actually express clothing fits very well... they have proportional hip and ass room in their pants, for instance i am waist size 4, ass size 5 or so, and i usually hav eto get to the 5 to have them big around the waist.. at express i can wear a 3 no problem (they run a little big).. same with abercrombie and old navy, they make you feel good about yourself cuz they run big
