How tall are you?0

It really depends on the person. There is a very wide range. Especially since you haven't even specified a height.0

Depends on your height, frame, shape, how muscular you are...
Also, it's not obvious from your profile where you are from. Different countries have different sizing systems. Eg. a 12 in the US would be bigger than a 12 in the UK.0 -
I'm 5'7", and about 150-160 is a size 12 for me. I'm also majorly pear shaped.0

The more muscular you are, the smaller size you are at a particular weight. Muscle is denser than fat.
You can have two women who are the same dress size, but one of them weighs 30lb more than the other. And the one who weighs 30lb more would be healthier and look better, because muscle makes women look fit and toned, it also means stronger bones.
I'm personally aiming to be as heavy as I can at a goal dress size, rather than any particular weight. When it comes to bones and muscles, heavier = healthier. When it comes to body fat of course heavier = more of it = not so healthy. You have to balance out the two things. I'm aiming for stronger, heavier bones and muscles and body fat at the low end of the healthy range. I'm expecting my weight to be in the heavy end of BMI by the time I get there, but I'm less bothered about weight, more bothered about being strong, fit and having a low (but still in the healthy range) body fat percentage.0 -
I swear it depends on height, weight, hip size, boob size, and anything else....sorry I could not be a woman but you can do it!!!!0

I'm 5' 5" and 164 and can get into some 10's but usually wear a 12. I could probably get into a 12 around 170.0

That sounds about right. I'm 5'5" and hover in the 170-173 range and am pretty solidly a US size 12. Of course, some brands/stores range differently, but that's the size I always start with and generally tend to fit.0
-
I'd say it depends on how tall you are and how you are built. I'm 5'9 with an athletic build (little difference between my waist and hips with full thighs) and I fit a 12.0

Depends how tall you are and how muscular i suppose. I weigh 156lb at the moment and am a size 10 uk0
-
I'm 5'3" and weigh 160 pounds. I wear a US size 10 pants - sometimes an 8, depending on the cut. My dress size is pretty much a solid 10. I wear M or L shirts, again, depending on the cut.
As everyone else has said - it really depends on your body type. I am short, but have a medium/large frame and have a good amount of muscle.0 -
I am 5'6 and 180 atm. I wear a size 10/12 dress and I don't have many problems fitting into a size 12 jeans, especially if it is a "curvy" cut.0

I'm 5'5" and just started fitting into a size 12, at 192. But I've always weighed more than I look too. My sister, who is 5'6" and 160-165, also wears a 12.0
-
I'm 5'2 and the mid 150s put me in a 12.0
-
I am in a size 12. Height: 5'9", weight: 174 with an hour glass shape.0
-
I'm 5'4" and 162 pounds, I have a small waist and big hips. I have a few pairs of size 10 items, but mostly 12's. I have been wearing a 12 since I hit around 175ish.0

That, to me, is almost impossible to answer. I wear a 10 and weight 168. Someone else might be a 10 at 150, and someone else at 200. Everyone's body carries weight so differently, and everyone has a different build.0

This. It depends on the cut and how you carry the weight though. I just picked up a pair of BDU pants in a size 14. I tried the 12 but they did that weird pulling thing across the tummy/crotch.
I'm a 12 when I'm in the 148 - 155 range. Anything above that is questionable.
I'm a 10 when I'm 138, because I carry it in my hips and thighs.
If you're an apple and carry weight on the top half, you might be a smaller pant size at the same weight as someone who's a pear.0 -
I'm 5'9 and when I'm 160-170 lbs. I'm usually a size 12...
