Do you find Old Navy sizing to be way inconsistant?

So I ordered 3 dresses from there.
1 was slightly too big
1 was WAY too big
1 was too small

All the same size.

And the common thread on all 3 was all 3 were WAY short- even though I ordered from the tall collection.

I just find their sizing suckssss!

Am I alone here?

Yes, it's awful! I have to go to the stores, can't order online from there anymore (not that they have anything good in the stores either but whatever).

Yes - I recently got 3 pairs of the same pants in different colors.

One pair fit perfectly (which was probably the only one I tried on in the store), one was too small and one was too big. I found the same thing with pants from the Gap as well!

Yes..I have a pair of cropped khakis i bought in a four and fit tight; i have a different pair of crops in a four and are hanging off me.

and their jeans, forget it. i give up on their jeans and the way they fit. 4s are too tight, 6's too big.

I find gap runs truer to size (at least for me anyway).

Yes, and I don't really shope there anymore b/c the dressing room line is always so long & it is annoying b/c I have to keep going back for new sizes which take forever to find becuse the store is a mess.

I just ordered some stuff online & many of the reviews I read while doing so report the same problem.

I ordered a dress in two sizes, but I have a feeling both will go back to the store.

Definitely-I ordered about 8 shirts the other day- all the same size. Two of them were so huge, the others were ok, but a little out of shape. And jeans? I'm usually a size 8 and their size 4 are big on me.
I don't remember their sizing being THIS off. I've been ordering from them for a long time.

As a follow up- I don't even want to tell you the wardrobe malfunction I had yesterday in one of their dresses.

Let's just say that in my home mirror and lighting it looked fine.
I get to work, am prancing around the office all morning and when I finally go to use the bathroom around 11 am I glance in the full lenght mirror and Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon the dress is SEE THRU.

I mean- you saw my thong, my azz, my stomach...the whole nine yards. The mystery was OVER.

I nearly died!

How they sold that thing without a lining is disgraceful. It was basically a beach cover up.

I ran back to my desk, grabbed a sweater, tied it around my waist and HID in my office all day. I was mortified.

I swear their quality suckssss.
I think I am done with them for good!
