Between sizes? Wwyd?

[Anonymous]

Ordered some new summer clothes. All of my old summer pants and shorts are just a little too big (look like I’m wearing a diaper in the front but fit in waist and butt) and everything a size down is way too tight. How is this possible? What should I do? Keep trying?

Go in person and try on stuff until you find what works

I’ve been doing that and no matter where I try, I’m between sizes. So at this point, I have a month probably until I will wear the stuff. I will hopefully have lost a little more in that time. Do I just keep the smaller stuff?

I wouldn’t keep “wish” clothing. It could be another six months and you’ll have different taste, plus it will be colder.

You could buy the baggy size and get it altered.

Wear dresses instead

Agree with wearing dresses. Also, I adjust the styles. Something with a slimmer fit, in the larger size, may be better, or the smaller size but with a looser fit can work. I am also losing weight and find myself between sizes. Personally I don’t trust the weight loss and don’t want to invest in a lot of new clothes that may be temporary, so I continue wearing my baggy clothes except for very specific needs (like upcoming high school graduation for DC — will buy a new outfit for that).

I’ve dropped 2-3 sizes over the last year. I just keep buying a size down of some key basics (anyone need J crew Kate pants in a range of sizes?). Wear a belt on loose stuff. Try different styles and different brands.

If it fits in the waist and butt, the size fits. It's just the cut doesn't work for you anymore. Try different styles until you find one you like.

Buy dresses for the summer.

I've lost weight recently and I bought a few belts. I'll probably pick up some stretchy shorts for this summer also.

Safety pins on the sides, blousy tops and or camis with short jackets that hide the safety pins on each hip

Dresses and loose pants. That is mostly what I'm doing right now. For jeans they make removable/replacement button pins that work really well; I buy them from amazon and just wear my jeans baggy with that button + a belt to cover. Most look fine except those that really need to be formfitting, which I'll replace later on.
