[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD went from a 14 up to a women's 4. [/quote]

When I was 19 and worked as a camp counselor, I wore a women’s 0 or 2 and could wear some of my campers clothes in size 12.  I weighed 100lbs - not curvy,  just to give you an idea of size equivalence. So I would think that a 14 would be a 2-4 (juniors size 1-3) depending on body type.[/quote]

+1. When I was in my 20's, I could wear size 12-14 in kids. At that time, that would be 0-2 in women's sizes, depending on the brand. Beware size inflation. Back before I got chubby (thanks to kids and my laziness), I was seriously in danger of being sized out of women's clothes. I'm short and only certain brands maintained their size dimensions.[/quote]

Soooo if a 12 is around size 2; 14 is about a size 4; a girl's 16 would be about a 6; and a girl that was too big for a 16 would be in the next size up, ergo women's 8. Which is a small women's size.

Also -- if you were adults in and these sizes, I'm imagining you are on the small end of the bell curve, no? [/quote]
