8 or 10 in bottoms (I usually go with a 10 so my skinny jeans don't give me a muffin top)!
8 in dresses
Anywhere from 8 - 12 in tops. I have long arms and a big chest so I usually size up.0 -
5'10
~250lbs
16 in bottoms . . . sometimes I can squeeze into a 14 if they're forgiving/vanity sizing, but usually a 16
L or XL in tops - I have fairly broad shoulders and I also don't like my shirts to be short . . . I like them covering my belt and mid section, can't stand if they just meet the top of my pants . . . I'm weird lol
Dresses are usually a 16 or an 18, depending on the cut of the dress. If it has long sleeves I usually have to buy an 18 and have it taken in around the waist just because of my broad shoulders

Some of this will also depend on bodyfat% and how much muscle a person carries. Muscle is denser than fat, so it takes up less space for the same weight. I know I would never be a 4/6 pants at 147 pounds if I hadn't been doing strength/resistance training for the past two years.
I have a large amount of just excess grossness on my abdomen from being so overweight. I fear that the only way to truly get rid of it will be to have it cut off.1 -

I think the only way I'd ever be able to wear smaller than a 6 is if I shaved off some hipbone.2

Me: 145.2 lbs "large frame" 6-10 depending on brand; mostly an 8. Size Medium tops.
Depends on where I am in the world and the shop I am buying from! Am naturally rather busty and fairly slim hipped so dresses need to accommodate the top.
154lbs
5'8
37-30-36 inch measurements bust/waist/hip
UK - size 8 or 10 bottoms, size 10 or 12 tops. Dresses are usually size 12 or a M to accommodate a (32GG) bust.
New Zealand - size 10 or 12 bottoms, size 14 tops, dresses need to be size 14 or a L to accommodate the large (14E) bust.

We have similar stats -- though I'm shorter and older at 66 yo, 5'2.5" inches with a medium frame, 127 lbs., 36/28/36. I'm into a US size 2/4 regular or a medium Petite (4/6). Are you lifting weights? That's what reshaped my body and brought down my clothing size big time.0 -
I don't lift due to a number of reasons. I just started (November) doing body weight and band resistance excercises and I'm already starting to see a difference though.1

5'5" 145lbs, major pear shape; junk in the trunk. bottoms...anywhere from 6 to 10 US. 10 for slim or straighter cut pants. 6 only when there's a generous curvy cut. Usually have to get a pants with waist too big and belt it to accommodate hips. It was easier finding pants to fit in a larger size, which is weird, but the hip to waist ratio was smaller then. Tops: generally mediums.0

5'3...124 lbs...and just started fitting back into size 50

Sounds like you're on the right track! You're actually thinner than I am because of the height difference. Wish I was taller! Ha, ha.1 -
I really hope that I can achieve the shape that I'm after. I'd like to be able to deflate this horrible belly-flap-thing and not have to run the expense of surgery for it.0
