TRYING ON DIFFERENT SIZES AT GAP

[@NilaMatters]

Whenever I’m unsure of my size, I always start by trying on the bigger size, just because it makes me feel better if I can size down- and if the larger size fits, I don’t have the experience of trying on something too small.

[@taylor-gi2uh]

Nila McGinnis I do this too!! I find my shopping experiences to be way better since I started doing this

[@mirjanamirjana2045]

Me too 😂

Hey Carrie, could you do a video trying on sizes at Zara? They seem to have amped up their denim range!

[@sevothtartesama18]

Virginia A. PLEASE: I’d love to see what Carrie would think of their sizing

[@paulaluiize]

Zara sizing is different than American one. She should size up in Zara.

[@12345starbucks]

YES!

[@RemiReagan]

Just know for every few employees being bitchy, there’s almost 350,000 people appreciating you. I love these kind of videos because they help me get over the anxiety of sizing

[@beth114]

Ummm...I just about fell on the floor when you said how much that last pair of jeans cost. ...WHAT?! That's insane! Yes, please! Do a thrift flip! You could even customize the paint color!

ever since i gained some happy weight from my relationship, i HATED going shopping for jeans like it made me so sad cus how many sizes i went up, but since watching your videos saying size doesnt matter, i can now shop for jeans w out feeling like shit about my size, so thank you!!!

[@Kira-1418]

Honestly, thank you for continuing this series because it's so relatable and it's definitely my favorite series of yours (along with the thrifting vids!). Ignore the employees talking/looking, you're awesome at what you do and positively influencing the mid-size community!!

[@eevee942]

LOVED the sky highs with the paint specks- adorable and so you! also i know when natalie drue does in-store try ons, she'll take silent clips in the fitting room and do a voiceover of her thoughts on the clips. :) that might help you feel less torn about these kinds of videos in the future!

[@michelleyoung5444]

I find the 1969 jeans at the thrift store all the time. Keep a look out for them. I am wearing a pair today and spent 3.50 on them

[@KneeSoxLuver]

They might have a similar look and style but that specific cut was very flattering. Not all jeans are created equal.

I’ve bought gap jeans at the thrift too! Mine were like $6.99 which is somewhat standard for jeans at the thrift but they were like new so I didn’t mind

[@CarrieDayton]

This means so much, seriously thank you 😭❤️

[@yaf8691]

I’m a gap girl through and through. I would recommend going to the factory store because I’ve learned they are much better with pricing and sizes for a mid size body. Also although the quality might seem the same as other stores I can attest that my gap jeans last me years whereas other brands rip in the thigh after only a few months of wear.

[@beingashope]

Have you tried Levi’s 721 high rise skinny jeans? I’m the same height and size as you. In Levi’s I wear a size 32 (14). They really compliment the good parts of my body. The quality is amazing and they’re worth the price. Try them if you haven’t yet. 🙏🏻

[@schasse2011]

Hope Liston Levi’s has become the brand I don’t feel guilty spending money on bc their sizing is so consistent and they have such a wide range of sizes. Also the quality is great! 👖

[@kalliedoscope]

I’m a 28 in almost every pair of jeans, but I recently ordered Levi’s in a 30 (because I have a big butt and thighs), and they so hilariously flattened my ass and would not button. I’m a 27 waist and 42 hips so I know I have a unique body shape, but I just want to have some cute cheeky straight jeans. Guess they’re just not made for me 🤷‍♀️

[@beingashope]

schasse2011 I just bought my first two pairs a couple of days ago and I’m in awe. I got mine at Kohl’s and they had a BOGO deal going on so I got both for roughly $90. I’m over jeggings and really appreciate Levi’s thicker material and quality.

[@beingashope]

kalliedoscope I’m usually a size 12 and I had to size up. Maybe you needed to try another size up because of your curvy figure. I’m curvy, but I’m not pear-shaped. The jeans really made my butt look nice. 😭❤️

[@schasse2011]

@@beingashope they're just so COMFORTABLE! i'm so happy with the two pairs I have. I think I got them for like 48 each? Not at the same time, it was from two different sales. I have never been a big fan of the jegging style jeans anyway, so these are so much better.

[@beautybuddie9437]

I sometimes want to cry when I watch these videos because we have the EXACT same body shape and I never see it represented. It feels so validating to see someone with the same shape midsection (part of my body I'm most insecure about) as me and gives me hope that one day I can feel as comfortable in my skin as you do in yours. Love love love your videos!!

[@Sarah-Odom]

Omg yes! Literally love that you did this! I am 5’10, ALL LEGS, and the gap jeans in Long and the soft wear are seriously the only jeans that fit my body like a glove and don’t cut in up top. Your videos show how truly, all clothes fit everyone’s body differently. There is no size fits all. You rock, keep doin u, also loved you on the podcast almost cried when I saw your name.

[@Melilovexo]

Definitely my favorite brand will always be American eagle outfitters. Not only were they so pleasant to work for when I was a manager there but I love how inclusive their sizing is. Especially now that they carry up to size 22 in their store and size 24 online. It just makes me so happy that I can walk into the store and always find my size. I usually range between a 14 to a 20 (just the no stretch jeans). I hate going into a store and feeling insecure because I have to size up but the size isn’t available at all. I’m so glad you do these videos to show how inconsistent women’s sizing really is. Love you Carrie ❤️

[@halesintheclouds3085]

those white jeans looked bomb on you Carrie!! Even if you didn’t feel confident, just know that all i could think was how cute you looked and how flattering they were!

[@taylorphilipsen421]

You really inspired me to love my body and my new size. I am now a 14 and i am lovin it. I am 35 years old and a mother of 3 so my body have change a lot... it is an every day struggle but i love myself more and more ♥️

[@juliannehughes8753]

Gap sells my favorite jeans ever! I absolutely love Gap they have so many different materials and styles, so the sizing is a little iffy. DO NOT sleep on the clearance that’s where I get mine and you can get a $10 pair of jeans. I always find my size, a 16, in store and on sale absolutely love give another chance!!! Love you and your videos you make midsized women feel accepted!

[@savannah8418]

As someone who isn't midsize.. I appreciate you going into stores anyways because it's good to know which stores are inclusive to my sizing or are trying to be inclusive to my size. I sucks that they don't carry these sizes in stores though because it makes shopping for everyday wear a lot harder.

[@woolypuffin392]

I LOVE their basic T-Shirt. So flattering and the perfect cut!

[@audreybohl7014]

i used to work at gap, i agree that the mid rise are more like low rise. but i’m so glad you tried on the sky high! they are my favorite jeans ever, they do come in more washes online for $80 bc $128 is too much! gap jeans also stretch A LOT, so keep that in mind!

[@LoveHugzSBL]

I love these videos because not only is it so important to normalize midsized bodies but the size discrepancy in American retailers. I constantly feel shame for being a bigger size in one store than another when I prefer the look and feel of those clothes simply because of A NUMBER. Just because we are mid/plus sized doesn't mean we can't rock the same size as "standard" sizes. The end. Anyways, thanks for coming to my rant, and more importantly, THANK YOU Carrie for making these videos because I know how hard it is to put yourself in the uncomfy position, but you are helping so many people because of it!

[@midnightcloud7]

[@twilightjonasfan101]

The Gap clearance section during their 50% off sales items deal is the BEST deals, I've bought jeans for $2.50 there, most jeans are $15-$20 though in the clearance section so the 50% off makes them around $7.50-$10 and they're amazing quality pants so I love shopping their sales section in stores!

[@nicolesposhdisneylife8601]

Love your videos! To help decrease the amount of “awkwardness” you could film the try on and add a voice over. That way noisy employees won’t ease drop 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@MrsKellyWeasley]

I had the same experience at the gap this summer!! Only tried 2 different pairs (in 3 different sizes) then decided I didn't want to give my money to a company that caused so much dressing room anxiety!! Thanks for making me feel less alone!

[@mayacrane743]

Yeah I haven’t been to the gap since elementary school and now that I know how expensive they are, it’ll stay like that 😂

[@mitikdw]

Omg!!! You are so right about inclusive sizing!!! Stores need to carry all the sizes they have on the website!!

[@hayleybergan4067]

GAP has fantastic sales though! 98% of my closet is Gap Tall. Everything fits so perfect on my 6'3" frame. I feel like they used my exact proportions when making the tall patterns. It's the most amazing feeling to order clothing and not have to worry about it fitting properly. Every single size Large Tall and every single size 12 Tall fit me perfect. It's so freaking amazing to have clothes that fit well without compromising on the style aspect.

[@meganbein]

New subscriber here (found you through Sierra Schultzzie), going through your old vids. When I was plus sized (22/24) I wanted to shop at Old Navy (which is a Gap affiliate) but I couldn’t because they didn’t carry my size in store and it was so discouraging because it just made me feel like my body was the problem. I started buying from them when I discovered they had extended sizing online. I recently lost a lot of weight and went down to a 14/16 and I felt so good when I could buy their clothes in store (which is pretty messed up, right?). I’m still on my weight loss and health journey and it is really hard when I would try on clothes (really anywhere) and it would be a bigger size than I thought that I was supposed to be in. So this whole ramble is to say thank you for making your videos because I’m starting to realize and teach myself that it’s not me or my body that’s the problem- it’s stores and inconsistent sizing. Thank you!

[@Akira-fb5it]

Carrie! I'm a fellow tall girl myself and the BEST high waisted jeans PERFECT for a long torso are the Levi's mile high jeans (shorts too) !!! Try them if you ever find a pair. Life changing! (super stretchy too)

[@rita2506]

[@debscute]

The more inclusive sizing being stocked only online allows there to be more options overall- because rather than having to have stock to have enough pairs for every location to have a few pairs, they basically can stock them in one “store” (their e-commerce) which means rather than there being, for example, 500 pairs of the same style of size 20 jeans spread over every store in the country, they can have say 50 pairs of 10 styles. It also stops the issue of all the stock in certain sizes selling out at some locations and others rarely selling those sizes so having lots and centralizes the inventory so everyone in those sizes has more selection. I also hear you that actually being able to go in and try on those sizes is important- but that’s the thinking ❤️

[@kittyqtpie]

So glad you did this video! Personally, Gap is my fav place for jeans because they always have 40% off lol. I'm super surprised you didn't like the jeans, but I feel that you should've tried the super high rise fit because those are my ride or die. Love you, Carrie!! You're such an icon

I love the cheeky straight jeans (aka the last one's you tried on)! I have them in 2 washes. They get even better after you wear them and totally give you the relaxed fit that's so in right now. I usually wait until they're doing the "friends and family" sale cause it's 40% off and an additional 10% off online. The best jeans I've ever owned 🙌

[@joyheitkamp4071]

Just FYI: gap online almost *always* has a 40% (or higher) sale going on. Also, there’s usually an ebates (Rakuten) offer for cash back. I’ve gotten good jeans there for $30ish dollars by utilizing sales and cash back offers. It actually puts Gap jeans in the very affordable category. Also works for Old Navy, who’s also stepped up their denim game. Also also, it’s great if you need to stock up on kids clothing and shoes!

[@eckat5]

I swear by GAP, despite the price (as a midsize person). I used to always get American Eagle jeans, but I was lucky if they would last a season without wearing out in the thigh (not to mention, that was back in high school when I had a uniform and didn’t wear them on the daily). I started getting GAP jeans a couple years ago, and they last me so much longer! I took a pair to Italy almost a year ago, and wore them almost everyday for 5 months straight- they were 1 of 3 pairs of pants I had brought- and they haven’t worn through yet! I find that, for skinny jeans, the curvy fit works best for me (although those only come in mid rise, but I am only 5’ 2”, so the mid rise hits me perfect)

[@sarahwardle5556]
