In Reply to: Junior clothing size conversion.. - (sm)
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 sizes
Shoe size 10 or 11
Misses size 16-18
Just in case the other poster's too small for your shopping finds! ;)
sizes
I found juniors to be about 2 sizes bigger than misses. LIke a size 8 jeans in misses for me came to a size 11 juniors.

I would say it is a 4X or 5X depending on style. Christopher Banks has nice clothes and they don't shrink after the first wash.
Beagles come in two sizes...
There are 13-inch Beagles and 15-inch Beagles. We had a 15-inch Beagle that weighed 65 pounds. He was solid as a rock, and the vet said that he never had seen such a large Beagle in all the years he has been a vet. We now have another 15-inch Beagle that weighs 45 pounds. If you want a small Beagle, get a 13-inch.
What are the engine sizes?
3.3 L engine is more reliable.
I'm terrible at guessing sizes, myself...sm
I know it seems impersonal to a lot of people, but if you can't figure out her size, how about a gift certificate? I always ended up taking clothes back whenever I got them for Xmas...and I learned to appreciate the gift certificates, that way I could pick out what I really wanted myself....just a thought, though.....
Perfume samples/trial sizes
I'd like to be able to buy some trial/samples of various perfumes. I've found a few random ones, even free ones, but I'd like to be able to try some of the expensive brands by just purchasing those small samples or trial sizes. So far I haven't found a very large selection of these websites and the ones I have found only had a few fragrances from which to choose. Anyone know where I can go to buy these for a decent price?
Thanks.
Ask the Department Stores that sell them. They often have travel sizes. NM

Yes, it was Dove. I agree that seeing older models of varied sizes..
helps us to imagine what clothing will look good on different body types and older/younger people. I know that Lands End used to have a feature called My Model, or something like that. You input your height, weight, measurements, even age, face shape, hair color and style, and you had a more or less realistic model, and the online shopper could then try the Lands End clothes on the model before buying. It was a little painful to be truthful and put in my measurements, and then see my cartoon model stand there in her underwear waiting to be dressed! LOL But I have to say that it was helpful. I tried on clothes that I thought would look great, and they didn't. When it came to a bathing suit, I actually tried on a recommended suit that I never imagined would look nice. It looked nice on the model and even better on me when it was delivered. It wasn't perfect, but it was a handy tool. I should go back and see if they still have that feature on their site.
I think Chadwick's might carry larger sizes, too. And stop in a bridal shop & at

You mean in clothing size? 12 to 14? nm

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.
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?
Junior clothing size conversion..
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!
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.
What do you think of the quality of clothing today. What I looked at shopping today in nice stores
the stuff wasnt even sewn properly. Do you have to look at everything you buy or just hope it lasts a year.
