Some other general rules for sizing these items include:

A women’s size garment is cut more generously in the waist, hips, and bottom, making it more generously proportioned in these areas than its misses’ size counterpart.The bust difference between misses’ plus size clothing and corresponding women’s sizes is smaller, although women’s sizes may run fuller.  The exact difference depends on the manufacturer.Pants or jeans in women’s sizes may also have a taller rise than those with misses’ sizing.Where the X Sizes Fit In

X sizes, such as XL, XXL or 2X, encompass more than one numerical size.  You’ll almost always find this system in knitwear and other relaxed fits, since it doesn’t offer the exact dimensions required for tailored pieces.  For instance, a woven dress or business suit will usually feature a misses’ or women’s size, while a sweater or a pair of pajama pants usually uses the X size.

An XL is usually equivalent to a 1X and an XXL is like a 2X. In brands that carry a 0X, it usually falls between a Large and Extra Large, but will often have the more generous hip proportions of a women’s size item.
