Junior sizes are for younger women and are usually cut slimmer in the bust and hips than misses sizes. They are designated by uneven sizes such as 1-13. Misses sizes are designated by even sizes such as 0-20. However, there is no uniform sizing system, and each manufacturer has a different standard (spec.)

Juniors sizes are smaller in the hips and bust. They also tend to run smaller, so a juniors 0 is smaller than a misses 0. Another difference is that juniors pants sizes use odd numbers i.e. 1/2 or 3/4 while misses sizes uses evens like 2/3 or 4/5. Women's sizes are a continuation of misses sizes, size 14/15 and up while juniors is a completely different scale.
