Lane bryant Jean size question

**loosin4TX** · March 17th, 2008, 11:19 AM

The real woman jeans or whatever they call them that are sized 1-8 in red, blue or yellow. Anyone know what the number is equal to? I was wearing a size 5 and now after 2 months on phen I am wearing a 3, but not sure what size that really is. Anyone???

I think it is just bigger sizes without having to put your real size! The color is body shape. I love my Lane Bryant jeans! You are doing great..Keep up the good work!!!

Well I can answer this, I used to work at LB for about 5 years....

Size-----------Real Size
1----------------14
2 ---------------16
3----------------18
4 --------------- 20
5---------------- 22
6-----------------24
7---------------- 26
8---------------- 28

So you went from a size 22 to an 18. Whooo Hooo, you go girl!!!!!!

BronzyBella, can you explain the whole color thing? I'd wondered about their sizing before... but I don't actually own a pair of Lane Bryant jeans. I used to wear them all the time back in the 90's, but everything is different now.
