    My heaviest was 191. I wore size 12-14 on the bottom but size 8-10 (sometimes even 6) on top. Total pear shape! I'm 5'5".

    I'm 194 right now ... I wear between 12 and 14. I'm 5'5" My work pants are size 14, my jeans are size 12.

    For tops, I wear large comfortably. Some mediums fit, but I don't wear them out of the house. I'm a bit self conscious of my "new mommy" flab.

    I'm at 194, I am 5'3" tall. These posts make me wish I were taller too - I wear a size 16 jean (sometimes 14 - depends on the jeans) and XL shirts (I'm a 40D).

    Can't wait til I am in size 14 jeans - and sometimes 12s, lol.

    Wow, what an interesting post. When I was high 180's, I wore size 18s. And I am 5'7". I carry a lot of weight on my hips though.

    Sizes are so individual so It can be hard to figure out what size you should buy. A case in point - I was 5'7 and was underweight at 102 pounds with a size d cup. I had an hourglass figure even being the skin and bones I was at 102. My point - I was a size 10 !!!
    Hip, breast and height are individual and matter to your size. So Just go in the store - ignore the sizes and buy what fits. :-)

    I am 5'4" and I have pants that are 10's and some that are 12's and 14's. I bought a dress for a wedding last week that was a 16 b/c with DD's the top was too small in a 14. I actually find that I like the Lane Bryant 14/16 shirts the best b/c with the DD's they have the length to them to not ride up. I hate when my shirts look too short! All brands are so different in size that I don't even care about that any more. I want what makes me look good!!

    I'm 5'5.5 and at 195 lbs I wore a tight size 12 and loose/comfortable size 14.

    Now I'm 170 and wearing a comfortable size 12 and a tight size 10 (well.... only one pair of size 10s that fit me...haha)

    Tops were all size Large. They still are, but I'm just starting to venture into Mediums depending on the brand...

    I'm 5'8", weighing in at 179.

    I wear a 16 bottom but they are too big on me. Starting to buy 14's now. and a medium to large shirt.

    I wear a size 12 dress.

    At 195 I was still in my 18's but they were baggy as well.

    Bump.... I'll have to come back to this. I never weighed myself after I was 175 until I joined MFP and found out that instead of being 175ish, I was actually 263! :noway:

    But I know that I was size 18 at 175 and slowly crept up to size 24 without mentally processing that fact. So my best guess is size 20.

    Size is really based a lot on height. I'm 5'2" and at 195, I was a US size 18.

    ^Exactly this. Sometimes I can fit into a sixteen depending on brand.
