Does anyone know clothing sizes?

I'm about to scream! :help:

I went last night to buy a new pair of slacks. I had bought a pair last week in a 16W, and they fit too loose. However, a regular 16, while they go all the way up and zip, wouldn't be practical because I can't sit down!

Honestly, it didn't occur to me to try a 14W (primarily because they didn't have a 14W in this particular slack).

So there are regular sizes (14, 16, 18, etc), and women's sizes (14W, 16W, 18W, etc.) and there are junior sizes (11, 13, 15, etc.)

For the time being, let's exclude the junior sizes because at 51, most of them are too young for me, no matter how young I look or act!

But what is the difference between a woman's size and a Misses size? Or is Misses the regular size?

I've been shopping in the Plus sizes for so long, I just don't "get it"!!
