    The variations between answers here are so remarkable. Just a good reminder how the number on the scale basically says nothing :neutral:

    5'10" (178 cm)
    173 lbs
    Size 10 bottoms that are starting to get loose
    Size M in casual shirts and sweaters but still a L in fitted shirts because I have wide shoulders

    I'm 5'9" 142 lbs. US size; tops med or small (if short sleeved), pants size 8 (could do 6 but I like pants looser) and skirts are always 6. I'm lean/athletic and carry my weight in my hip/thigh area.

    5’8 1/2
    152 pounds, goal is 138 (but will be content at 142)
    Pants - US size 6 (Gap) and 8 (American Eagle, Abercrombie, the places where my teen shops lol)
    Tops - mostly medium but some large since I have a long torso and 36D chest.

    Good luck!

    I’m 5’9 and hover around 136-140lbs (63.kg)
    It really depends on the designer. In US brands - 6/8 medium, ITalian 42 , French 38

    It also really depends on the designer for me - I have a DVF dress that’s a 10 and extremely narrow - I have a Chanel skirt that’s a 6 and I was shocked it fit!

    I'm 5'9 and 160 lbs...size 4/5...sometimes 3...I can wear size M t-shirts, but that's like a snug fit, L is more loose...so, if the t-shirt is stretchy then I will get it smaller and make it a "going out" shirt or an "under dresses" shirt, but for things to wear to work or family stuff, I go with L.

    A great deal of sizing is going to depend on body composition and for tops bust size, not just weight. When I was 135 lbs I was a size 7, but I was less muscle and more fluff.
