same as Jr's 13? (wierd that they dont have the same sizes, so confuseing)
 
also know it isnt disney but to me it is lol i need these before i go lol and i fill so behind on knowing what im buying shorts or shirts lol
 
If you can see a sizing guide on the web sites that you are planning on making purchases from, that is most ideal, otherwise, I would call the sites customer service web site phone number and ask.
There is normally a difference in size between Juniors and Misses, Misses, is a tad bit larger in comparison, or should be anyway. A size 13 is Juniors, 14 is Misses, a 14 W would be a larger (supposedly) cut, and the W denotes Woman, anyway, if one fits normally into a misses 14, a 13 Junior might work, might not, for Junior sizing can be cut awfully small, that is why it is so important to see what the actuall measurements are for a particular size. Every manafacturer, has different patterns, and sizing guides, and even then, you can have the very same top for example, same size, brand, color, everything, but yet, when you try the first top on, it is a bit too small or large, you try the second one on, and it fits perfectly.(we need universal clothing sizing seriously!)
You see, I am the kind of person that will go into a shop,look at the clothing (not always, but pretty close ;) ) and hold a shirt up, for example and say to the sales person, and or other customers, does this really look like an XXL? and the response is either, well that is a junior sizing, or no, or it is junior, but even for that size, it is small. The whole sizing issue is a big pet peeve of mine, when I went to W of Disney store last week, I saw a top that had a label that read 3 x, I took a good look at it, and then became irritated, because believe me, it was not! and then asked a CM about the sizing and she agreed that the label was so not correct, so we are both standing there, while I am holding this tiny so called larger size up, (and ready to set fire to it ) o.k. not, but give me a break man! anyway, so we just shake our head in disgust and disbelief. It was not a junior size either, you know that is something that I just love about tiny clothing, cannot fit into it, so I save all kinds of money! ;) he he! of course when it comes to ironing larger clothing it really does take longer, incomparison to the size 1 or 0 that has a shirt to do the same thing to! I just hope that I don't become so humongo, that it will take me an entire day,to iron one simple shirt! (insert hair raising smilie here)
OMG! what was the topic again? I am joking............ (great big sigh)
 
The PP is humorous about the Disney shirt that was smaller than the size on the label. Have you ever ordered a swimsuit from Disneyshopping.com? They are actually a couple sizes LARGER than what is on the label! Definitely measure and match to the particular site's sizes!
 

The thing to remember about Junior sizing is that they do not allow for a wider hip. Think boy-cut. Junior is about the shape you had before you really got hips. I would say a Junior 13 is more like a Misses 10, depending on the cut. Back in the 80s, it was a Misses 12/14 - not anymore.
 
The whole sizing issue is just insane! I remember in the past, wearing jeans that were marked size 13/14, and the fit was fine, but not always, for sometimes the sizing leaned more to the 13 than the 14, in which case, either I had to work on that zipper or break down and buy a larger size. :(
 
hum well i dont even know if walmart has a sizeing chart ill have to go look i dont even know where i got these misses shorts. but im gona look at other pants i have ok one jrs skirt i have is 11 and just a tad to tight so jr 13 might actuely fit. jr 15 for sure would fit.
i have two misses 14 pants wow whered they come from lol

well ty guys i think im gona order these and hope they fit.
 
Some of those were cute. I bookmarked the site. I'm going on a Vegas trip w/ my friends next month, and haven't ordered any new clothes yet. These might work!
 
well im just useing the sizeing chart i got my clothe from walmart but hay i was happy when found out id fit hehe ty all sorry again for off topic
 
If you can find a place like Walmart where you can do returns without shipping them back (return them to the store for free), what I often do when ordering online is order two sizes and take back the one that does not fit.

I did this with shoes at REI and had no problems. Glad I did--the size that I thought would fit did not.

Just an idea.
