Across different brands — and sometimes, even within the same brand — the actual measurement in inches of, say, a pair of jeans may not be the same measurement for another brand’s jeans in the same size. Even among plus-size brands. To prove it, we looked at 14 different brands that carry plus sizes to show the range of measurements for the same size. In this case, we looked at the hip and waist measurements for jeans in a size 18 across these different brands and plotted them on a chart. (Where brands didn’t list 18, we went with 2X, or whatever the equivalent of an 18 is for those brands.) Here’s what we found: Zara isn’t too far behind, but we’ve already revealed how up and this brand’s plus-size offerings can be. Forever 21’s size-18 measurements clock in at 52" hip, 42" waist — the largest of all the brands we examined, but only an inch larger than plus-size stalwarts ASOS, Torrid, and Eloquii. If men’s fashion treats its customers like individuals, where no two are exactly alike, maybe it’s time for women’s fashion to do the same?
