This is a super oddly specific question and I apologize, but I am new to Lulu and would love some insight if anyone has any idea.

I fell in love with the Ribbed Softstreme Flared Pant Regular, in the colour espresso but it’s all sold out in Canada in sizes 4-8!

I tried on a size 4 in store in a different colour and it was a pretty good fit. They only had size 0 and 2 in stock so I decided to just buy a 2 and risk it because I loved it so much, but unfortunately it has come and while I can get it on, it’s way too tight. You can see my underwear lines and it’s hard to get up.

Now, I found a woman in my city selling these pants with the tag on them!!! But they are a size 8. I wear size 6 in WTs so I would absolutely love any advice you guys had on whether an 8 would work?! Obviously these kinds of pants are much looser than tight leggings so I don’t know if the sizes are directly convertible, and I have never bought any other style of pants from lulu.

Does anyone have any insight? How much do sizes vary from different pants styles? Do those of you that buy both leggings and other types of pants buy the same sizes, or size down/up?
