Womanwithin site need advice.

Post by Cindy Louise »

Hi girls,

I was browsing the site and found several outfits I like. However I don''t know how their sizing runs. I wear a 2x usually but before I order I would like to know if their sizing is generous or skimpy. With my wife not knowing about Cindy returning things could be a problem.

Can anyone help out here?

Love and thanks,
CL.

I gave mail ordering away for clothes mainly the sizing just varies so much, take the courage and go into a women's shop pick out the items that you like and try them on for size, can a lot of time, expense in postage. and mucking about.

The 1st time that you do this it can be a little intimating, but it gets easier as the number of visit increase.

I was in Target the otherday checking out panties, and nighties, when a SA came up and asked did I need any help. I said I had found what I needed, and she said if there is any thing else that I required she was only to pleased to help. =D> =D>
Keeping them cupped comfortably.

I buy from shops and from catalogs -- new port news, chadwicks, soft surroundings, and women within to name a few.

I find women within to run pretty true, to very slight forgiving -- almost like the difference between 16 and 16w --- more forging in the waist area than some others.

With all of them, I look at their sizing charts --suprising how they can vary.

Good luck!

Womanwithin sizing is pretty much spot on to just a bit generous. Their tops and pants are good, their gowns are nice and flattering, and their night and casual wear are properly sized. Pretty much what you see is what you get.

Just My Size is another good brand that is well sized to slightly generous, and good whether you buy online or in Wally's Wonderful World (WalMart).
I think that Woman Within tends to be just a bit nicer in the nice things, but JMS has some nice casual stuff.

Good luck.

Thanks for the help girls. Pat, it's a bit difficult shopping as both my wife and I are retired and do all our shopping together. For me mail order is easier. When I was single I did all my shopping in the stores---those were the days.

Thanks again.

Love
CL
