    It also depends were the clothes are made China, Bangladesh, Thailand,= asian countries are small If you want to find a across the board sizing no matter who the designer is , check QVC all their designers are held to a certain sizing. They have there size chart. Out on the market there is no standard sizing it is up to the designers,and their manufactures

    I'm 5'11
    Weight 190 lbs
    Dress size: 10
    Pants size: 10

    I am quite muscled, so even with my higher weight I can still wear smaller sizes (I know from experience that when I get to 175 or so I'll be a size 6).

    I am surprised at the variations you got for responses! I read some who were the same size I used to be and the size I am now, and wonder how they do it!
    I am about 5'4
    Current weight: 143-145
    Dress size 10-12
    Pants size 8-10

    I used to be 178 and wore sizes 16-18

    I am 5'5" and weigh 152 lbs. I wear a loose 6/tight 4. This applies to most off-the-rack clothing.

    Body comp is changing a lot though, what was tight 6 weeks ago is now loose, even though I've only lost a couple pounds in that time frame. Works for me!! :flowerforyou: :drinker:

    I'm 5'2",
    At CW - 150ish pounds, and can wear an 8 consistently, *sometimes* a 6
    At goal weight (I was there for over a year) - 135ish pounds, can wear a 6 consistently and *sometimes* a 4

    I'm *this close* to being able to fit back into 4-5 skirts in my closet that are a 6. Another 5 pounds and I'll be able to wear them. Antoher 10 and they'll fit well again.

    I'm 5'8" with a 28 1/2 inch waist, 38 inch hips and weigh 153.8. Currently wear a 10-12 in pants (depending on manufacturer) and anything from an 8-12 in skirts and dresses (once again depending on manufacturer). [US sizing] I wear a medium shirt although I have a feeling I'll be in a small before the end of September.




    *edited to add that I do not wear anything that gives me even an inkling of a muffin top at all. So I may well be able to squeeze myself into an 8 pants but I have no desire to look like a sausage. :huh:

    Height: 5'11"

    CW: 235
    GW: 160, maybe lower, we'll see when I get there

    Current dress size: 18/20
    Goal dress size: 8

    If I can make it to a size 8, I'll be happy. Smaller than that is cool, but an 8 will please me. My lowest adult weight was 190 @ a size 10/12. I still had some flab and could tone up a lot from that point, so I'm pretty confident in being able to hit 160 & sz 8.

    5'6''
    148.6 pounds
    pants and dress size 12 (usually. Some stores I'm still a 14)

    I have a small frame but wide hips. I'm an interesting shape... I can relate to frustration about the sizes of others compared to myself though, and I'm working on stopping comparing. My body is UNIQUE, just like everyone else's.

    edited to add- My goal size is a 10. I don't know if I'll be there in 8.6 pounds, and if I'm not, then I'm giving up on that and going to work on being happy at a 12. :drinker:

    The size difference are interesting.
    I am 5'2" 128 pounds.
    I just went close shopping this weekend d/t my 20# weight loss and went from a size 12 to a size 8 pants. I was pleased with that. I don't wear dresses.
    My top half is very small but my hips and but are larger. We are all made so different.
