what size did you wear at 125 lb 5'4"

MJ7910

just curious. i know it varies considerably but just wondered the brand/size
i am in 5's and can fit into 6's and one pair of 4's (levis) and some 4's in express (but i know those run large)

I'm just under 5'4 and the lowest I've been was 130lb and I was in small 8s and some 6s. That's NZ sizes so the equiv of small 4s and some 2s US sizes.

this is why i think i need to lower my body fat a little bit... i think i should be able to wear mostly 4's and 2's at this weight.

I usually wear 2 or 4 from express/gap. 28" for jeans with waist size. Right now I am sitting at 134, but clothes stayed the same at my lowest 124

It depends on where your body distributes your weight... are you apple shaped? If you carry weight around your middle section, the smaller sizes won't be able to button at your waist. Weight on the scale is just a number. What are your measurements? I would put someone at that height around a 4 or 6. I know someone who is that height/weight and she wears a larger pant size than me, and I have 10 lbs on her, easily.

My mom is 5'5" and about 125, she wears a size 2...skinny *kitten* that woman is...

I'm 5'5 and was 127.5 on Monday. I wear 5/6's and they fit really well at the beginning and then become baggy after a few hours. I have tried on some 3/4's and they fit, but are a little tight for my comfort level.

It all depends on your body shape, too though.
I could get back down to 130lb now (although I'm not aiming for it by any means) but I'm 10 years and 2 kids older. My body was still developing back then (@17) and my hips are wider now too. I'd never get much smaller than a NZ10/US6 now just because of my hips, no matter what weight.

Depending on body type, size can vary.

exactly! my waist is 28-29 depending on the day. my hips are 35-36... you would think i could wear 2's and 4's but i do carry weight around the middle. i hate that! wish i could change up how things are distributed. i look like a boy with no waist

When I was 135 (5'3) I still wore a size 8. I don't have much of a butt, and my stomach was fairly flat. I could have probably lost a little more weight but I was extremely happy were I was at.

I am 5'4". When I used to be 130ish lb, I can only fit into a size 8 pants. It doesn't help that I have pear shaped body. My hip/butt won't let me fit into anything smaller

i'm pregnant now. but when i was 133-ish i wore 2's from american eagle. some 4's depending on cut.

If your waist is a 28-29, that would put you in a 4-6. That's why you can't get into a 2. Size 2 is generally a 25-26 inch waist. I have a 27.5 inch waist and I wear a 6 generally, sometimes a 4, my butt is my issue so if the hips are free or stretchy, I wear a smaller size.

MJ7910

i can wear low rise pretty well but anythign that is a normal cut i have to wear a larger size because of having no waist.

I'm 5'5" and when I was in junior high/high school I weighed 115-125 and I don't remember every being smaller than a 7. *Maybe* in junior high I was a 5. But, I've always had good sized hips and booty. When I was 130ish I did fit into a size 4 pair of Banana Republic jeans. My goal is to get back into them!

miss_missa07

I haven't been 125 for about 10 years, but when I was 125 I wore a size 6. I have a feeling that if I were to get back down to 125 now, though, that I would be a little bigger, just because I've matured more since then.

5"2 1/2 115 wear 3. my mom is 5"4 130 and wears a 3-5 it depends on your portioning..besides,pants size matters none..If your healthy and fit.

MJ7910

it's so hard to tell anyway with all this vanity sizing! i wish they'd just use waist/hips... i wouldn't really care, at least i'd know what size to buy

I am 125 ish and 5'5" and wear a UK 8, US 2.
