I finally broke down and went back to Lane Bryant today to buy a pair of zipper jeans as I had gone up in size from my last pairs and refused to buy any hoping I'd lose weight and they'd fit again. Was wearing those pull up spandex jeans that you can buy at Penney's or Walmart.

Lane Bryant has totally changed their sizes and styles of jeans since I previously had purchased the smaller ones. Anyway being an apple and always with the big waist and no butt or legs it sucks getting zipper jeans but now I'm a yellow, won't mention the number but it's bigger than a 5 and smaller than a 7 and we're not talking "juniors".

Anyway they're more comfortable and always seemed to become too short on me anyway so I'm ok with breaking down and buying the bigger jeans especially since the numbers have chanced so I don't know if I'm a 24 or a 22 or what now. brandyII.:tongue2:

Hey Brandy,

Initially I liked their new sizing too. But for some reason they were still too big in the butt for me. It didn't last long. I went from size 26 to 16 pretty quickly and I am too small for most things in lane bryant now.

There are so many options in the "regular" store, I don't know how to shop!

Well you're lucky, I still need L.B. stores as they've been my refuge for many years. I'm bigger on top than bottom so it's always been hard for me to shop in regular stores. They told me to get a size smaller because of the spandex in them which I did and then the legs and butt weren't too big and the waist still fit, thank God! My daughter is 6 feet tall and it's nice that they have a good selection of tall clothes too. brandyII
