    I've only bought jeans in the US but I think they are two sizes smaller, i.e I buy size 12 in US jeans, and size 16 UK jeans

    Yep your right - 2 sizes smaller for ordering in the US but their jeans sizes can be funny, I`m normally a 8 here and my mam went over last year and got me four pairs of jeans all size 4 but only 3 pairs fitted right the other ones were HUGE :)

    Sorry OP forgot to say you would be a size 8 :)

    They do. The even sizes are adult sizes for what is known in the trade as Misses, Petites, Tall & Plus. The odd numbers are for what is known as Juniors/ Junior Misses (kids).
