'Sleeper'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
But LOTS of places must do this with less wildly disparate sizing.
My guess is the cheaper the place, the taller the stack of fabric, the greater the sizing disparity.
Cheaper because they don't pay that well. Not only the height of the stack of fabric, but the skill of the person cutting it. I imagine they have a high turnover, and very poor quality control.
Jessica, are they all the same style? Because I've noticed that the sizing also varies hugely style to style.
Not exactly, no -- one has the ginormous panel, and two just have a regular elastic waistband. And I think the jeans are cut differently than their other pants.
They all fit, just...very differently. I have to say I'm surprised at how much I like the ginormous panel-pants. They're ridiculous, but they're so comfy!
Not to go all ita on your argument, Jesse, but Target which is somewhat cheaper, seems to not have the same issues as Old Navy. Old Navy is the worst when it comes to sizing. Which doesn't make me stop shopping there as I loves me some $4.99 clearance jeans.
Yeah, I was thinking about Target as I was typing. I dunno.
I am hugely resistant to the ginormous panel-pants, yet I concur. They are ridiculously comfortable. I have some that I got from Burrell. I do like the under-the-belly ones though as I can and do wear them with regular shirts. And I have several regular pants that I wear unbuttoned and occasionally unzipped with what is essentially a tube top covering the gap.
Sigh.
In reality, I just wear a lot of drawstring yoga pants and pajama pants.
I kinda want to write to old navy and ask if they are on crack when it comes to sizing?
Is $11 a representative price for gimlets?
Seems about right, maybe a little expensive to me. But then, I order Grey Goose, and I live in DC. I expect to pay between $8-$10, depending on the percieved chi-chi-ness of the bar.

If you decide to go that route, Kat, please mention my t-shirt issue.
HA!
Dear Old Navy,
1. What's up with your sizing-on-crack? How can the exact same style vary so widely within the same size? Can you please explain how that happens?
2. What's up with every shirt being 10 inches longer than necessary?
Thanks,
eta just sent it!
I can't believe Old Navy is so brazen that they just pin their clothes to the mannequins to simulate actual tailoring or fittedness. They don't fit like that!
bon, there are SO MANY stores that do that. Here's a hint.... buy models that are "size X", and then put size X clothes on it. Gah.
