How do you measure sizes in girls jeans?

14 years ago

Different countries use different size systems......

Usually in a good store the clerks know the conversions......

Or pick out a customer that looks like the same size....have done that before and it works well...

My measurement method: on or off.

Clothing gifts for woman - are you insane? It's not just the size, it's the fit, but butt look the endless critique of details.

Honey, does this make my butt look fat? Answer anything:

Oh, so my other clothes make my butt look fat?

Jewelry. Perfume. Dinner. Spa treatments. Gadgets and accessories she's been hinting at (my wife is a Wii and MP3 junkie). Clothes and appliances I leave to her.

1 post says it all to many give away signs, and i thought newbies had to wait before adding a Sig ? maybe 50 posts before a Sig and pm rights are in play would stop this crap.

And lets not forget ? i need to size jeans ? I know i will open an account on a IM site, that should work.

Your site is new and barely have any post on them and your Learn Marketing site is not even functional yet.

Why do you have a sig for a site that does not seem quite ready?

Not criticizing your site, but don't see enough stuff compelling enough to get a visitor stuck and returning to your site.

No, gift card is one size fits all and (in my experience) preferred over clothing that is too tight <gee he is telling me i'm too big or it is his wish list more than my "style"> or- they are too big and <omg-did he think these would FIT me???>.
Of course, you could get incredibly lucky and they are perfect. :-)
If she has a fav. pair and you have access, you could 'duplicate' brand/size.

Disclaimer: I'm rather jaded thanks to an ex-sociopath ...umm..i mean, husband...

really comes down to how well you know needed info, and finding a like-shaped customer willing to test for you might be best bet

Yeah, sizes are ALWAYS different! From what I understand, EVEN girls sizes in the US are just DUMB! At least MALE sizes have SOME bearing in reason. For male's pants, for example, you have waist and length sizes. A simple measurement can get you CLOSE to the size. Unfortunately, NOBODY grows in an IDENTICAL manner, so pants may be based on a bunch of different templates, so the sizes can't be the SOLE measurement.

Apparently, female clothing is based on a size system that must be related to another. So it is like weight loss commercials, ad a man might say "I went from a size 44 to a size 40", and you know they lost approximately 4" on the waist. A WOMAN might say "I went from a size 2 to a size 0". WHAT THE!?!?!?

BTW Women often want things to appear slimmer, and may have different figures, so I imagine she may want to try them on. Your best bet is to get something CLOSE. Of course, I couldn't even APPROXIMATE women's sizes, and don't know where YOU are, so I wouldn't try.

If you'd like a women's point of view...

Make an evening of it, tell her you'd like to take her shopping, once you're at destination, tell her you'd like to buy her a new pair of jeans, follow her to her favorite stores, as she tries on jeans, sit outside the dressing room very patiently, having her model them for you, compliment her on every pair, have her choose the ones she likes best, then purchase them!

Trust me, women know what they believe they look best in, she won't buy a pair she doesn't like!

Then take her to dinner, plan the rest, I think you can handle that part!

Warning: While shopping, do not whine, roll eyes, sigh, or rush in any way!

Look like you are enjoying it every bit as much as she is and don't pause even for a second at any "manstuff" stores!

Or, you were married once, and because you obviously don't know how to treat a lady, it went sour, you're now divorced and joined the He-man woman haters club...

Or, you umm, swing the "other way"!

which is it? Oh, never mind, found the answer in your first line:

I will READILY admit that I am a little different from a lot of guys. I am not into sports, for example. I HATE cussing. STILL, my feelings about shopping seem to be EXACTLY like other males. and YEP, I am very much straight.

BELIEVE ME, it is like TORTURE!!!!! And women are often NOT actually looking for the TRUTH. They don't seem to understand that males and females ARE different. It is NOT society or upbringing, you can't blame the "male society" for THIS.

So why bring the guy along if you don't REALLY want his opinion, and he dislikes it so? Maybe YOU should judge how much YOU love the man.

You should be ECSTATIC if a man you like is readily willing to come along. Sometimes they might as well be thrown in jail for a week.

EVEN after "Men are from mars, women are from venus" many women JUST DON'T GET IT! I once read a book about how women think, written by a woman. IT was candid, and SHE seemed to get it.

Why is it so many women figure it is the males job to learn THEIR language, so to speak, and don't acknowledge that any difference even really exists.

I agree 100%! Men and women do think differently, because that was the Master Plan! Opposites attract! Two come together to make one which means the opposite end spectrums become balanced and make a good "whole".

I admire a man who is not all Macho 100% and does what he enjoys even if it goes against the majority! We are all Uniquely made! Life would be pretty boring if all men and all women walked, talked, thought and did the same way and things.

Also, I agree with you that every relationship takes both partners giving and taking, it should not be all the man's way, or all the woman's way...
That is why compromise is a very potent word!

Thanks for your reply Steve! I like a man who is real!

MissTerraK: I know you don't know me, but I will take you shopping for jeans (or anything else) anytime, on YOUR terms.

@Everyone else: Remember guys, it's all about providing original, QUALITY content & ideas in your relationship. If your girl likes what you do for her, then she will tell her "friends", and they will "link" to you and vouche for you, and your PR will go up!

This will help you get organic girls, which we all know are the highest quality and provide the best conversion rate.

Hey, it was in the context of shopping in general, and even still, your "suggestions" were condenscending and feministically militant, '.....don't whine, or DARE look at mens stuff for one second..,"...like you married and are training a child.

Transvestite???

Nah, but something I expect a fake church lady to say, absolutely not surprised.

But with those "RULES" you so quickly snapped out, "YOU" may have a rude awakening as to what you married in the future, if dude tolerates that passive aggressive type behavior from you, Mizz.StepFord wife.

Better check to see if he is related to Ed Wood, whipcracker.

Go rent that movie, "The StepFord Wives", you are PERFECT casting if there is yet another future remake.

You're no Dear Abby, and if dude follow those "DICTATES" and rules you laid down, he just might try out being a Transvestite, what the hell, he's already shopping for ladies panties, one step at a time.

Say, let's say you LOVE, with a passion, a peanut butter, sardine, mustard and limburger cheese sandwich....just because you LOVE it, does that mean he HAS to "share" in what YOU love to PROVE his love, even if he is either allergic to such food or hurls everytime he smells it, is that your definition of love?

I think you need to go back to the factory for some maintenance and tune-up on those attitudes of yours, 2nd in line to Toyota's "stuck" accelerator pedal.

You know, you are only insulting my husband, he proposed, he has decided to stay with me for 29 years, he is a macho man, thinks he's quite the barney bad a** too. Rip away on him, he's not an Imer to reply back, he's a quality engineer for Roush Racing.

Have you seen the Wizard of Oz? Do you know of the cowardly lion? He reminds me a lot of you!

13th you don't know what a Stepford wife is

Terra is definitely not a robot, programmed, submissive, and with no needs or wants, just obeys what they are programmed to do. You did see the movie didn't you? The original was good, the remake sucked.

But in all fairness there should also be Stepford husbands I like that idea

It would be fun to go shopping with a Stepford husband, he can carry all the bags and shop for hours telling the wife how wonderful she looked in everything hahaha

And they'd do all the housework and chores at home. Ohhh someone should make a Stepford Husbands movie, that would be a good one.

And don't make fun of militant feminists, Terra belongs to a secret society and you get on their bad side, they will torture you while you sleep. Kay King gives the mercenaries the orders so don't get on her bad side either

Yeah, but "the ladies" in the major majority of times slowly lose respect for guys like that.

It would be like she married her brother.......chicks don't get hot for their brother.

Not saying a guy should never, ever do that stuff, but some of that stuff should be in is very small doses and in a balanced schedule, like ingesting copper for supplementation.

It's not a movie it's one of those "reality" shows. Oh I just wish I could upload the one with Karen, she was just evil the way she screamed and insulted everyone over nothing and everyone was her slave. And you had to wonder why the fiancee was marrying someone so evil but he's the one who proposed. I don't think any of em are on youtube.

Shocked at 34 inch hips as too big???

You like a "famine" type frame?

Needs a few more corn feed, meat and potatoes for my taste.

A 34" inseam is what Sal's talking about.

34" inseam! Considering I am considered by some to be tall, and my pants are only 32", a 34" INSEAM would make her TALL, like maybe 6'8"!!!!! Of course, she probably isn't short, and she DID say she was accounting for stilletos, so I can understand.

Wikipedia says they can be up to 10". THAT would make her TRUE inseam like 24, which would make her maybe 5'10". That would be taller than the average woman, but certainly not overly so. All approximations, in case you are wondering.

Steve, that's what caught my eye...I'm 6'6" and I have a 34" inseam (I have short legs/long torso) so naturally seeing a woman say she needs a 34" inseam got me wondering.

I'm also a leg man...:p

Uh...Joe? I'm assuming they'll look terrific and am accounting for stilettos. If that doesn't go - it's easier to hem than to lengthen. LOL.

apparently women's waist/hip/inseam sizes are top secret. They have a cryptic system for labeling their sizes because god forbid someone tell a woman she's fat. The only way you can understand the measuring system is A: Be female, or B: have a super secret decoder ring...that can only be gotten if you are a female.

I agree with that guy ^^^^^
You just don't buy women (or other ppl period) clothes. Think most with common sense would know that esp. a 66 yr old. If you want her to have clothes give her a credit card and let her pick them out. Everyone has a different style and tastes, everyone should buy their own clothes and the only other ppl you should clothes shop for is kids.

Just like when my grandmother would get me clothes for my birthday- they were NEVER worn. I just wondered where she got them. Getting a teenager a big teddy bear sweat shirt?? Never wore it. Think she finally figured out clothes was not a good gift idea. Different tastes.

It's simple, get a tape measure then check your girl's waistline, etc. Just make up a reason why you need these stuffs. If you can't think of any, then bring her to the store then let her fit that item. Usually, I'm doing that strategy. It's not a surprise anymore? Yes, it's not, but at least I'm sure, no waste of money.

Okay Guys -- You need to realize something........

Women are not built the same as men - 6'6" with an inseam of 31"? I am a full head shorter than you - 5'6" and my inseam is 31" - that's to the floor not to my ankle because I wear my pants long - put 4" stilletos under a pair of pants and you are going to want a longer inseam unless you are buying a shorter pant style such as skin tight to the ankle, in which case you want the inseam hitting the bottom of the ankle and not the floor.

Many men are built like monkeys and have longer torsos and shorter legs. Never forget when shopping for women's clothes......we have evolved and have a longer inseam ratio than men do.

  Ah - I'm glad I was mistaken there, Bill -- I just figured that was why we only got the waist up view, LOL. My ex was 6'2" and there was only a few inch hip height difference between us and his legs were well proportioned for a male.
  That thick build might be a good thing on a guy, but I'm thinking that a woman would look pretty funny with the same leg length ratio that men have.
  
  But the point is that the inseam is something that men mess up on when they shop. The pants I was bought without trying first were always a tad too short. Not a problem - just keep the receipt and take em back if they don't fit........then all she has to gripe about is what a cheapskate you are. LMAO.

Yeah, I think we ALL realize that women are built differently then men. That is one reason I just ESTIMATED. My measurements were based on inaccurate estimates based on ME. Still, you say your inseam was to the floor. MY estimate is based on a couple inches higher, so my estimate is automatically too short. I said I had a length of 32". If I followed YOUR sense of fashion, it would be 34". I tried to determine my inseam(Using 8.5X11 paper as a guideline), and it is approximately the same as my pants length! I guess it is. That means my inseam is 3" larger than yours, and I am about 7" taller. BTW The person that said "6'6" with an inseam of 31" PROBABLY has shoes similar to MINE SO, for purposes of comparison, he is "6'6" with an inseam of 33"! So I guess HE has longer legs than you ALSO! Of course, we ARE taller, so that is kind of expected.

But YEAH, women have bigger hips, and a smaller waist, etc... so pants either have to be more expandable, or made to fit the gender. But HEY, even different size MEN have different relative dimensions.

And you don't have to insult us by saying we are built like monkeys. HEY, YOU'RE a member of the great ape family ALSO! 8-) REALLY, LOOK IT UP!

yeah, but that has nothing to do with the cryptic measuring system women use for their waistline.

Ladies if you have a 40" waist, its a 40" waist..get over it. its not a 2, or an 8 or whatever, its 40 fricken inches

Whoa Michael!

Down boy...

we women didn't design the measuring system, we have to use it because it was in place when we were born, and in actuality, I have no idea who came up with it. It could have been a man!:p

There are and always have been men clothes designers and taylors!

You are right though, when measuring your waist, the number you get is what it is!

LOL.

I'll bet a bundle at 1-20 odds that a fella did'nt invent that system.

I guess saying a size 8 rather than 40" girth is like saying flatulence instead of fart.

Or Lavatory instead of Toilet.

Or Grey Poupon instead of mustard.

From wikipedia:

Hominidae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hominidae (anglicized Hominids, also known as great apes[notes 1]) form a taxonomic family, including four extant genera: chimpanzees, gorillas, humans and orangutans.[1]

Inter species don't generally, and I don't think interr family, ever produce offspring, and the offspring WOULD be different. So Men and women belong to the same family, etc...

One site CLAIMS that a woman's size can be converted to a man's waist size by adding 21. So size 8 means a man's size 29".

When my wife and I go shopping I always ask her as she tries them if they make her feel comfortable. That is the quickest way to have a successful shopping experience. And the jeans that feel comfortable for her also happen to make her butt look good, which I like. So it is win-win for the both of us

(not a leg man!) I guess for me it comes down to knowing her size but also being observant as to her style likes and dislikes. I wouldn't dream of getting her hip huggers as that isn't her style, just as she knows not to get me tight fitting jeans as I prefer a more relaxed fit especially on my legs.

As always, simple works best.
