"W" means Women sizes like 16w, 18w, etc up to 40w or sizes 1x, 2x, or 3x.

While that is partly true, clothes are assigned by women's body development. Women's bodies are different, or can be, than Misses. Because Childbirth changes you hip structure, and increases you breast size. Size 8w, 10w, 12w is also a normal size.

As you see size junior 1x, 2x, 3x, etc. Junior sizes are for very young women of teenage. They are designed for as yet undeveloped female bodies. Small breasts, large rear ends, thicker waists.
