Womens "vanity sizing" has gotten totally carried away over the past 30 years making size charts basically useless, not worth the pixels they are rendered on. I still have in my closet size 12's I can barely squeeze into yet almost all the slacks I recently purchased are size 6! Same for dresses. Even S/M/L is more like mens sizing a few years back. Mens are now super-sized with even smalls swimming on me.

Best advice to save time is bring along a small dollar store keychain tape measure. Takes 4 seconds to measure the waist. It saves a lot of trips to the dressing room.

hmm sounds like good advice ^^, and yeah I looked at other places I'm either a 6 or a 7/8 typically wear 28-29 mens most of the time but my weight/wasteline drop suddenly sometimes. ( depression is a B****)

pretty

I don't know, I found my size to be pretty consistently accurate, 4-6 in women's and 5-7 in junior's and never had too many problems with fit  :)

Except the inseam being too long  :-\ definitely a good idea to try them on

Though with European sizes it can be confusing... all the conversion charts I find say a 6 is like a 34 in EU sizes but these ones I got from anoname are 28 and fit just right...
