ladies, do you wear a size 5 (27) in jeans?

secretlobster

I thought ladies' jeans only came in even sizes...

Outside of the US (yes, these places do exist) jeans sizes are often measured differently.

Wow, that's pretty small! Kim Kardashian wears 27s.

I don't think they make designer jeans in my size. lol I'm still in 15s (regular). 5'2" at 175 lbs.

They do! Miss Me's and Silvers Because EVERY woman deserves a great pair of jeans that make her *kitten* looks it's best!

I'm 5'1" 110 size 3 now. I fit into 5's at 120-125 range.

mikeswife04

I am 134-138 (varies lol) and I ware 4-6 jeans.... I think everyone carries their weight differently.. I have NO butt and a little bit of a belly!!!! My hips are pretty small too. (but I haven't had kids either)

kristen6022

146 and 5'11. I wear 27's or a 4 XL. My hips are too wide to fit into Juniors sizes. And at 34 I feel a bit higher in the rise, just below the belly button, suits me better.

I'm 5'5" and weigh between 138-140, depending on the day. I wear 4s and 6s.

ETA: I weighed around 150 most of my adult life (I'm 39) and was a size 10. The last time I was around 140, I only got to a size 8. It's because I've been doing resistance training and gaining a bit of muscle that I weigh around 140 and wear 4s and 6s. I've not been this small in size since I was in 8th grade, 25 years ago. And using both the wrist and elbow measurements, I'm large-framed. I never thought I would be in these sizes, but it's happened. Working out has done amazing things for me.

that's pretty consistent with the feedback i have gotten before too! i am wondering how i weigh so much lol... this is really annoying me.

Your buff and you have narrow hips... just go with it I usually wear a 27, but then new pairs of 26s (true religion) that I just got are falling off and need a belt-- I'm pissed. I think they redid the vanity sizing since that last time I bought jeans. The waist on these is like a 6.

I'm 5'7", 128 though, with a 26" waist, 35" hips, and about 17% body fat. I'm having a crazy hard time finding jeans that fit.

SarahofTwins

if so, what is your weight? just curious to see where i fall...

i am 154lbs and 5'6 in a size 5!

@154 I would wear a size 10-12 I believe...

I'm 5'4 at 123 now and wear a size 6-7...my hips and bottom half are heavier. It just depends on your body too.

heatherloveslifting

You must be all muscle! I'm 5'4", nearly 140 lbs, and wearing 27-28s depending on the cut. At 154 lbs I was wearing mostly 10s and didn't even try on anything with inch sizing!

Dub_D

Size 5 (sometimes 3) and I am 130 lbs & 5'6"

ETA: When I was 154 lbs I was wearing size 7.

I think a lot of it has to do with whether or not you have children, too. Since having kids, juniors jeans just don't fit me right. This drove me crazy for a while until I realized that I'm a woman now and shouldn't expect to wear what I did when I was a teenager. I'm a 6 (could squeeze into a 4, but I don't like being uncomfortable! lol) I'm 5'4 and about 130. Even if I lost 15-20 lbs to get back to my highschool weight (which I wouldn't want to do), I don't think size 3/5 jeans would fit the way they used to.

mariposa224

Holy Moly is right!!! I am 5'5" and when I was 154 I wore a tight 10 and some 12s. I am now 124 and I am in a 6 or 8. You must be a small build. I am medium build and am amazed that some people the same height and weight as me are in 2s! You lucky girls!

does anyone know how to find out what size 'build' you are??

I think if I remember correctly....wrap your hand around your wrist...if your middle finger and thumb don't touch you are large build, if your middle finger and thumb touch you are medium build, and if your middle finger and thumb overlap you are small build.

Someone made a good point in saying that people are built differently as well. I gain weight pretty much all in my belly and that is always the last to go when losing weight. I also have wide ribs, which I hate!

I actually think it's your index finger, not your middle finger.

I'm 5'2" and am currently at 128 and wear a 28 in BKE, lucky, & silvers...

Sizes vary for different brands. Some stores 'small' is too big on me and some 'large' is too small. Go figure.

I wear W 28 and L 35 jeans and they have a good fit, wight currently is 145lb at 5'11" tall. I have 2 children birthed natural way, and 2 months after the 2nd child I was the smallest in size in my life ever... so the whole extra weight excuse due to children baring is just that, excuse for eating getting out of control.

I did notice that crossing age 40 I can't eat as much and loose extra off as quick as I used to, due to body changing and slowing down. I am still working on making adjustments to eating smaller portions.

TubbsMcGee

I wear a size 27 / size 5 (sometimes 3) in jeans, too.
I'm 5'7'' and 122 lbs, 23 years old--no kids.

IronDame

I'm 5'4 and can weigh anywhere between 125-135 and fit into my 5s.
It's not just about the weight...inches don't always equal weight. I lift weights and that changes the inches of my body depending on my lifting plan.

Wow! You are blessed! Even my shoe size changed from a 7 to an 8! lol My pelvis definitely spread out and I weigh less than I did when I got pregnant with both of my kids. Maybe b/c I'm short? Maybe because I didn't start having kids until I was older? In any case, I don't think I'm alone in having my body permanently change after childbirth despite eating healthy, breastfeeding and exercising daily.

Sh0ewh0re7_BlingItOn

I'm 5'4" 123 lb and wear a 3-4-5 My problem is my thighs! Size 5 fits my thighs but is too big in the waist and the 3's fit in the waist but are too tight in the thighs!

THIS^^^!!!! I'm 5'3.5 123-128 (depending on where in my TOM I am )...and can wear US Junior size 5 and very rarely a 3 or Womens sizes 2, 4, or 6 (UK sizes 26/27/28) depending on the style, cut, store. And I ALWAYS have the too big in the waist good in the thigh or vice versa dilema!!! BABY GOT BACK!!!!!

casandrasdsd

Im 5ft 4in 153lb and wear a size 12 in New york and co jeans. They are starting to get baggy and fall down. I always say my shape is an egg on sticks lol. I have in shape legs but a big belly I am working on getting rid of.

Same weight and height but opposite shape-teeny tiny waist but huge hips and thighs.

For those of you in a size 5 in the 150's - what is your bodyfat percentage? And if it's anywhere near mine (30% or so) where are you carrying your weight? Your arms? your fingers? Your face? lol I know it sounds weird but I'd only be a size 5 if I weighed 120 or so, IF that. I can't fathom wearing one at this weight!

bgelliott

I'm 5'1", 126lbs and I wear a size 3 in "no name" and "Levi's" but when it comes to designer/brand name jeans I'm a size 5.

yksdoris

I wear W27 Levi Demi Curve's, am 154 cm tall (that's 5'1) and currently weigh 56.4 kg (that's 125 lb)

those are currently the only pants that fit me well. Aside from gym pants, that is.

trophywife24

I'm 5'2 and wear size 5 jeans and I weigh 157.

Also depends what brand of jeans you're talking about.

Wow! I'm 5'2 and when I weighed 157 I was a 12/14. Bodies are wild.

I'm 124 and am a 6 in ladies or 7 in juniors.
