Three Topics:
1. How to get the right fit of Junior Jeans
2. Information: Size Chart & Terminology
3. Ebay Seller / Auction Selection Suggestions
Many of today's hottest jeans ( Abercrombie, Aeropostale, Lucky, G-Unit, Ecko Red, Adolfo, Seven, Enyce, Mudd, etc. are Junior sized... so here we go:
1.
There are 5 measurements that you want to use to get the right fit of Junior Jeans. They are waist, inseam (from crotch seam to bottom of leg), rise (from crotch seam to top of waist), leg width & zipper length (both more for persoanl preference rather than fit).
My suggestion is to get these measurements from your favorite pair of jeans at home & use them when searching for your Ebay purchase. (Jumping the gun a bit, but you should only buy from a seller that gives you these detailed measurements)
2.
JUNIORS Size chart (Use as a guideline only):
Size 0 1/2 3/4 5/6 7/8 9/10 11/12 13/4
XXS XS S M L XL
Waist 23 24 25 26 27 28 29.5 31
Some Terminology: (in no particular order)
RISE: Normal Rise = 10-12", Mid-Rise = 7-10", Low-Rise = 4-7", Ultra-Low Rise = 4" or below
BOOT-CUT: Wider below the knee to allow ankle-to-knee high boots to be worn easily
RELAXED-FIT: More casual fit, larger in the thighs & seat... usually with tapered leg
DISTRESSED JEAN: Merely means that it shows signs of age... this can mean fading, sanding, etc.... varies by jean
DESTROYED JEAN: More significant wear, often ripped, torn, shredded, discolored etc.... varies by jean
(Hope some of these helped)

Ebay Buying Suggestions:
~ Only buy from sellers that can provide the fore-mentioned detailed size/fit measurements

~ Remember to use measurements from your favorite jeans to get the best fit from your Ebay purchase
