    I am 5' 7.5" and 165lbs and wear size 8 slacks. Jeans run a bit different, depending on the cut. I wear 8 or 10 jeans.

    But, before baby number 5, I was 147lbs wearing a loose 4 (had one pair of size 2) and solid size 6 or 8 jeans but Juniors size 7 jeans or loose 9 (I can fit my Levi's Junior 9 right now). Amazing how bodies are so different.

    I seriously don't get sizes....

    My cheat scale weigh in just showed me as 156.2 lbs (my official weigh in is every Monday). So I am 5'7" and 156 lbs. I wear a 9/10... where are these 6s and 8s that y'all are putting on? I must start shopping there =P

    But seriously, I now can wear my 8s from old Navy and my 6s from The Gap. But I tend more towards junior sized clothing so I am borderline from 9/10 and 11/12.

    So I wear anywhere from 6-12. Joy. Even my bra size is wonky... depending on brand I am either a 34D or a 36D. Weird.

    Well I am assuming you are in the US where there are two different sizing systems regular woman sizes, which are the 2, 4, 6, 8, 10,12... and then there is Junior/Misses sizing 0,1,2,3,5,7,9,11,13...

    Junior sizing tend to run smaller then woman's. At my optimal weight of 147lbs, I could wear size 4 slacks comfy, 6/8 jeans...but in Juniors sizes the jeans I could fit in is a tight 7 and comfy/lose 9. At 165 I am fitting my 9 Juniors.

    I'm 5'7'ish... My average weight is around 140 lbs... I typically wear a size 6, but recently was able to get into all of my size 4 skirts and a few size 4 pants comfortably. I'm pretty muscular and I tend to have problems finding pants/jeans that are small enough for my waist but aren't skin tight through my thighs!

    Anyone have any suggestions for jeans to try??

    I have very muscular thighs as well...I recently bought some Miss Me jeans and they fit like they were made for me. Luv them!!!

    I am 5'7", I weigh 229 right now. I fit into a size 18 or 20 depending on the clothing but they are all between comfy and loose. I can fit into 16 pants from old navy but they dont look good on me yet.

    I'm 5'9" and 170lbs and wear 12/14. My goal with weight loss is to fit in to single digit sizes!! I've been as low as 159 and still fit 12/14!! Body type has to have something to do with it.

    Where did you find the Miss Me jeans? I have larger hips and thighs, would love to make my behind look better ;)

    I am 5'4", 135lbs, and somewhere between sizes 8-6, depending on the brand. My size 8 Gap pants are loose, and the size 6 Calvin Kleins are slightly tight. My "biggest" problem is my ample booty! I am definately a pear shape!

    I'm 5'3", 174 lbs, and I'm in size 14 pants right now. However since it's summer and I'm shrinking, I've only bought 2 new pairs of jeans and one pair of work pants, so I haven't tried on a big sample of size 14. I'm hoping I'll fit into a size 12 pant by the fall and then I'll get some more. I'm smaller on top, I fit into Size L tops now. On a realllly rare occasion a medium. The bottom of me just needs to catch up! I have a feeling it'll start dropping fast once I get down below a 12, since the difference between sizes is smaller.

    5'8.5"
    266
    bottom (18-20)
    top(16-18)

    I find sizing weird but I'm happy to shrink out of all of them..someone found an old sweater of mine @ work the other day mens/2X that was too small when I lost it. Now I can almost wrap it right around my body..nice to know I won't have to order men's sizes when there are big group orders for things(work uniform sweater).

    Just curious. Are these Stretch Jeans? I only wear stretch jeans. :wink:

    USA
    5'4"
    145 lbs.
    7/8 stretch - "Dereon" Jeans
    Size 8 in slacks, skirts and dresses :happy:

    I have on size 9 - "Sean Johns" jeans today and they are baggy. I'm Apple Shape.

    When I started at 185 lbs. I wore a tight 12 (stretch)... Latinas always take it to the "Jeans Limit" :laugh:

    BTW, When I worked for Fleet Street on 7th Ave, NYC. If the order was for 10 dozen size 9's and we were short by a few pieces, they would change the size tag to accomodate the order. Deceptive, but I just worked there :ohwell:

    I use to like stretch jeans, but after a few wears, they become bigger jeans lol

    USA 5'5 202 size 14 but last time I was a size 14 I was around 160 so I don't think it is just height and weight that truely determine size.

    It is so interesting to see all of the different sizes for people that are around the same height and weight. I am 5'9" and 145 and wear between a 6/8, depending on the brand.

    I'm 5'6" and currently 148 pounds. Most jeans I can wear an 8. Khakis and stuff I can wear a 6. Dresses I can wear a 4. That would be bc I have a tiny waist and some junk in the trunk.

    Oh Girl, you need to get some good quality stretch jeans. Yes, the ones with less (spandex) will get loose- ewww. But i can tell you I have not had that happen when i buy "name brand" stretch jeans. They don't have to be expensive either... Marshalls :wink:

    BTW - I'm a Pear shape. I was thinkin of "Apple Bottom" when I commented I'm an Apple shape. :laugh:
