I am in the same boat. According to "the chart"...I would be an xx small. NO WAY...I wear a 4p or 6p in a B&M store. I might add, I am 4'10".
I "think" the w stands for "women". di

The w does stand for womens, a plus size. So, there is a difference between an 18/20 and 18w/20w. Ones a plus size and the other, I guess, isn't considered a plus size. Just like an XL is different than an 1X, and sometimes an XXL is different than a 2X. 🙄(me being frustrated!)

A search for petite items will help, then you can also select a brand. They are out there.
A wonderful thing about QVC is the garment measurement drop-down. Wish more sites did that.
