    I'm almost exactly the same size (about five pounds heavier), don't have much muscle, and almost never wear bigger than a US 2/UK 6 because of my frame - small bone structure, with narrow hips, shoulders, and ribcage. My measurements are about 33 - 24 - 34 right now, if that gives you an idea (and I wear a 28 bra band.)

    But like everyone has said, it also depends on the brand and the fit of a given item.

    I have very wide shoulders, and even at 15% body fat when I was with the ballet, I was in a size 12 top and size 6 pants. Then again, my measurement from shoulder point to shoulder point (on the bone, which doesn't really go anywhere when I gain or lose weight) is about 2" wider than the same measurement on other girls about my height. I can increase weight and eventually size myself out of a 12 top, but I have to put on A LOT of weight to do it. Even at 208 lbs, I was still a size 12.
