How do you determine what size a junior 15 would be in misses? How do you convert that? Just trying to get an idea.
Thanks!

You mean in clothing size? 12 to 14? nm

I cannot shut up *LOL* - JUNIOR's restaurant..sm
which is ON Flatbush Avenue when you first get into BKLYN.....it's on the right going towards Prospect Park - it's been there for 50+ years and has some of the best food in NY......Junior's......(remembering all kinds of cheesecake....*lol*).....
I have heard of a junior pastor
coming in and stealing all the cash offerings and it went on for years, so anything is possible.
A pastor is a servant. Does this behavior sound servant-like?
Some women never move on from junior high.
I cannot deal with drama queens, so I have only about three close female friends. I have lots of male friends, though, and I love it. Much less maintenance.
I remeber during a choir concert while in junior high
our director (she was one of the coolest teachers) forgot to turn on a microphone and when she came on stage to turn it on she said. The kids went wild. It is funny though, it seems like I stopped hearing it for a while (guess when my kids were younger) but now I hear it all the time.
Need $3-$5 gift ideas for junior high age kids
I know it's not much to spend, but I didn't make the rules about this gift exchange. Need something that would work for boys and girls. I was hoping to be a little more creative than Mickey D's certificates. Thanks for the ideas. It's greatly appreciated. :>)
Middle school/junior high was the WORST 3 years

clothing sizes
I don't know if this would further offer assistance, but I have also been in junior-sized clothing, and I am in my early 40s. I was a size 0 in high school and am a size 1 or 3 now, depending on the brand/manufacturing, which in and of itself is of consideration. For instance, Old Navy only has even sizes, so I would be in a size 2 for that. Misses and juniors are "cut" differently. Misses are cut wider, with juniors narrower from "east to west" with both tops and pants/jeans. At 5ƈ" and 109 pounds, misses would be too wide/baggy for me, even with consideration of a conversion. I think misses and juniors are two different "animals."
clothing gripe
I'm 5ƍ" but most of my height is in my legs. I'm short waisted. I always have to buy the long lengths in pants. Anyway, what irks me is my sleeves are always too short. I live in the NE so need sweaters, etc for the cold and I hate how my sleeves are always too short. Guess I have long arms too? I dunno. I wish you could find clothes not only with extra long pant lengths but also longer sleeves. 
Too tight clothing
I ADMIRE people who have the guts to wear what they like and not care what others think. I myself am not too confident. I am now at my heaviest (size 8) and never feel I look that good. I am often envious of those more confident, less self-conscious who have the attitude to carry off what they feel they look good in.
At clothing stores
Most stores don't carry very large sizes, so you end up wearing what you have got, or having to special order.
I have clothing from my mother and
have worn some items. I would not cut up my beloved's clothing and make a quilt out of it. Get some other cloth if you want to do that, not personal clothing.
clothing sizes
Shoe size 10 or 11
Misses size 16-18
Just in case the other poster's too small for your shopping finds! ;)
Better start with the clothing they wear
or lack of. After that all downhill.
So tired of changing my clothing day after day after
well, you get the point. I basically am ok while sitting- just when getting up or in the morning, unable to make it 10 feet without an accident. It has been past time I should have seen about this, too busy trying to make that $$$ and other things I got going on. Now is the time!
tell him you'd have to wear more revealing clothing
I didn't notice her clothing, just her
seal clapping.
That is just mean. I'm not defending inappropriate clothing sm
but your nasty little comment is mean for no reason at all. Don't overweight people face enough trials in their lives w/o someone like you making "big panties" comments?
If only they would throw a sweater over skanky clothing
so the rest of us don't have to look at them trying to sell themselves. Blech.
is it possible to remove rubber cement from clothing?
Why, I don't know, but my 9-year-old's art teacher has these kids gluing a paper project they're working on with rubber cement. So, needless to say, he shows up with a huge glob across his shirt (at least the size of a fist). Is there any way to remove this? Also, isn't this stuff toxic? Should kids be working with it? Should I call the school? I'm at a loss.
I see them using them in the clothing stores. Work great! I imagine you'd

Does your teenage girl bring home new clothing, pocketbooks?
Watching a show this morning and it was telling about how many young teenage girls now having oral sex, 54% of ages like 13-19. The kids on the show said they felt like you were still a virgin if only having oral sex, reallly common place. They went on to share the fact teenaged girls were turning tricks for money, clothing and the like. They shared the fact that if your daughter shows up with things like sweaters, pocketbooks, etc. that they really don’t have the money to buy, maybe you should be investigating about where this money is coming from.
Just my size!
I'm not advertising for the name brand... just stating a fact 
I don't mind underwires, however. I do tend to look for "full coverage"... I don't wear skimpy tops and if I did I wouldn't want it to look like a butt on my chest! 
Anyway, with full coverage, underwire or not, I've never had a problem falling out, ever. So, that would be my only suggestion. I don't really have a preferred brand, just a style preference. I've got everything from Olga/Warner to Victorias Secret to Walmart and K-mart specials. If it fits, covers and I think it's pretty, I get it!
My 15 yo son is 6Ƌ and in a size
16 shoe, and getting ready for another growth spurt. I can always tell because for days he complains his legs hurt and then all of a sudden he is taller and shoes hurt his feet. Buying shoes for him is soooo much fun because when he finds shoes he likes, they usually go up to 13. Found a store that carries them up to size 20 now. I feel like I am going boat shopping when I take him shoe shopping. I was thinking of writing Shaq for leftover shoes....lol. My 13 yo daughter is 5ƍ and in a 9. Here I am at 5ƈ and a size 6 shoe. Daughter is looking into modeling but son is too tall for it they say.
What size is this?
My sister-in-law weighs about 300 pounds and is about 5 feet, 6 inches tall. I would like to buy her a nice pull over, but I do not know her size and I don't want to ask. Does anyone out there know what size this would be. I am guessing at the weight compared to my husband's (her brother) which I already know. What's the favorite store for plus sizes? I saw Lane Bryant was closing some stores, but are there any other good stores?
Plus size
I would think if she weighs 300 lbs and is 5' 6" tall, she wears a size 30, or 4X. If she's a little over 300 lbs, I'd get a size 32 or 5X.
I would also try to shop at Catherine's, CJ Banks Woman or Lane Bryant. They're better quality and last longer than the things I've gotten at Fashion Bug or any of the others. I do buy underpants and plain t-shirts at Walmart.
Catherine's is my personal favorite for both the styles and the prices.
If you're not 100% sure of her size, a gift certificate would be a safe way to go.
Oh look, they're having an "up to 70% off sale" right now!

Plus-size dresses
My friend is getting married in August and I need to find a dress quickly! Can anyone recommend a designer with a line of plus-size bridesmaid dresses? I'll require a size 14 or 16 depending on the fit (probably 14).
Also, I realize this is late and I may have to buy "off the rack" or via internet versus using a bridal shop. Any recommendations in the Philadelphia/So. Jersey area?
Noticed your plus-size??
I hate to be the one to tell you but the average size now in the states is a 14. I in no way consider that plus. Oh, to be a 14 again. See shoulda checked before hand- now that is not politically correct because it makes us hefty girls feel sad!
My DH had one on his shoulder about that size
He had to have it removed and did well afterwards.
My 17 yo DS wears a size 14...
my DH and 19 yo DS wear size 12. There are lots of big-footed men in my house, and I'm constantly tripping over their enormous shoes.
You can't do anything to keep their feet from getting bigger. Just get to know places like DSW and Zappos!
My 8 y/o is a size 5, but she's SHORT...
for her age! I really hope she grows into her feet soon, looks like she has clown feet :) She's only 4 ft 3 in., but has some of the biggest feet for her age.
Try going up or down in band size.
For example, try a 34 DD or a 38 C. When you go up or down in band size, it changes the size of the cups. I ended up having to do that and you'd be surprised how different the cup sizes are when you adjust the band size.
That bathroom's about the same size as

great selection, comfortable, plus they have workout clothes.
By small, I mean size 7 or under. I only wish I was.

Why are big size shoes always
Short people don't have big feet, tall people do.
I have seen clothes that were like size....sm
20-something. I thought any store that carries plus sizes would carry up to very large sizes. At least that is what I thought. Maybe I am wrong.
...myself. Actually a size 12 but still too large around the middle. nm

I don't remember my dress size
being asked on any job applications. Are they supposed to be able to tell over the phone? Of all places to say this - around a bunch of people whose employers have, for the most part, never seen them!

Average size woman
Just heard that the averge size woman in America is 12 to 14. Finally, I am above average in something. 
average size of women
I belive this used to be the average size when I was a kid in the 50s and early 60s. I remember helping my mom shop for dresses and patterns for dresses and she wore a 12. My mom looked no larger or smaller than most other women those days even though she was small boned and wore petite size or whatever it was called then. Of course, they could have changed the way they figure sizes since then. She looked healthy and normal.
What is the weather, What is the price, size, etc. sm
I am freezing up here. Would love to be able to buy and not rent.
Maybe they are tired of the "fashion" for +size sm
If you are not overweight, you have no idea how hard it is to find fashionable clothing that fits correctly for a reasonable price. And if they are younger women you are seeing, they probably do not want to wear the shapeless clothes and muumuus that every store offers for larger women. They want to wear what everyone their age is wearing. Unfortunately, they can't find it in their size, so they buy too small and wear it anyway.
There are as good looking clothes for + size as
for the smaller sizes. Check out the shopping channels, QVC and HSN, same price for small and then the +sizes. No reason for looking tacky and wearing clothing 4 sizes too small, just none at all, sorry.
I was posting above and have found that being a size
20 myself, I do the majority of my shopping on the shopping channels. I do not care for any clothing at Lane Bryant and lots of the other stores might have the bigger sizes but most dull until you get to Catherine's. They are more expensive so except for my black jeans at Kohl's (Gloria Vanderbilt) I buy almost exclusively for blouses, sweaters, coats, etc. from the shopping channels. The clothing is all the same price for very small as well as 3+ and very pretty.
Think that depends on the size of the baby - sm
my first was 7-1, second 8-3-- I do not remember any pain/discomfort after #1 (37 weeks) (except from the wonderful discovery of hemorrhoids from giving birth-they weren't there prior to the delivery) even with the 2 stitches from my slight tear and the D&C. Don't think they had me up and walking until the next day (day 3) though, my delivery was at 6:30pm, D&C at about 10pm-- was in for 4 days. #2 daughter though was a bit bigger (41 weeks) and I ached some for about 2 weeks. I was up and moving that day - morning delivery-10am - and was just fine - not running any marathons of course but able to walk fine, probably moved slower than I had to just to be careful.
Wow, $35 is a great deal for a tree that size!
Where I live that would easily be around $150!

oops, well I guess I failed - i have 2 children, although do have second generation middle class values.
My downies vary a lot in size, which confused
me for a long time because I thought the larger ones might be hairies. The more I read the more I realized that hairies are significantly larger. The hairy we had yesterday was even bigger than a red-bellied with a very long, sturdy beak. There is really no confusing them up close. From a distance it is more difficult.
I have at least 3 red-breasted nuthatches this year. I just looked out and there were 2 on the tree eating suet and one on the wire watching the other two. They are so cute.
