particular person got the message about her views being bigoted.  Of course it's possible she took her message somewhere else, where she wasn't challenged.    Davie, you are too kind.  Hugs to you my friend.

      Mae, I would be happy to share the PowerPoint presentation I used with you or anyone anyone who think they could benefit from it.  Even though I presented at Keystone, the content is still mine.  Perhaps I could post the material here or make it a blog.  Interestingly, the conference organizers always pick a wide variety of topics to ensure there is something for everyone.  The workshop committee used my presentation (and others) to ensure the workshop didn't reflect only transition related topics.

      I am curious if anyone else has had an issue wearing panties.  After awhile I find that my dangly's tend to get a bit sensitive after a few days of wearing them and I'll stop for a while so they don't get sore. This is so annoying, I want to wear panties more often. I have tried going up a size (which helps, but not alot). I've also seen a doctor, he said everything is well.  Any advice would be welcome

      Hello everyone.  My name is Tracey.  I'm extremely open minded.  I'll just say that.  
    • BLACKSPARKLES
      I have not been in a discussion group in years. Please bare with me.    I'm considering FFS Facial Feminization Surgery and breasts enlargement. I'm 58.   I am in Canada and planning to go to Montreal for the FFS.  I am 58 but didn't transition until I was 46. My idea for me and my body and mental health is to be and look more feminine.    I believe that the FFS and breast enlargement is what I need and want. Sure my age is a factor but not for my mental health but for the physical.  My health is not the greatest. But not bad either.    I have had my bottom surgery February 15th 2017.   I lost every one in my life from abandonment to death. Much more in between.  I am alone in life. My daily life consists of waking up playing my games then tv then bed.   I want to adopt 2 kitties. But if I'm to do this surgery I don't have a single person who can help. So this makes my life more difficult.  Please stop by to say hello. Tracey

      I’ll bet you didn’t know that South Carolina has at least one and sometimes more earthquakes every month!  And no fracking here.     No wind mills either.  But for some reason we make a lot of ethanol.  We grow more trees than most but it’s all for paper and pole use. Cash crops are still cotton and tobacco.  Used to be a big producer of rice now it’s more of a unique crop, Carolina gold.  Pecans and peanuts are big too.  Lots of fruits and vegetable farms.

      Whew you sure did put up with a lot of negativity! More power to you. Do you still have to deal with her?
