They're true to size, but are mostly made to be formfitting. So if you don't want formfitting, go bigger or try another maker.

Yep, small. I sometimes have had to buy tops in size Large, when other stores I'm usually a small, sometimes medium. The pants have not seemed to be like that, so I wouldn't be sure all their clothes will be the same.

If you order anything from the catalog other than the Pink line it should be true to size. If it is Pink they run super small.

They seem pretty true to size to me with the exception of the Pink line which does run small. I saw that someone mentioned the pants run long and that is very true. I am 6ft tall and the 32 actually go to my ankles and I typically wear a 34 for something to run just past my ankle or 36 for a bit longer pant size.

In short, they all fit pretty tight and that is the goal. I find that right after having kids I buy a bit bigger so I don't have the clothes cling to trouble spots.

Good luck!

I think the run pretty small, actually. I wear an xsmall in juniors. I can wear an xsmall in their clothing, but their sizes aren't junior sizing. So...I'd say if you wear a small in misses, you might try for a medium from VS.

I've always found them to run true to size. However I would like to pretend they run small. ; )

The two major places I shop for clothes are Victoria's Secret and JC Penney. I wear the same pants size in both stores (Misses at JCP). I get the Worthington slacks and wear the same size in Victoria's Secret jeans. I find that any pants they have with stretch in them (jeans or corduroy) run true to size, but the less stretchy pants or slacks run a bit small at VS.

Their underwear is true to size but their bras run a tiny bit small (you can get fitted in the store).

Their pajamas run true to size for the most part--I usually end up buying mediums but bought a small last year (I think it was a "Pillowtalk" pajama--pants and button-up top) and it is rather saggy on me--the pants are very loose on the waist. I still usually order the mediums anyway.

For tops they are mostly true to size/slightly small. Anything fitted or stretchy you might want to size up. I was wearing a small/medium (6) in tops at JCP last year (pre-baby) and wearing mostly medium VS tops for their t-shirts. I bought larges for early pregnancy and to wear after while nursing. If you are busty, size up on the tops no matter your shirt size. I'm a 34D (not pregnant/nursing) and was sometimes better off in the Mediums or Larges for their tops.

Good luck. They are easy about returns. :)

Well, I'm 5ft 5/ 5ft 6-ish and the pants always seem too long on me, I step on them a lot! Otherwise, besides the Pink line which seems to be smaller, I think they fit pretty true to size, taking into account they are meant to be "snug".

The tops that I have ordered seem to run small. I'm not sure though if they run small or are just suppose to be that tight when you put them on. :)
