Girls Vs. Juniors Vs. Women's (Misses) Sizing

Juniors
sizing runs larger then Girls (7-16) sizing but smaller then Women's sizing. A
girls size 16 is NOT a Juniors size 16! And a Women’s 10 is NOT a Juniors 10!
First of all, Girls sizes are marketed for young girls, usually pre-teens
(usually size 7-16). Juniors are marketed for the teens and usually are styled
for a body conscious fit, fitting tighter around the curves (usually run in odd
sizes only from 1-15). Women’s or Misses sizes are for those looking for a clean
look, not quite as tight fitting as the Juniors clothing (usually run in even
size from 2-16).
It is hard to compare sizes due to fluctuation in different brands,
but usually a young girl that can wear a Girls size 16 MAY be able
to also wear a Juniors size 3 or 5. That same girl probably can't
wear any size in Women's sizing.
Also, a teenaged girl that wears a Juniors size 15 MAY be able to
wear a Women's size 10 or 12, but will not be able to wear anything
sized in a Girls sizing.
I recommend
googling (searching the internet itself) by the brand you are interested in. If
you find the brand at a store website, it will usually have the brand in the
correct location. For example, if you normally wear a Misses size 12 and are
looking at a brand called GLO Jeans in a size 13. I recommend searching for GLO
jeans on a search engine. When looking at your search results, you will notice
that almost every site mentions "teen" or "juniors" and a couple say "kid". The
ABOUT GLO link on the Glo Jeans website itself says that they are manufactured
for the Juniors size group. That tells you that as a 12 Misses, these
jeans would not work for you.
