TRYING ON DIFFERENT SIZES AT GAP
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 окт 2024
- Today we're back inside the fitting room...trying on different sizes at GAP! This was a highly recommended store based on their inclusive sizing (which is mostly, unfortunately, only available online). As a size 14, #midsize body, finding a good fitting pair of jeans can be stressful so I went to the Gap and did some investigating for myself! ENJOY LOVE U AND REMEMBER SIZE DOESNT MEAN SH*T XO

Whenever I’m unsure of my size, I always start by trying on the bigger size, just because it makes me feel better if I can size down- and if the larger size fits, I don’t have the experience of trying on something too small.
Nila McGinnis I do this too!! I find my shopping experiences to be way better since I started doing this
Me too 😂
When you turned around in those white jeans I was like DANGG CARRIE. You got cake 🍰
THATS WHAT I SAID!!!!
Hey Carrie, could you do a video trying on sizes at Zara? They seem to have amped up their denim range!
Virginia A. PLEASE: I’d love to see what Carrie would think of their sizing
Zara sizing is different than American one. She should size up in Zara.
YES!
Ummm...I just about fell on the floor when you said how much that last pair of jeans cost. ...WHAT?! That's insane!
Yes, please! Do a thrift flip! You could even customize the paint color!
Just know for every few employees being bitchy, there’s almost 350,000 people appreciating you. I love these kind of videos because they help me get over the anxiety of sizing
GAP has sales ALL THE TIME. Wait until it’s 40% off and then get the expensive jeans! I never buy them full price
Online! I shop Old Navy a lot and have told people to just get them online as there is usually a couple available. American Eagle often does too
no one:
Carrie: THE gap
I love when people say the Gap, it just adds something interesting. Go Carrie 😂
It’s definitely a southern thing 😂 I live in Kentucky and so many people put “the” in front of places
Nah that's technically their real name, they just dropped "the" in the logo because it looks better I guess lmao. I used to work there
@@xoxonyc100 I'm from (still reside) in South Carolina, and many people put "the" in front of words here as well.
Leah Rose true. Fall into the Gap 😂
you're literally my favorite youtuber to watch, anytime im having a little anxiety or anything like that i just come to your channel and it helps so much. LOVE you
Same!
Me too! Carrie is the besttt😍
omg literally me..just got done crying and saw she uploaded and immediately my day got better lol
Ima cry ❤️ily
I love letting Carrie try stores for me since we basically have the exact same body😂♥️
Same
Me too!❤️
Girl same 😂
Totally agree with you
“We don’t carry larger sizes in store bc no one buys them”
NO! No one buys them in store bc you don’t carry them!!
Carrie: “I can’t justify paying this much for jeans”
Also Carrie: owns Good American jeans
that shrunk in the wash :(
I was thinking this every time she said that😂 gave me a good giggle
Right?! 😂😂 Also Madewell Jeans.
Hannah Whitaker lol yeah because they fit very well (before they shrunk) and same with the madewell jeans. They fit good enough to make it worth it. These Gap jeans aren’t worth it for her to spend that much...
I GOT THEM ON SALE HANNAH LOL
I find the 1969 jeans at the thrift store all the time. Keep a look out for them. I am wearing a pair today and spent 3.50 on them
They might have a similar look and style but that specific cut was very flattering. Not all jeans are created equal.
I’ve bought gap jeans at the thrift too! Mine were like $6.99 which is somewhat standard for jeans at the thrift but they were like new so I didn’t mind
bitch how lol i nvr fine mom jeans at my thrift store
@@MelB868 no that is the style they call them 1969
Love these videos! Never buy Gap at full price, they always have 40-60% off sales!!
Have you tried Levi’s 721 high rise skinny jeans? I’m the same height and size as you. In Levi’s I wear a size 32 (14). They really compliment the good parts of my body. The quality is amazing and they’re worth the price. Try them if you haven’t yet. 🙏🏻
Hope Liston Levi’s has become the brand I don’t feel guilty spending money on bc their sizing is so consistent and they have such a wide range of sizes. Also the quality is great! 👖
I’m a 28 in almost every pair of jeans, but I recently ordered Levi’s in a 30 (because I have a big butt and thighs), and they so hilariously flattened my ass and would not button. I’m a 27 waist and 42 hips so I know I have a unique body shape, but I just want to have some cute cheeky straight jeans. Guess they’re just not made for me 🤷♀️
schasse2011 I just bought my first two pairs a couple of days ago and I’m in awe. I got mine at Kohl’s and they had a BOGO deal going on so I got both for roughly $90. I’m over jeggings and really appreciate Levi’s thicker material and quality.
kalliedoscope I’m usually a size 12 and I had to size up. Maybe you needed to try another size up because of your curvy figure. I’m curvy, but I’m not pear-shaped. The jeans really made my butt look nice. 😭❤️
@@beingashope they're just so COMFORTABLE! i'm so happy with the two pairs I have. I think I got them for like 48 each? Not at the same time, it was from two different sales. I have never been a big fan of the jegging style jeans anyway, so these are so much better.
LOVED the sky highs with the paint specks- adorable and so you!
also i know when natalie drue does in-store try ons, she'll take silent clips in the fitting room and do a voiceover of her thoughts on the clips. :) that might help you feel less torn about these kinds of videos in the future!
Honestly, thank you for continuing this series because it's so relatable and it's definitely my favorite series of yours (along with the thrifting vids!). Ignore the employees talking/looking, you're awesome at what you do and positively influencing the mid-size community!!
Just want to thank you for putting yourself thru that anxiety driven shopping while filming. WE APPRECIATE YOU!
This means so much, seriously thank you 😭❤️
ever since i gained some happy weight from my relationship, i HATED going shopping for jeans like it made me so sad cus how many sizes i went up, but since watching your videos saying size doesnt matter, i can now shop for jeans w out feeling like shit about my size, so thank you!!!
I’m a gap girl through and through. I would recommend going to the factory store because I’ve learned they are much better with pricing and sizes for a mid size body. Also although the quality might seem the same as other stores I can attest that my gap jeans last me years whereas other brands rip in the thigh after only a few months of wear.
Love your videos! To help decrease the amount of “awkwardness” you could film the try on and add a voice over. That way noisy employees won’t ease drop 🤷🏼♀️
Carrie: 100$ is a lot for a pair of jeans!
Also Carrie: Buys 2 vintage t-shirts for 100$🤣
I WILL NEVER LIVE THIS DOWN HAHAHAHA
But you see you get 2 shirts instead of 1 jean 😂
Carrie, The Gap always has the best sales! Sometimes you can even find jeans for under $10 there, so just wait for a good sale to pop up!
I sometimes want to cry when I watch these videos because we have the EXACT same body shape and I never see it represented. It feels so validating to see someone with the same shape midsection (part of my body I'm most insecure about) as me and gives me hope that one day I can feel as comfortable in my skin as you do in yours. Love love love your videos!!
THANK YOU FOR SACRIFICING YOURSELF!! These videos genuinely help so much. If only I would’ve had someone show this to me as a teen.
Carrie, take a lightweight top into the fitting room to ‘try on’ next time to avoid overheating in your jumper! I was feeling your pain, LOL. 😂💜💜
bronny172 I always wear a tank top under my shirt to the store bc they always have the heat cranking this time of year and I die 🥵
It is bad enough having to see yourself from all angles without breaking out a sweat! Sexy 😆
Great idea!! I was on my way to the mall like....."why the f*ck did i wear a sweater?!?!" LOL
I love your dressing room try-on videos, especially when it comes to jeans. You and Sierra have helped me discover high-rise jeans and I love when you seek out curvy jeans. Thank you for what you do. :)
Love this series of videos. It reminds me a lot of Sarah Rae Vargas’ “Will it fit” videos. This is soo helpful to mid and plus size women!
Thank you for putting yourself out there filming for us. I know the awkwardness would get to me so just wanted to let you know how much we all appreciate it.
🥺❤️❤️❤️
I LOVE their basic T-Shirt. So flattering and the perfect cut!
Those 1969 jeans look amazing on you! Like they’re so cute and SOOOO flattering
Omg yes! Literally love that you did this! I am 5’10, ALL LEGS, and the gap jeans in Long and the soft wear are seriously the only jeans that fit my body like a glove and don’t cut in up top. Your videos show how truly, all clothes fit everyone’s body differently. There is no size fits all. You rock, keep doin u, also loved you on the podcast almost cried when I saw your name.
Thank you for helping me love my body literally every single day that I see your content!
Carrie! I was just watching one of your recent vlogs and you wore like 3 pairs of amazing glasses in it. I would love a tour of your glasses, for glasses wearers who are incapable of finding cute glasses like me!
You really inspired me to love my body and my new size. I am now a 14 and i am lovin it. I am 35 years old and a mother of 3 so my body have change a lot... it is an every day struggle but i love myself more and more ♥️
Definitely my favorite brand will always be American eagle outfitters. Not only were they so pleasant to work for when I was a manager there but I love how inclusive their sizing is. Especially now that they carry up to size 22 in their store and size 24 online. It just makes me so happy that I can walk into the store and always find my size. I usually range between a 14 to a 20 (just the no stretch jeans). I hate going into a store and feeling insecure because I have to size up but the size isn’t available at all. I’m so glad you do these videos to show how inconsistent women’s sizing really is. Love you Carrie ❤️
Girl you look so gorgeous!! You always do but I’m loving your eye look ❤️❤️❤️
i used to work at gap, i agree that the mid rise are more like low rise. but i’m so glad you tried on the sky high! they are my favorite jeans ever, they do come in more washes online for $80 bc $128 is too much! gap jeans also stretch A LOT, so keep that in mind!
those white jeans looked bomb on you Carrie!! Even if you didn’t feel confident, just know that all i could think was how cute you looked and how flattering they were!
"Thanksgiving is trash. You can fight me" Carrie Dayton November 2019
I love you asking the people in the dressing rooms next to you for good vibes! Super cute. I'm gonna try that next time.
Yeah I haven’t been to the gap since elementary school and now that I know how expensive they are, it’ll stay like that 😂
Omg you look so gorgeous... haven’t even gotten past the intro yet haha
"Thanksgiving is trash. You can fight me." - agreed.
Your hair and you are just wonderful, Carrie. Thanks for being you! Have a wonderful weekend!
As someone who isn't midsize.. I appreciate you going into stores anyways because it's good to know which stores are inclusive to my sizing or are trying to be inclusive to my size. I sucks that they don't carry these sizes in stores though because it makes shopping for everyday wear a lot harder.
The Gap clearance section during their 50% off sales items deal is the BEST deals, I've bought jeans for $2.50 there, most jeans are $15-$20 though in the clearance section so the 50% off makes them around $7.50-$10 and they're amazing quality pants so I love shopping their sales section in stores!
Gap sells my favorite jeans ever! I absolutely love Gap they have so many different materials and styles, so the sizing is a little iffy. DO NOT sleep on the clearance that’s where I get mine and you can get a $10 pair of jeans. I always find my size, a 16, in store and on sale absolutely love give another chance!!! Love you and your videos you make midsized women feel accepted!
Could u do a try on at Kohl’s??
I love these videos and I'm glad their back 😋 I've been loving your content recently
“Thanksgiving...is trash” - my queen 😂 agreed
New subscriber here (found you through Sierra Schultzzie), going through your old vids. When I was plus sized (22/24) I wanted to shop at Old Navy (which is a Gap affiliate) but I couldn’t because they didn’t carry my size in store and it was so discouraging because it just made me feel like my body was the problem. I started buying from them when I discovered they had extended sizing online. I recently lost a lot of weight and went down to a 14/16 and I felt so good when I could buy their clothes in store (which is pretty messed up, right?). I’m still on my weight loss and health journey and it is really hard when I would try on clothes (really anywhere) and it would be a bigger size than I thought that I was supposed to be in. So this whole ramble is to say thank you for making your videos because I’m starting to realize and teach myself that it’s not me or my body that’s the problem- it’s stores and inconsistent sizing. Thank you!
I had a very discouraging fitting room experience recently but your video helps me feel so much better about it!
Finally another trying on sizing video! I love these ones and helps conquering the fear of getting into some stores and trying on clothes.
Love how u r just casually growing in sizes and being okay w it unlike peeps like me.. Love ya
Carrie! I'm a fellow tall girl myself and the BEST high waisted jeans PERFECT for a long torso are the Levi's mile high jeans (shorts too) !!! Try them if you ever find a pair. Life changing! (super stretchy too)
Love your vids Carrie!
You give me so much confidence
I just have to say that there are people that cant wear high rise jeans. Which there isnt anything wrong with either. I had life saving surgery when i was 6 months old so there is a scar above my belly button that makes wearing jeans or skirts that are "suppose" to sit at or above your belly button are super uncomfortable
I like the look of high rise but I hate the feeling of it digging into my waist when I’m sitting down or after a meal lol it’s a love-hate
GAP has fantastic sales though! 98% of my closet is Gap Tall. Everything fits so perfect on my 6'3" frame. I feel like they used my exact proportions when making the tall patterns. It's the most amazing feeling to order clothing and not have to worry about it fitting properly. Every single size Large Tall and every single size 12 Tall fit me perfect. It's so freaking amazing to have clothes that fit well without compromising on the style aspect.
Just FYI: gap online almost *always* has a 40% (or higher) sale going on. Also, there’s usually an ebates (Rakuten) offer for cash back. I’ve gotten good jeans there for $30ish dollars by utilizing sales and cash back offers. It actually puts Gap jeans in the very affordable category. Also works for Old Navy, who’s also stepped up their denim game. Also also, it’s great if you need to stock up on kids clothing and shoes!
These are my favorite videos that you do! Nice to know I’m not the only one riding the mid-sized struggle bus 😂
I don’t know if this store is everywhere but I absolutely LOVE maurices! They have great sizes for the skinnies and curvy girls. I can wear from stuff from both sides and love that they go up to a 2x on the “regular” side. They carry a great selection for both sides as well.
Yesterday I had a terrible day because I had a professor comment on my weight and asking me “what bullies use to say to me about it”🙄💔 I kept thinking about your encouraging words while having a mental breakdown. Thank you for what you do! I love you💕
Carol Chimirri holy shit that’s awful. I hope you feel better!
Your professor is TRASH!!! Throw the whole teacher away!!! You’re incredible and I love you 💞💞💞💞
shelby kate I’m feeling better now💕 Ty❤️
I missed this series. Madewell next, maybe? Love their jeans but I'm not sure how inclusive they are.
I had the same experience at the gap this summer!! Only tried 2 different pairs (in 3 different sizes) then decided I didn't want to give my money to a company that caused so much dressing room anxiety!! Thanks for making me feel less alone!
Gap is my fav thrifted jeans! Ten dohlars for high-rise dark-wash skinny jeans! They’re everything and make me so happy. Thrift stores where I’m at always have Gap jeans.
Yes, please try and make some of those painted jeans!!! Super duper cute!!!!
I really find with gap jeans they stretch after a wear or two so I always have to size down and than they’re perfect once you wear them a couple times!
Old Navy is way more size inclusive and cheaper prices.
Old Navy is inclusive but I still wish they'd carry size 24 in store and extra long jeans. ☹️ But I did gain hella weight so 🤷🏻♀️😂😂
Old Navy is crap, their clothes fall apart so fast.
Melissa Harris I’ve had some Old Navy jeans and dresses for over 5 years now. If you take care of and properly wash them according to the care label, Old Navy clothes do not fall apart fast. They’ve always lasted me forever
Adrienne ThatsMe they are owned by the same company and the clothes are pretty similar but the price gap is ridiculous. gap is a bit better quality but i couldn’t justify it
Rose Braun for the tiny bit of quality increase through gap, you might as well go to old navy and pay half price or less for them to last like...a month..less??? And if you get their stuff on sale (which stuff always is) you’re paying WAY less than half of gaps pricing.
Nooooo Carrie Please go back and get the Last pair 😍 They look amazing and are so flattering on that annoying mid tummy issue we all have.
I love these videos because not only is it so important to normalize midsized bodies but the size discrepancy in American retailers. I constantly feel shame for being a bigger size in one store than another when I prefer the look and feel of those clothes simply because of A NUMBER. Just because we are mid/plus sized doesn't mean we can't rock the same size as "standard" sizes. The end. Anyways, thanks for coming to my rant, and more importantly, THANK YOU Carrie for making these videos because I know how hard it is to put yourself in the uncomfy position, but you are helping so many people because of it!
We LOVE you so much Carrie! 🌿♥️🦋🤧 #TeamCarrie #CarrieTime
The high waisted distressed ones you tried on with the raw hem bottoms and “above the knee” holes... love. I was getting an ad for gap jeans constantly and it always had those and I wanted them sooo bad. But I’ve never tried GAP and I can’t justify spending $80+ on one pair of jeans.
They looked awesome on you though!
The more inclusive sizing being stocked only online allows there to be more options overall- because rather than having to have stock to have enough pairs for every location to have a few pairs, they basically can stock them in one “store” (their e-commerce) which means rather than there being, for example, 500 pairs of the same style of size 20 jeans spread over every store in the country, they can have say 50 pairs of 10 styles. It also stops the issue of all the stock in certain sizes selling out at some locations and others rarely selling those sizes so having lots and centralizes the inventory so everyone in those sizes has more selection.
I also hear you that actually being able to go in and try on those sizes is important- but that’s the thinking ❤️
FYI....A regional manager once told me that you can be 3-4 different sizes in jean depending on the dye they use (dark, medium, light etc) and that you should never use your jean size as your “pant” size. I think this accounts for the discrepancy of sizing in jeans, even within the same store. Hope this helps with the confusion!
YES!!!! these are my favorite video types that you do (although I love all your videos).
I recently lost about 60 pounds and I am in limbo between straight and plus sizes...I’m plus in pants but plus size shirts are too big. I have major anxiety about going into straight size stores but your videos are helping me a lot. Thanks so much!! ❤️
Lets see the DIY of the jeans girl! I would love to see that! 🙌🏻💜❤️💜
I highly recommend old navy! The high waisted rockstar skinny are ACTUALLY high waisted and they are amazing.
🥰🥰 love you Carrie!!! My favorite types of videos!
Omg!!! You are so right about inclusive sizing!!! Stores need to carry all the sizes they have on the website!!
“And I ain’t even got an ass y’all, I’m white” 😂😂 this killed me
I love these videos because of you I found out about hollister Sale and I stocked up on jeans that I like and actually fit me everywhere I go I get frustrated because I’m always a different size
Pardon me if you’ve done this before but I’m actually a huge fan of jeans from the LOFT. Nice fit for girls with hips!
Great video. I get a lot of my basics from gap outlet. You're beautiful and I love your sense of humor 😁😘
The “mid rise” fit jeans actually are so flattering on you
The curvy/stretch mom jeans at American Eagle have the same fit as the last pair you tried on and are my HOLY GRAIL jean. They also come in short, long and regular. I think you should try them out!
Well good thing is you tried it on in person ,so now you can wait for Black Friday or Cyber Monday to pick them up, because they are definitely worth it
If you’re more comfortable buying on line and trying on at home, then do that! don’t make yourself completely uncomfortable! Trust, we want you to enjoy what you’re filming so you keep doing it!! 💙
I swear by GAP, despite the price (as a midsize person). I used to always get American Eagle jeans, but I was lucky if they would last a season without wearing out in the thigh (not to mention, that was back in high school when I had a uniform and didn’t wear them on the daily). I started getting GAP jeans a couple years ago, and they last me so much longer! I took a pair to Italy almost a year ago, and wore them almost everyday for 5 months straight- they were 1 of 3 pairs of pants I had brought- and they haven’t worn through yet! I find that, for skinny jeans, the curvy fit works best for me (although those only come in mid rise, but I am only 5’ 2”, so the mid rise hits me perfect)
I think those 1990s jeans show how stores have implemented vanity sizing across the board over the last 20 years
I really want to see an Everlane in store Jean review....for the midsized girls who want these but can't afford to gamble online...there is no store near me:(
I'm not midsized but I'm a cury size 2-4 bought everlane Jean's in a 27 and I love them. I have along torso and the high rise is perfect for me.
From what I've heard, Everlane doesn't carry extended sizing in store :(((( I still need to get to the bottom of that, though! I'm thinking an online try-on might need to happen if that's the case!
Carrie I miss your storytime videos _SO, SO MUCH_ 😭
you look so great in white jeans they looked so cute with the sweater too💓
I love the cheeky straight jeans (aka the last one's you tried on)! I have them in 2 washes. They get even better after you wear them and totally give you the relaxed fit that's so in right now. I usually wait until they're doing the "friends and family" sale cause it's 40% off and an additional 10% off online. The best jeans I've ever owned 🙌
“i don’t even got an ass y’all - i’m white” i’m CRYING😂😂😂
Kohl's, K-mart, Macy's, if you've got those stores near you, you should do this type of video there!
Love these videos and love you❤️
Can you do a video cold trying clothes from asos and see what they have? Who also wants to see that??
⬇️
Yeeessss thank you so much for doing this video the gap is always so hard for me as a size 16-18 ☺️
DIY DIY DIY. Also, I feel like they have way more sizes in store in Canada. I am sorry you could only find a few of the 16s! However you looked great in so many of dem jeans girl! Loved this video!
I clicked this thinking it was Sierra in the thumbnail and it took me a good minute to figure out that it was in fact not. I feel weird.
