    Hello!
    I'm 5'2.5" my CW is 156, and I wear size 10 jeans, but can also fit some size 8. When I weighed about 115 (20 yrs ago lol) I could wear a 4 in designer jeans, but usually needed a size 6 to be comfortable.

    My goal is about 130, and I think I will be able to wear a 6. I have wide hips, even in high school weighing about 110 lbs, my measurements were 36-25-37. I'm bootylicious, lol. I think it depends on body shape, not weight or height.

    I wear a 1, 3, or 5 depending on the cut and I am 5'4" 110 pounds. I have hips though, so that accounts for the bigger size sometimes.

    It's all so relative to your body type. I'm 135lb, 5'2", and firmly in size 10s. I don't expect to fall below size 8s, even when I drop another 10lbs. I haven't seen size 5s since the 7th grade, at 110lbs. i'm just too curvy for it.

    I'm wearing my only pair of size 5's right now. Not many will fit me because junior cuts aren't the greatest for my hourglass figure (read, wide hips), but I do wear mostly 4's and 6's in women's jeans.

    I'm 5'5", 135.

    I'm 5'4", 132 lbs, and wear a size 5/27 in Miss Me and Silver jeans. I could go down to a 26, but figure I'll wait til I'm close to my goal weight (125 lbs).

    I'm 5'5, 130 lbs and wear a size 5. I can squeeze into a 3 occasionally if they're a weird fit.

    I'm 270, 5'7, and in size 14...I question why I weigh so much when I'm just barely plus size.

    5'6", 145 pounds. Size 8 (29). I still have @10 pounds to go, and i'm hoping it all comes off of my middle. if not...Maybe after the tummy tuck I'll be able to get into a 5. :laugh: :laugh:

    5'10, 126Ibs, 25inch waist, fit a uk size 6, usa size 2 I guess. Sometimes need slightly bigger though. I envy those with tiny 23/24 inch waists who can fit a 0.

    I'm getting confused with US sizing & I didn't know that a size 5 = 27". I'm 5'2, 56kg (124 lbs.) and my waist is 26" & I wear a size 25-27" or Euro size 34-36 jeans (US 0-4) depending on the cut and sizing. My US made jeans range from size 0-4 though the 4's are too loose on me.

    I don't live in the US and jean sizes here depend on your actual waistline like what I stated above.

    I am 5'6" weigh 158 and I wear a size 5 in most brands and a size 6 in Levi's. I am a medium build and I have had 3 kids over the past 22 years :) I can get in a size 3/4 but am more comfy in a 5/6 . The last time I was wearing this size I was 17 yrs. old!!

    Well, I take back my previous answer! I always buy jeans at the thrift store, so I've only gotten size 6. I actually went to the mall last night and tried some on. I can't believe how thin the material is and how stretchy they are! I was shocked to fit into a 27! (I also didn't know they sold them by that size now). I got skinny jeans from Forever 21. All of my thrift store jeans are older and a heavier denim with less stretch. I'm curious to try another store now and see what 5's are like these days. I haven't tried on a size 5 since 2000 probably! lol (I'm 5'4 and 131 lbs...27.5 inch waist and 35 inch hips).

    Not to burst any bubbles, but there is something called "vanity sizing" that has been going on over the past 20 years, with variances in sizes being up to 2 inches than what they are usually supposed to be. The size 4 of today is really a size 6, and the 6 is really an 8.

    Chances are, especially with these stats I'm seeing, that you actually wear a larger size than the jeans you buy. There is NOTHING wrong with that. What matters is that you are looking good IN your clothes.

    I'm 4'11" and 112 lbs. and currently wear a size 5 short jeans. Could be smaller if it wasn't for my protruding hip bones and my extra belly skin (TMI).

    Word on the vanity sizing. In general, the cheaper the pants, the bigger they're going to be compared to their label size.

    I've found the complete opposite. The cheaper the pant, the smaller the fit. IMO.

    Wow! Reading everyone's stats was a good reminder to focus more on how I feel in clothing than looking at the scale. Hourglass shape. 34-27-35. I'm 5'2", 143lbs and goal at 125-130. I wear a 27 in sevens jeans and a size 4, short in Levi's.

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

    This just goes to show that we all carry our weight differently! I'm such a PEAR that at 5'6'' and 154 pounds I was a 12 or 14, depending on the brand, and will NEVER be a size 5.

    (sorry for hijacking thread, this was just really eye-opening for me! You look great, BTW)
