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

If shopping online...at least try to get actual measurements!

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.)

      @awkward-yet-sweet I hope you get to go on the trip! I'm assuming from what you wrote that your husband is a trucker. I know what it's like to have diesel in your veins, to sit in a cab for hours on end enjoying the scenery and listening to the music of a big engine, it's pretty awesome and there's nothing quite like it.   @Birdie When ya gotta go, ya gotta go! I hope your state laws catch up with reality one day, but I won't hold my breath waiting.   Well, we might have a bit of an awkward situation happening here soon. It's our 40th anniversary this July and last week we finally decided to do something to celebrate it by going on an interstate getaway to a city which we love, Hobart. Flights are booked and paid for, accommodation in a nice hotel booked, a day cruise while we are there booked and paid for, etc. Meanwhile, our son and DIL dropped in yesterday with our 2mo granddaughter. We told them that we finally got off our behinds and booked a trip and everyone was happy. Then, they told us about our granddaughters' baptism which was organized for June 9th. No worries, we'll be there!    Fast forward a few hours and DIL contacted us to say that June 9th was off because one of the God parents isn't available, and the *only* alternative is for the weekend that we are away! Grrrr! So why couldn't they choose a later date? Because baby might grow out of her outfit by then! I know what will probably happen, there will be a heated discussion and to keep the peace we will once again cave in to the demands of others who never stop wanting a piece of us and we will end up canceling our trip.   First world problem I know, but we're getting pretty frustrated since my retirement last year that we can't seem to do anything for ourselves for more than a day or two at a time.

      April, Those are beautiful. You may want to check out the offerings from this company, Trisha Waldron Designs. I discovered her jewelry a few years ago when I was at the Rapid City Regional Airport in Rapid City, SD. They have a gift shop there that had her jewelry.

      Heavens to Murgatroyd! What if Governor Abbott has installed genitalia scanners on the commodes? I suppose they could collect, catalog, and then with the genitalia scanner, activate the Klaxon, the red lights, and then initiate the barriers to contain you until the police arrive. Weird times, and weirder politicians, call for extreme measures. All of this caused by you wanting a gladder bladder. Woe is the world...   On a more real world note, be careful Birdie. Someone may snitch you out just to see what happens.

      Congratulations on the ear piercing @MirandaB!! You'll get over the concerns about sleeping on them or how they're healing quickly. I found myself scouring Amazon and eBay for different types of earrings so I had them on hand when I was healed. My favorite earrings are a pair of flame painted brass feathers and I have a pair of leaves I love, too. So many possibilities once you're healed!!!     @Mmindy- I totally understand the puppy routine. We've has our girl for a week now and I'm amazed at how quickly she's learning. She is totally acclimated to her crate now. She also sleeps 6 or 7 hours each night. Yesterday, she started going to the door and sitting when she needed to go out to the bathroom. Still, it's play for an hour or so and then crash. It's as if you can see her growing as you look at her.   I have been absent a lot here - so much going on with my wife's mother now in hospice, my aunt that I've been helping for over a year now moved locally into skilled nursing and the new puppy not to mention the normal things around our house. I get way behind in cutting the grass and am just finally getting the pool ready. Ugh.    Can someone please figure out how to add more time to the day?   I miss the interaction here. But, I'll get things settled soon and be back to my normal....as if I'm at all normal.    Have an awesome day, everyone!!!

      Good morning everyone,    Parker started to make noises in his crate with a chew toy at 04:50. I was able to catnap until 06:00 when I had to get out of bed. In my pjs I took Parker outside for a run around the backyard. Gave him his first bowl of puppy kibble and water, then started brewing my coffee. He finished off his kibble and played tag with Sheldon (male cat) in and around the dining room table and chairs. I’m on my second cup of coffee and they are both asleep.    @Birdie you are such an inspiration, be safe and go with confidence into the bathroom of your choice. Most people understand you just need to…   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Now for another push downward from a certain political group in Congress. There is an effort by Congressional Rs to cut funding to any nonprofit group supporting LGBTQ individuals. As reported on the NBC News website (https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/house-republicans-lgbtq-nonprofits-rcna152753), the house appropriations committee is attempting to block Economic Development Initiative funding to any group helping us. Don't you just feel the love. Apparently that loving former vice president we had during Trump's presidency, does not believe that public funding should not be providing funding for at-risk transgender minors. One must wonder how much more hateful some of these individuals will become.

      There are some housing assistance links on the internet, but I would recommend contacting an Lgbtq+ community support group in your area, they would know places that are safer for her.

      Yes, I have however, her situation wasn't about housing, but rather getting out of a bad relationship. I took her in until it was safe for her to leave, and now she's happy spending time with her daughter.
