Petite Sizes
rN asked:


I have a banana republic jacket in petite and I want to buy a jcrew one. Are the sizes similar to one another? Jcrew sales don’t let you return things and I just want to be sure. Thanks!

    First of all: TRY ON EVERYTHING YOU BUY!!!

    Second thing: The sizing in clothing has changed alot since I was a teenager.

    A size 7 junior petite fit a girl that weighed between 90 and 115 pounds.

    Today a WOMAN WEIGHING IN AT 150 POUNDS CAN WEAR A SIZE 4??? ***???

    Well, when I get down to 150 pounds, I will wear a size 4!! LOL!!

    The sizing HAS changed, anyone who was a teenager in the 60s and 70s will tell you that!

    Every company sizes clothing and shoes differently, try on everything you want to buy. Don’t buy stuff you will end up giving away to your cousin or sister!!
