    I'm 158 lbs (5'2'') and currently am wearing size 18. They're getting a little big for me but my size 16's are too tight.

    I'm 5'7.5", and 217lb. Currently a 16, although they're a little loose (just nowhere near a 14 yet).

    I hate these posts. You never know what someone considers fitting. I see people posting my same weight and height, and some have larger and some have smaller sizes. That being said, I am 5'3 and 189...I have 10's- 16's in my closet.

    Check out mybodygallery.com - I love that darn website. It shows you real people with their height, weight and sizes listed :) and you can sort by body shape/type.

    Everything about women's clothes sizing drives me insane! I'm 5'4" and 140lbs, bottom heavy, and I own pants size US 6 to 14 and tops XS to XL. I just go in the store and take one of each to the fitting room... haha

    5 foot 8 or 9, currently 276, UK 16 (although I also have 14s and 18s that fit well) - although that can vary a lot, depending on whether boobs are in fashion and allowed for in the cuts. (I wear an E cup.)

    My OCD scientist self wants to plot these on a scatter graph and see what sort of correlations we get!

    I think it depends on your shape. I am an apple. I am 5'6 and weigh 199. I can fit a stretchy size 10 and some eights. Larger top because pf my breast. Like xl tops because they are longer. I use to think wpw if only I could be a size. Now I worry about how my clothes fit. Want to lose 40 more lbs. I seem to be losing because I wear smaller size but weight is same. Ok with me because I want my flab to go.

    I can't figure out what size dress I am. Nothing seems to fit quite right, and they all change from brand to brand anyway.

    5'8" 138lbs and UK size 10 (US6).

    30 lbs heavier was size12-14 (US8-10).

    Some stores size 10 jeans won't fit as I have generous hips, but usually can rely on this size.
