Before You Shop: Junior Plus Size vs. Woman’s Plus Size

I have a lot of these questions:

What is the difference between Junior Plus and Plus Size clothing?

Why do sizing wear plus size clothes?

With the advent of many online boutiques, retailers and brands releasing fast fashion at the prices and styles we love, there are sizing questions, frustration and confusion.

Junior plus size?

yes. The first was created to fill the gaps in young plus size teens left without the fashionable options.

oh?

Now, Junior Plus Sizes are traditionally cut small through the waist and bust, but due to the elements of fast fashion and the fit of body consciousness, many of us are drawn to these stores.

“Why is this shop triple the size?”

“Their sizes are really off.”

“They need to fix their sizing.”

In many cases (Not all) Many of the fast fashion and junior plus size divisions fit different sized charts compared to traditional plus size fashion. This does not mean that all fashion forward items are cut with Junior Plus. It means there’s a new fit that’s creating a bit of confusion and frustration…

Let me take it apart further…

First of all, junior plus sizing is labeled like traditional plus sizes such as 1x, 2x, and 3x. You may also see odd sizes from 15 or 17 on numbered charts. Due to changes in fit and sizing, Junior Plus sizes tend to be smaller by 1-2 sizes. For example, a women’s plus size 3x dress equals size 24, while a junior plus 3x dress could equal size 20 or 22. Do you see the confusion?

eBay Notes, “A good rule of thumb once was trendy styles, and junior plus sizes were more likely. However, because the plus size market is generally modern and trend-conscious, this guidelines have stopped working consistently.”

Currently, women in their 20s and 30s buy Junior Plus clothes, so it’s important to note the difference between the two. There are more retailers as brands are paying attention to this purchasing pattern ASOS curveThe junior plus cut look and feel provides these bodily awareness, but traditional plus size sizing.
