I'm so used to a 6P in Isaac's pants that I don't know if I dare order a 6P in Levi's, or should I size up? I know the Q's sizes usually run big. Any suggestions? I have a 36-37 hip. TY Ladies.

I've worked in Apparel so I need some further clarification in order to help.
Are you looking to buy Levis in Missy or Juniors? The latter runs smaller. Either way, Q's sizing runs large. I'm normally a size 5/6 but I'm an XXS on QVC, which would be a size 0/2 in other brands.
I suggest you compare the measurements of Isaac's 6P to the size chart of the pants you are interested in to get a better idea.
For example, I have a 39-40" hip and I wear a size 5 in Levis' Junior. However, Junior's has a different sizing than Missy so most likely I would be a 6/8. Hope that helps. Just compare both size charts.

I was thinking missy 6p, but maybe I should try a 5 too. Thanks for the info.

I agree with NYC Vixen that comparing actual measurements is key. But I would offer that you might also want to check the fabric content. Isaac's pants have quite a bit of spandex which gives that killer fit but may make B&M sizes feel less forgiving. I think Isaac's numerical sizes are closer to store sizes than QVC's signature house brands like D&C.

@islandgrrl Makes an important point.
For example, Gap also like the Q has vanity sizing. If a skirt or pant has stretch I need a size 4 and if it does not I need a 6. Only in Gap and QVC do I need an XXS. That means a real size 0/2 cannot fit into an XXS.
@samzmom So the million dollar question is whether QVC's sizing runs larger or smaller than Missy sizing. I would think that it might run larger. Please report back and kindly let us know. In that case, a Missy 6P might fit you as you surmise.

I too run between 4 and 6 depending on different factors, i.e. fabrication, cut, etc..
Call me crazy but I seem to be finding that pant sizes, on the shopping channels, seem to run truer to real sizes (B & M) than the tops...I think checking the actual measurements of the garment is your best bet. Checking the size doesn't mean much when this solid 4 fits into many '0-2' offered (with room to spare). I feel for the true 0s!
