The misses sizes are for a more mature frame while the juniors are basically for teens and very young women.

Yes truly.
I am very pear shaped... almost all my weight is in my hips, lower stomach/butt and thighs. I wear a 12 or a 14 in misses depending on the cut. I find the waist-hip ratio in juniors pants just doesn't fit me right... usually a 13 in misses is a little too big in the waist but the hips fit nice, and an 11 is usually way too small in the hips but the waist fits. They are sized for kids with narrower hips I think, definitely not pear-friendly  . |
