I know this post is from a couple years ago, but thought I would throw my 2cents in for future readers who may be confused. Logic dictates that a 1X and XL or 2X and XXL would be the same size but their NOT. 1X is larger then XL.

Logic dictates that a 1X and XL or 2X and XXL would be the same size but their NOT. 1X is larger then XL. This is because L, XL, XXL are all in misses/womens sizing. 1X, 2X, 3X are all in women's PLUS sized sizing. So in this case 1X or 2X (being PLUS size garments for heavier set women) are going to be larger then an XL, XXL in regular misses sizes. To prove this, next time your in Kohls, JCPenneys, Dillards, etc. find a jacket in the misses/womens department that says XL, then walk over to the Women's Plus size department and find a 1X jacket, you will see that the 1X jacket is way larger then the XL. Same with XXL vs 2X. This is because XL/XXL falls in misses/womens sizing, and 1X/2X falls in plus sized sizing. Most women who know they are plus size know the difference and automatically look for plus size sizes 18W, 20W, 22W, 1X, 2X, 3X, etc. see less I know this post is from a couple years ago, but thought I would throw my 2cents in for future readers who may be confused.

Do you? | Report An XXL is generally the largest size in Misses clothing (very rarely do you see misses/straight sizes in a 20). An XXL fits like a 1X in my experience. An XXL is NOT the same as a 2X. I have been plus sized most of my life. I recently took my weight loss to the next step and have lost 70# so far this year.

An XXL is NOT the same as a 2X. I have been plus sized most of my life. I recently took my weight loss to the next step and have lost 70# so far this year. As a result, I’ve finally entered into the larger of the Misses sizes and can wear both plus and straight sized clothes. An XXL is a Misses 18. A 1X is a plus size 14/16. The difference is that plus size clothing is generally made wider and with more room in the arms, hips, thighs, butt, and stomach areas. So the measurements may be similar. But this is why trying clothing on matters. Plus sized women know to look for the “W” at the end when looking at clothing in department stores. Women that are in between like I am have to try everything on to find a decent fit. It’s annoying actually. see less An XXL is generally the largest size in Misses clothing (very rarely do you see misses/straight sizes in a 20). An XXL fits like a 1X in my experience.

Do you? | Report I agree that XL,XXL,xxxl are missy sizes and 1X, 2X, 3X are women's plus sizes ,roomer in sleeve circumference and torso circumference. If you compare these sizes in any store that carry missy and plus, this is very obvious Amazon Customer · June 7, 2019 35 people found this helpful. Do you? | Report My experience has always been that 1X is bigger than XL but beyond that, 2X fits the same as XXL does. I wear a 2X or as it is more often marked XXL. This jacket is available in this listing as an XXL. The also have a listing of a coat with the same title that is listed as plus size and is listed as 2X. I'll see what it's like when it arrives but my personal experience so far is as stated. Jeannie · December 14, 2016 22 people found this helpful.
