Clothes size question...

I'm noticing that my 14W are getting a little big. I've always stuck to the Women's sizes because I have big thighs. But, I don't know where to go from here... I don't think they make a 12W. So, do I try a regular 12? A regular 14?

ETA: Obviously I need to just go to the store and try a bunch of stuff on... I just much prefer online shopping... LOL!

    Yeah, I don't EVER remember being in anything under a 14. Thanks!

  • Honestly, if you could fit into a regular 12, I'd go that way, even if it was tight. You'll get there soon enough, right?

I would say try a 14 regular. I have some 14W that are too big and the 14 misses' size fits perfectly.

Well, I ordered some regular size 12s that should be here on Thursday. They're curvy fit, so hopefully there's a chance they'll fit. If not now, I know they'll fit soon enough.

I was wearing a 16 -18 W. A few weeks ago I bought a 14 r at the local big chain store. This past weekend I went to the outlets and found shorts on sale for a ridiculous price and bought a 12 r while the 14 cheaper jeans still fit so do the better brand 12's. Try several different brands ll cut differently.
