    I fit into an XL now at 188 but a lot of XL shirts don't fit over my boobs.

    I'm 5' and 164 and wear an XL.. Being short has its disadvantages!

    Go try them on! I wear a 16 pants and XL shirt, including some UA tech shirts. I weigh 220 and am 5'6".

    haha lucky you! I still wear a 2 or 3X and I'm 212 and 5'2 =/ and size 16 pants. It's the damn boobs...

    I'm 250 and wear XL shirts - but I normally wear unisex tshirts that are XL. If I was buying regular womens shirts, I'd probably be a 2XL. Boo.

    I am wondering what weight everyone was when they could fit into an XL shirt?

    I can't remember when I was last able to fit into an XL shirt (if ever).
    and I would love to be able to shop at 'normal' stores that sell up to XL shirts or get some of the cute underarmor gear!



    Well, I don't recall what weight I was when I fit into some XL's. The sizing is all whacky different for each maker. I still have a few tee shirts that fit me nicely now. I am currently in the higher end of the 150's.

    I think it all has to do with bust, I am 225 and still have to wear 2xl tops but can fit inot xl bottoms. It seems as if Xl is around 40-46 inch chest so measure yours and see if your there yet

    I am a pear shape, so while I could technically wear an XL shirt tucked in at 200, I couldn't wear one loose over my jeans until I was about 180. I'm 5'6".

    I would say I was in mid 190's when I wore an XL (at 5'4").
    About every 8-10 pounds I go down a size top. I'm in L now, but in pants I can wear size 10-12.
    I too need a larger size on top because of my chest. My legs are smaller and hips are narrower than my shoulders.
    :ohwell:

    Oh my, I'm 5'2 and was around 130-134 lbs when I fit into an XL shirt.. I'm Asian, so I guess most of our body build borders the small and petite... The XL shirts are still kinda small, if you think about it.. :ohwell:

    I think it depends on whether you're in the juniors, women's section or just a random section of the store. Sizes are impossible to deal with nowadays. I usually grab an XL from the rack and measure it against my hips. I need more as I'm busty but I'm also curvy. Basically, if you're in juniors - you may as well walk out of that section. They make an XL that's more like a size small in the regular women's section.

    Wow, big jumps from 150 - 250!

    I know I personally could wear 18 sized jeans at 250 and when I started at 330 I could wear a mens XL and I wear a 2X in womens right now at 300. So I am hoping I could fit into XL around 230 - 240.

    I see a big discrepancy in weights for people who are wearing an XL. I am currently 218 and 5' 8" and there is NO WAY that I can fit into a regular ladies size XL unless I really want to look like I'm wearing a sprayed on shirt. Not my idea of looking good! Someone said that different brand names fit differently which is probably true. I am not a brand name shopper. I'm looking at ladies XL at places like WalMart or KMart etc. not in boutique stores.

    It depends on the shops too. I'm a M on average, but in some shops like Supre (in Aussie) I'm an XXL. I'm 145 lb and 5"2. Just go in and try them on, each brand is different.

    I'm 5'3" and have broad shoulders. The last time I was in an XL I was probably 180 to 190.

    I'm wearing one right now! I'm five one 1/2, 250+ and I'm a 42B. Pants are a b*tch - got a pair from Arizona Mail Order today, they're 3X and when I sit down, they HURT!! Got a few more pounds to go before fitting into those robins-egg-blue babies. Gotta chop off at least four inches and hem the legs anyway...
