Lapalabrasinfin Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Hello, I'm a short girl (5"24 or 1.60 meters) and my old 100% cotton garments are worn out after 4 years of use ( I bought them on the day I took my endowments and never replaced them) but now, due to use and other issues with 100% I need to buy all my g's again. Here's the thing: I bought a pair of drysilke (sp) with in regular size (24) and they are HUGE. I don't know what's wrong, my body is the same and to be fair, I don't want to spend a lot in wrong fitted g's. PLEASE HELP. Did the sizing when odd? Should I use size 22 now? My D.C is helpless and I'm a convert so my mom can't do much...PS: I'm from Latin America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leah Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Sizing varies depending on the material and changes in sizing happen from time to time. All of that information is available at the distribution center and it is also available on LDS.org. In the church materials section, go to the section for ordering garments and there will be detailed information on sizing for each kind of material.

Lapalabrasinfin Posted February 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 I did. Problem remains... I bought my regular size, too big. =( Have any of you experienced this recently?And sizes vary from U.S and Latin America... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
char713 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Look at the sizing charts available on the lds.org shop, there are individual ones for each different type of fabric and shape and everything. I was just looking this morning, it seems they have really updated the sizing formats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lapalabrasinfin Posted February 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 That's awesome, but I need some... practical advice... U.S sizes don't apply here and the people at the D.C has zero clue on sizes. I tried on Saturday and a sister told me "It's a matter of luck"....Question: should I go for size 22 instead of 24, given the fact that 24 is now like a double me?

char713 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Again this is why I say, look at the sizing charts on the lds.org site. They run off of inches or centimeters, not any pre-designated sizes. Leah and Backroads 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just don't seem to be comprehending what we are telling you.The sizes aren't U.S. Sizes. They are sizes set by the church as the church is the manufacturer.If it has been a while since you bought garments, your old size may not apply as sizing and numbering change from time to time. As has been previously mentioned.The ladies at the distribution center are trained in selling garments, including the materials, sizing and any changes. There also should be sizing charts readily accessible to you at the distribution center. Have you looked for those?As has been already stated, the church website has all of this information right there in the section where you order garments. Take your measurements and read the sizing charts. Read the one for the specific type of material you want to buy. Sizing will vary for the different materials, so this step is important.No one here can tell you what size to buy. Take your measurements and consult the sizing charts. That will tell you what size in that particular garment you should get.There is really no other information to give you. You gotta do the work. char713 and Backroads 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted_Fairytales Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Ignore the sizing chart, they always come up at least 2 sizes too big. I'd go for a 20!petite and see how you get on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omegaseamaster75 Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Hello, I'm a short girl (5"24 or 1.60 meters) and my old 100% cotton garments are worn out after 4 years of use For starters 4 years...that's gross. but like others have said, you can't relate American sizes to sizes in Latin america, a womens 22 is a tent.... Look on the conversion chart and get one size smaller... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vort Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 For starters 4 years...that's grossI think my very best pair of garments might be only four years old. The others are much older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
