I just noticed something odd today. I put on a pair of 16W pants -- the waist fit because it's partially elastic but the hips were gigantic. I wore them anyway because I had nothing else ready to wear.

But this means --- I am not a WOMAN any more -- I am a MISS!! I think even the 14W would be baggy in the butt!! Woohoo!! The misses 16 fits perfectly. And at the ripe age of 51, being called a miss instead of a woman can never hurt!
