Don't you hate the fact that your size changes when you shop at different stores? Kind of annoying tbh.

[@nathaliesoltvedt8041]

Ik!

[@zzz4838]

Ikr!! i have to take like 5 sizes to the changing rooms 😂

[@IsabellaSara-ii5rs]

Ikr, it takes me ages to find my size, but the most annoying thing is when your between sizes

[@alexandragutoi]

ikrr

[@kiahdale3858]

+Undertale Trash yes omg

[@2ndbaddestfemale]

It all depends on the shape of your body. My closet ranges from a size small to a size XXL. It also depends on the style you're going for. Nowadays ppl like baggy or oversized clothes so a petite bodied person can own a size large shirt. When you like to thrift clothes, you realize size really don't matter lol

[@meri_mory]

reelllaattee!!

[@jessicaschneider1312]

and it depends on the cut of the clothing as well. Like i have some shirts in small that fit perfectly and some in Large that fit.

[@hayleymarie6013]

+Mar. shmallow - Last time I went thrifting, I pretty much got something in every size from XS to XL. It really goes to show sizes aren't really consistent, and that the number or letter on your clothing doesn't mean a damn thing :p

[@Roogie22]

I once found a really cute shirt in size XL although I'm XS/S and I bought it anyway, and it fit me really well. So the number/letter truly doesn't matter.

[@meldresser6380]

I'm quite tall (5'11), so clothe sizes matter a lot. My shoulders may fit in a S, but it won't be long enough. It works if you're average/petite height and small.

They should've added a skinny lady in there, us overweight women aren't the only ones who struggle to fit into a specific size

[@Kariiiiiii]

ikr i expected at least one slim woman

[@friendforfriend1]

Idk, I don't mind, and I am an extra small. skinny people never look "stuffed" and i think this was aimed to encourage plus sized or XL sized women to not try to stuff themselves into something too small.

[@ohheyitssoumy5959]

Ally & Ash yes but my skinny friends struggle with finding a size that fits them, they sometimes shop in a section for younger girls which hits their confidence... that is also an issue that needs recognition... they need to make outfits that fits ALL sizes, plus and skinny!

[@PP-tl7my]

+Siham Al Ramahi It'd be cool if they put someone with a really big hour-glass figure, too. Like maybe one plus sized, one minus sized and one hour glass...I feel like these are the three body types who struggle to find proper fitting clothes the most. C'mon buzzfeed, get to it.

[@rozharris6834]

Women's clothing needs to fix the sizing system anyway. They should be in centimetres (or inches in the US), instead of just random numbers or letters that have no consistency between stores, let alone between countries.

[@aron7111]

Same in men's clothing :P

[@joeymeade833]

YES

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

Would be nice but people feel better if you put a smaller number on things so they buy more. Yay marketing.

[@rozharris6834]

HeaveNStreams In Australia, men's pants at least are sized in cm or inches. Same with men's formal shirts. Women's, nope. :P

[@rozharris6834]

Bearlee Survivin You would think so, yet I have clothes ranging from sizes 6-12/XS-M that are all the same damn size.

[@bezerksniper5716]

Dang, I feel your pain the struggle is real.

[@ortizthetortise2013]

Im in the exact situation ! Lol there are only a few stores either plus or standard shops that carry my size 😫

[@Grayson4795]

GARNEEETTTT

[@Vampirezzz96]

I hardly ever know what size to buy. So many companies make their clothes differently that it's hard to have one set size for things.. Thank God for changing rooms! Lol

[@abbyflows1332]

[@ellamaria3252]

This is so important. My mom buys me smalls all the time and I always just crammed myself into them thinking she was right, but now that I let myself wear mediums ONLY and larges when she's not looking, I feel damn amazing. Everyone is so scared of admitting they've gone up a size but it feels so great to have clothes that actually fit.

[@Black_SoulGem]

I only wear leggings and band tees. but I usually just buy guys band tees because it's easier to just grab an XL in he guys and be happy that it fits. but girls clothes are tighter and show off everything so I don't feel comfortable wearing them.

[@darkandsweetfairy091]

The problem is that different stores have different sizes. I swear women's sizes are measured by voodoo or something, you can be a medium at one store, and a XXL at another IT SUCKS

[@juhuna3296]

i feel u 😥

[@steph1986]

+The Fairy Tale Pony Totally agree, there should be a universally agreed upon sizing standard. Even one store that has different brands everythings gonna be different.

[@szoszk]

Men too.

[@jglobetrotter2830]

Men's clothing doesn't vary as much. It's standard that when measurements are advertised there may be a 1-3 cm difference from the measurements, because of the cheap way they cut the fabric all at once. While the variance is annoying, at least they are given a range of inches/centimeters their clothing will fall into. Women's clothing doesn't have standard measurements at all, and often, if you buy online, the size chart they give just says S= x-number of inches for chest, waist, length, and the chart is the same for ALL the clothing items that store sells-- the measurements they are giving are just that store's idea of the how sizes should correlate to inches or centimeters, they actually have nothing to do with the actual measurements of the clothing.

[@Minale__]

This affects almost all women, it's so annoying. I need an XS in one store and an L in another. And it'll probably never change, because the economy makes a lot of money from our insecurities.

[@AlesSandra-by5qt]

omg i thought i was the only one. Last week I went to ZARA and I bought one top in L and another in S :D that was kinda weird because it was the same store

[@emily9183]

[@josieolderog9515]

+Fawks Murphy I think they did that to show the mothers back into the fashion world after they had to ditch it for a while 😂

[@mikoda92]

They should show small women in this video too. I'm really short and have a small frame, and I can't just shop in a regular women's store because the smallest size in the ladies department is far too big for me.

[@lilialimohammadi4177]

Same! I'm really tall and lanky and it's impossible to find things that work : / buzzfeed should try to represent more groups within their videos, since that's what they seem to be known for in a sense.

[@lilbihxxx1234]

Exactly I'm petite and skinny and the only stores I know that carry my size are H&M and Brandy Melville.

[@emmaedelmann220]

I’m also petite

[@kaylaflava]

I feel like all of those women could easily find clothes in almost any plus size shop. Most of those shops start at size 12-14. It seems more like they mentally don't want to feel like they "have" to shop at a plus size store. So I guess I just don't agree with the "in-between size" idea because they are not in-between. They are plus size. And that's okay.

[@danielle8877]

I think you have a point. there's nothing wrong with being plus size if youre healthy, just a lot of people don't want to shop there

[@Lovesickobsession19]

Eh, I work at a plus sized store, and we get a lot of women who will try a 12 which will be too big, and then we get them in a 10 (which we just started carrying) and it would be too tight. But for many others, we have sizes that will fit 14-16 (which has its own designated size at our store)

[@emilydechamplain1658]

Yes, there are plus size stores but go into one and look at prices. I can't spend $100 on a jacket or $60 for a pair of pants of $60 for a bra AS WELL as, for young plus size woman, most plus size stores cater to an older audience, meaning that as a plus size young woman, it's extremely difficult to find clothes that are in style, or that I personally like, fit me well, and aren't going to cost me between $30-$80. So yeah, there are plus size stores, but not any that are cost effective and that have good clothes. I also would like to point out the hypocrisy of men's sizing and womens. I can easily fit into a men's large, but i need to go to a XL or XXL for women's clothes. As well as men's sizing ranges (typically) up to a 5XL whereas women's runs to an XL or XXL if your lucky. It's not just about the fact that there's stores out there. Its an entire industry that makes plus size women feel out of place, and often times ashamed of themselves.

[@Izzy41630]

It depends on the store. I'm like JUST on the cusp of being over XL in regular stores, but in my local (and only) plus-sized store, the smallest size they have (1X) is absolutely just hanging off me. Of course, it all depends on the type of clothes, the cut, the material, etc. so I'm able to buy like, clingier shirts in the plus size, and looser clothes in the XL, but I absolutely feel for these women. Being at that in-between is rough. But also, yeah, plus-sized clothes are expensive, unless you shop at like, Walmart, and their plus-sized section is usually just terrible and shapeless. :P

I'm anywhere from a Med to xxl I just try to buy what's comfortable! Jeans are the worst.

[@aleenageorge1166]

Why?

[@ChoxTheMuse]

Aleena George because sometimes the brands will put a size 10 at a size 7 or 8, or sometimes a large will fit like a medium. Sometimes an xl garment will fit like an xxl... it's hard when every part of the body is a different size. =)

This made me so happy. We really do live in a society where people are so quick to judge about our physical appearance. Feeling insecure about your body & comparing yourself to others really brings down who you are. I love how the women in this video were able to realize that they can still look absolutely gorgeous even with what size they were. This is how we should act. We should not be ashamed about the numbers (or in this case, sizes) & start loving who we are.

[@chloeparker6688]

maii laiifeeh

[@spottedstar1123]

uggghhh. stores REALLY need to have a dedicated juniors department, because the smallest womens sizes they carry are too big for me (and i only sometimes find things i like), but then kids size stuff doesnt fit my shape (since obviously its made for kids and not people with a more feminine shape), and of course kids clothing is generally NOT appealing for us teens. i also hate it when a stores smallest size is a small because i generally wear xs - literally i can think of only TWO stores that actually have my size as a regular size that they carry. but nonetheless, i would take a size too big of juniors clothing over 3 sizes too big of womens clothing/unflattering kids clothing that i dont like any day

[@shelbymiller1502]

SO TRUEEE AHH

[@neverupload2802]

I'd love to be a teenager and be an XXS. I'm 14 and I'm a medium at stores like that

[@MsKassandraKotaku]

It has a lot to do with the clothes themselves. Sometimes I'm two sizes bigger and sometimes I'm two sizes smaller. There doesn't seem to be too much consistency in sizing.

[@thegoodnessness]

its why I hate clothes shopping!! ive had 2 kids, most recent was 4 months ago. my body doesnt do size it just does whatever fits... I used to be an xxs tops and pants now im pretty much m and l depending on the design and brand.

[@MayahMarie99]

It's also hard to shrink in size too, like you're at one size for so long you're afraid any other size will make you look bad.

[@a.f.6020]

I used to be a size 14, now I'm about a 4/6 so I totally get what you mean 😂😂

[@pogonavit]

Kiddo _ I used to be size 1, going up to size 5 jeans was hard due to me wanting to be impossibly thin, now I'm inching my way back to 1 in waist, but 5 in height. It's crazy. Wish there was a tall and tiny section lol.

[@ticklemelexii]

This is so true and I'm glad you guys made this video. All my life I've been an XS and now as an adult woman I have more curves and bigger hips and it's sometimes hard to accept that I'm not an XS anymore but a Medium and I sometimes feel the need to still wear small sized clothes even though I'm pretty much stuffing myself in them!

The sizes are not standardized at all, one shop I'll wear their L shirts and then in the shop next door it's XS that fits me best.

[@Kaalyn_HOW]

And the sad thing about sizes is that those XL tops and 13/15 jeans, the exact same measurements could be called a Medium and a 12 at another store. OR an XXL and a 17 at another store but we're so afraid to buy a shirt that's an "XL" bc that means "I'm extra large now". Which it doesn't. At another store, you could be a medium. Everyone thinks I'm a small or even and XS sometimes bc of my underweight build and they buy me impossibly small clothes -- but I'm really really broad. So, buying a Medium or esp a Large jacket or something can even make me go "But I can't buy that. I don't wanna be LARRRRGE." When that's not the case. My body is the EXACT same size that fits in the 2 jeans that also fits in the Large moto jacket. My body didn't change shape from when I put on the S/M top and then the weirdly-sized 9 jeans. I have 2s and 9s in my closest. My body fits in both and it didn't change to fit in them. Those numbers don't say what size my body is when it cannot be a 2 and a 9 at the same time. It's so sad how much we'll refuse to buy an item though, thinking that it means we're a different size now bc of that ONE article. ....even if we have a wardrobe full of clothes saying otherwise.

[@___Music_Is_Life___]

What we really need is for "women's clothes" to be labeled with numbers that have actual consistent logical meaning like "men's pants" are sized by waist and inseam measurements instead of the arbitrary inconsistent sizing "women's clothes" have, like I have literally been shopping and found size 12 shorts that were bigger than size 18 shorts on the same rack because they were different bands so had different sizing. What's the use of labeling clothes with sizes so people can find what fits more easily if they're so inconsistent they're practically useless.

[@ilovesparky13]

On the flipside - after you lose weight you still feel like you're the old size.

[@stellainseoul7080]

+Alex G same :) Its so comfortable

[@latenightreviewer]

I am an average sized woman, but my sizes range from small to XL depending on what brand or store I'm shopping. Ive learned to not care about the number or size and just find what looks best on me. Working a thrift store helps too, because I'll find super cute stuff that is XXL, but I style it to look oversized and comfy. I won't buy stuff that is too small for me though. I can look at a shirt and know if it will fit or not. Pants and jeans are a different story, those need to be tried just because the number range makes no sense, and I can be anywhere from 7-8 to 13-14. And again, I'm average sized. Clothing companies need to take a hint from mens sizing and make it universal, because certain brand do make women feel bigger than they are just by the number or size they put on it. Sizing should be just that: a size by measurement. Men's pants do this, why cant women's clothing?

[@kj5246]

I just buy the largest in everything bc I like it baggy. But one thing that makes me feel better, is that my pants are from a kind of plus size store, and they're the smallest size and still too big for me. But buying pants from h&m is practically imossible, since nothing goes past my butt

[@saloon241]

[@tamtamr9081]

yeah jeans sizing is ridicilous in some stores! mango for example the biggest size barely fits and im size 10!!

[@ellatron]

h&m, from what i can tell from my own experience, just straight up have smaller sizing. or maybe it's the fabric they use, or something. if i have a big lunch i might as well say goodbye to the flow of blood to my legs if i'm wearing h&m jeans, even when buying a size up. so if something doesn't fit in your normal size at h&m, don't dwell on it, it seems like most people have the same experience.

ikr. that's what I thought

[@Emmastayofftheinternet]

I'll buy whatever size fits but if it's larger than what I used to be its still going to upset me. it's not fun getting bigger and finding that a size 12 is now too small. I just wish I didn't put on weight so easily.

[@Lafalot54]

As a 4'11" 20 year old, finding clothes that fit me that are not from the kids section is sooooo difficult. Most stores don't carry an XS so I get a S even if it's too big for me, and they don't carry a size 5 in shoes, and 5 is still slightly too big for my tiny feet. #shortgirlprobs

[@alexisb5898]

I'm 5'7", finding jeans......is a struggle. Being a 11 in women's shoe and trying to find dressy shoes. Being tall and trying to find a dress without it being up your legs.

[@alexisb5898]

#tallgirlprobs

[@DusktheCuteKat]

I'm 14 (almost) and 4'11". I can never shop in the Juniors section because everything is too long for me, and the kids section clothing is always 2-4 inches too big in the waist. Ideally, I would wear something like a 1JP (Junior Petite) , but that sizing (Junior Petite) hasn't existed since the 1980's.

When nothing fits because you're constantly growing...being a teen

[@LaraAnnMarie]

+Toast Dust I'm 14 and I've practically stopped growing, your feet stop growing at 13/14 so I'm basically stocking up on shoes now, but I've ALWAYS been a 6/8 in clothes, I haven't grown much through the years, I'm 5'2 and the most I'll grow now is like 2 more inches.

[@shirindravid9233]

same, one day I might be 5'2, the next I'm apparently 5'3, I don't understand. also when ur a teen and u lose weight really fast so nothing fits....fml

[@LaraAnnMarie]

[@pogonavit]

Toast Dust I wish I could have any curves. I look like a board and anytime I gain weight I lose it so fast. I feel like most people's perfect body standards are unabtainable.

[@arianacabrera9443]

Unless you were like me and stopped growing height wise at age 12.

[@unFayemous]

I'm always a bit disappointed in myself because I get way too excited when I fit in a size smaller than expected. So much for body positivity and what not.

[@MsPiiky]

Being honest here I'm a medium size woman. But went to h&m, and forever 21 and set my mind to this: oh I'll lose weight for this and bought all the clothes that I don't even wear because I don't feel comfortable and its sad

[@Qtopian]

Im pretty slim -130 pounds, 5'8, but i have wide shoulders and even though i can fit into extra small and small, larger sizes look way more flattering on my top half. I used to hate to buy a medium or large, but im trying to proudly be comfortable with a large top!

[@cheesegirl830]

Same .

[@xJuno]

+Karlie Haradonia i have the same problem with my breasts! many clothes i like are not made for people with large breasts thats why i have to look at clothes that are (in most cases) 1-2sizes to big for my waist/hips just that they fit at the top+ i have wide shoulders too but the most annoying thing about it is that if i like a shirt that is a bit loose in my tummy i look like soo much bigger than i actually am :(

[@JustMeSilja]

+x Adrii GAAASH the struggle is real

[@kesharoseserbert12]

One of the most positive videos I've seen. Lately I noticed that I don't really fit in one concrete size, too. Having S size for tops but M or sometimes even L for bottoms is kinda tricky when I need to buy a dress that fits. So it doesn't matter if you're size S or XL because numbers does matter for no one. There are way too different body types to fit in the same size.

[@MartyBellvue]

I'm an in-between sized person and it is the single most distressing thing in my life. aside from being gay and trans and all that like oh my god i get hope when I find out forever 21 has plus size clothing all of a sudden only to find out they have a huge 2-3 inch gap between their large and their smallest plus size. i have a 40-42 inch bust, 33 inch waist and... whatever size my hips are, 45 inches maybe?

[@MiyaNoS2]

+Marty Belche I find forever21 plus sizing is a hit and miss too. The smallest 0X sometimes is too big for me and other times way too tight. It irks me that F21 doesn't have consistent sizing for their plus size and they recycle the same shape boxy shirts and pencil skirts for a lot of their pieces.

[@MartyBellvue]

+Miya No Ugh.... I just want cute clothes

[@briannahillier9425]

Forever 21 is so inconsistent and it sucks :( I have things in all of their straight sizes that fit. My measurements are 30 cm around my waist and about 40 around the largest part of my hips... it's hard for me too 😫

My style is skinny jeans that are light with dark colored shirts and sperrys or boots sometimes I wear like colored shirts and sometimes I'll wear dark skinny jeans but it's always skinny jeans my mom is super tiny and she fits in my clothes and I fit in hers she dresses in the juniors section at stores and she always looks way to much like a teenager I wish she would dress like this

[@cassied9018]

And at name brand stores like vs pink and Underarmour and Calvin Klein and Michael kors she will literally get the same item as me in a different color and she sorta follows the way I dress it's like she's my twin except she's got long blonde hair were the same size it's so annoying to me

[@cassied9018]

[@georginajackson2054]

all of these women look beautiful

[@erinfischer4560]

I really wish sizes were more standard. Like, at one store I'm an XL, another I'm a 3XL, and with vanity sizing at like Torrid and Maurice's it's like okay, well I think I'm a... 2? And if I want something to be loose it's like trying to a whole new life cause sweaters don't come oversized for people who are already oversized unless you like, go to the men's section or a specialty shop.

[@thematchkookieisholdingins5542]

I don't fit in any clothes. I always have to choose between too short and too baggy. I never wear tight things, because tight doesn't exist for me. The super skinny jeans are normal jeans and the tops that are long enough are twice as big as me.

[@SableMelody]

I'm one of those ladies that are in between the biggest 'normal' size and the smallest plus size... but i learned to try everything from medium to xxl and i learned what shape of clothes works for me just by looking at them cause every store has a different idea of what a large or a size 14 is.. the other day i was at an old navy and size 12 was huge on me, then i stepped into an h&m and 12 fit nicely for one pair of shorts but the other pair (also h&m, also 12) was too tight.. so numbers and sizes mean nothing really, cause every item of clothing is made different and each and every person is made different too

[@jessiem6694]

Yeah I know what you mean some of old navy's pants aren't made the same so one pair of 12's would fit but others may not and the same with shirts. I have broad shoulders and wide-ish hips... so like you it's what fits. Sears is the store I tend to go to.

[@jessiem6694]

+jessiem6694 *that matters

[@kalliste01]

+Glosso I'm also in the biggest normal/smallest plus size and I've found some stores (Target here - Australia - for example) has different sizing for their biggest normal size and their smallest plus size even though they both have the same number on it... it's quite frustrating if even the same store doesn't have clothes that are sized all the same.

[@emmykreft]

I hate that these women say that they are too big for normal fashion when I think the look pretty normal sized

[@Swaggles1228]

Most women look normal sized, yes, but normal fashion completely disregards different body types and makes it hard for them to fit in to most straight sizes. I look pretty average, but stores like American Eagle and H&M don't cater to the average woman, so whenever I shop there I end up buying things that are either too small or just look plain awkward. Especially with pants. When you have hips and most stores only go up to a size 10, it's easy to see why they don't feel like they fit the "straight size" criteria.

[@thentherewastasha133]

+Rory Potato sorry this is a bit nit picky but you mentioned American eagle, and i have to say that despite not going above certain sizes, they are my favorite for jeans as they actually fit me due to the stretchiness. My waist is a size 6 or 8 but in order to fit in most jean brands i have to wear larger sizes because so many are way too tight on my thighs and hips, then they're too big in the waist and are uncomfortable. I think its hard for any women to find sizes that fit them because all stores do proportions differently, plus society making it seem anyone over a certain size is too fat, and another size is too skinny. Shopping is a nightmare because you really have to search a ton of stores and brands for some good fitting clothing. One store I'm a large, another I'm a medium, my best fitting dress is a small from old navy, and some expensive brands I have to wear xl to even feel comfortable. I'm starting to think 'straight sizing' doesn't fit anyone.

[@Smathoo]

Not healthy.

[@emmax8333]

US sizes sound a lot smaller than UK sizes. Here none of those women would be classed as XL and all those sizes are sold in stores. What even.

[@TheTyThang]

even though you may be a small in some stores , it varies from style & store 😊 so even though it may look small on the clothing hanger , there's a chance it pay fit to compliment your body .

[@srta.pufferfish]

I feel this...I'm like a larger 12 but not quite a 14...but at some stores a 12 is wayyyyy too small.. Love this! They all look gorgeous.

[@MsHaleyDawn]

It took a long time, but I slowly came to accept that the clothing size is arbitrary as long as the piece of clothing fits me well. The stylist is right, get past the number. My family doesn't believe me when I tell them what size I wear (like at Christmas time for gifts). Because I buy what fits me without concern of the size tag I look smaller. Bathing suits though...still working on that. I'd rather stab myself in the eye than try on swim wear. Tank top and shorts for me at the beach. LOL
