    It's like jemmhh said: sizing isn't standardized at all. But, FWIW: 5'8", 148 (goal: 142) current sizes that fit comfortably are 6 & 8. Although, in dresses - 10.

    I'm maintaining now, but my Stats are:
    5ft 4, 133lbs and a UK 8-10 (which i think is a US 4-6) and Medium framed.
    I think frame size plays a part too. https://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/fsz

    What a cool site - thank you for posting! According to it, I have a small frame. Guess I wasn't as "big-boned" as I thought. Now I feel dumb, LOL! :)

    I'm 5'6" and 193 lbs. with (apparently) a small frame. Right now, I'm wearing about a size 16-18 in women's and a 38 in men's jeans (my brother gives me his hand-me-downs). When I was around 155 lbs., I think I was wearing a size 10-12 in women's.

    I feel like sizing is such a mess.

    I'm 5'0" and 145 right now. I'm in mostly size 8 pants, some 6 and some 10 depending on brand. Same with dresses.

    I was 171 and a size 14-16 (5'2)

    I'm now 119-123 and range between a 4-10 depending on who makes the pants. I have a pair of size 10 capris that fit great, but the majority of my pants are now 4-6

    5'7" 137lbs. US size 8 dress (but US size 4 jeans--I've broad shoulders, back, and full bust, yet narrow hips).

    You're going to get a lot of variation. For example, my wedding gown (bridal size 12) fit me like a glove 10 years ago and same weight as I am today. I put it on now, and it's a good size or more too loose everywhere. Same weight/same person, but very different body composition (more muscle now) = different size.

    I second the comment that there is tremendous variation in dress sizing. In North American sizes especially I did notice insane vanity sizing going on in the past couple of years.

    Stats: 132, 5’4” (measurements 34-27.5-38)
    US/Canada dress size: 2/4
    Italian: 42
    French: 38

    The Italian and French sizes are equivalent to a US 6, but every size 6 dress I’ve ever tried is too big. Also, these correspond to a size M, but I usually end up buying S/XS in North America. The way I see it, as long as you feel fabulous in your clothes, who cares what size they are. :smiley:

    I'm 5'4.5. I weigh 127. Pretty much a size 0 in almost everything. Old navy's clothes are all too big though. However! I have broad shoulders compared to my hips.

    A few years back... I weighed 120-122 and fitting dandy in an old navy size 2. So my weight is 5ish lb more and I'm a smaller size now.

    Starting weight and sizes: May 2014
    Height: 5'5
    Weight: 204lbs
    Shirt Size: XL or XXL
    Pant Size: 16 (US)
    Dress Size: 16 (US)

    And then Current: April 2015 (34 lbs down)
    Height: 55'5
    Weight: 170lbs
    Shirt Size: Large or XL
    Pant Size: 12 or 14 (US)
    Dress Size: 12 or 14 (US)

    What size I wear really varies on where I'm buying my clothes from but I'm more focused on being a healthy weight and looking healthy rather than sizes. If I'm a size 10-12 and I look good, then that's totally fine with me. But after almost 35 pounds of a loss I only drop about 1 size maybe 2 in certain brands.

    Old Navy is the worst of the worst as far as vanity sizing. I can't wear anything there except the XS tank tops, and even those are a bit roomy.

    I used to love old navy because they're cheap! No more for me though, sadly. :neutral:

    Yeah, not only do you have to contend with differences between bodies, the differences in how companies size things make this impossible.

    I'm 5'4" and 175 lbs. I'm most commonly a US 14 now, but I also have and wear 12s and 16s. In shirts, because of my boobs, I'm anywhere from a large to a XXL depending on how it's cut.

    Old Navy sizing is just bizarre and totally unpredictable in my experience.

    5'8 135 lbs US size 4\ 6. But sizing is so crazy that sometimes I can fit into a 2 and other places a 7! Lol a lot of companies use vanity sizing so it's almost impossible to figure out an exact size.

    I'm 5'4" and 153 lbs. and wear either a 10 or a 12 (US) depending on the clothes. My mom is also 5'4" and wears the same sizes I do even though she only weighs about 135 lbs. She carries her weight in her midsection while I carry it in in my hips, thighs, and breasts...hence the reason I weigh 18 lbs. more than she does but we wear the same size.
