I ordered a pair of slim fit pants from J.C. Penney, size 4, Worthington brand. They arrived and they are swimming on me. They are at least 2 sizes too big.
I wear a 4 at Gap, Banana Republic, J. Crew, and a 6 at Old Navy, Ann Taylor and Urban Outfitters in some cuts, 4 in others. Target's Merona 4 is sometimes too big for me but I can usually shrink them down to a comfy fit with a good hot wash and high heat tumble dry session.
Size 4 is the SMALLEST size that they sell in this pant. It doesn't come any smaller than that. So I can't even return it and get a smaller size. WTH.
When I was shopping last time, I tried on a pair of pants the limited in my normal size 8. They were too big and I ended up getting a size 6 (I'm ALWAYS a size 8, so that was odd). I then tried another pair of pants in a different style. They were too small in an 8!!!! Sizing is horrible.

Awww...poor baby! My heart breaks for you! NOT! (Sorry to seem so sarcastic, but really....is this worth complaining about?)
I've always been jealous of men's sizes. Not that they're perfect, but choosing pants by waist size and inseam length seems so much easier than being faced with some arbitrary number that doesn't work.

Um...I used to weigh over 250 lbs so I've had experience at the other end of the spectrum of clothes not fitting as well. I think I've earned the right to complain about clothing being too BIG. And yes, not being able to find clothes that fit on both ends of the spectrum is something to complain about. You can't go through life naked.

I wish I could drum up some sympathy for your size 4 being too big, but I can't.
Seriously though, you are so on target about womens sizes. You can't even find consistency at one store, and you can't even trust a store's own size charts. It's ridiculous. Why can't we have sizing like men; waist, inseam, tall, short, etc?
Are you under 5'5'' & strait/athletic hipped ? Worthington is very adult women cut. (generous in the bust and hips) If you are even around 5'5'' try the petite Worthington stuff. They have smaller pants than those. There are certain brands that are just always cut way to big in areas that make them swim on me too. I can wear Worthington coats, but not the clothing.
