That's actually pretty typical, and even happens with guy's jeans (sized in inches). Unwashed jeans run larger than prewashed jeans run larger than stonewashed jeans. The washes cause them to shrink; it is cotton, after all. The designer ones you're used to probably have Lycra and other synthetics in them.
Now, if I can figure out why unwashed black jeans run larger than unwashed blue jeans, but shrink down to nothing even faster... harsher mordant, maybe?
