That's awesome! What a great experience for you!
I just had one in the opposite direction because I think they've changed my favourite brand of jeans and how they sized them and what they called them.
Sizing must be all over the map because I went shopping today for jeans and I used to buy one particular brand sold here called 'Joe'.
'Joe' jeans used to have numbers to categorize their styles of jeans, 101's, 102's, etc. Now, they have a different way of naming the styles and I swear the sizes have gotten a lot smaller. At 219lbs I was squeezing (and I mean literally squeezing) into their style 101's, size 16's and it was painfully uncomfortable.
Well, 57lbs lighter - you'd think I'd be in a much smaller 'Joe' size. But, like I mentioned, now they have styles called J1's and J2's, etc., and they seem much smaller. Now, at 5' 3" and 162lbs I'm just fitting into a size 12... sizing is crazy!!!
Hugs,
Kimberly
