    Hips - 39in
    I don't keep track of other measurements. As long as I can wear my size 4 jeans comfortably and things for work still fit, I'm happy!

    I don't intend to be mean or insult you in any way, but I have to question if there is a typo here. There's no way 39 inch hips get into a size 4 jeans. I don't know of any brand that runs like that. Even Levi's size 4's are 36 1/2- 37 1/2" hip.

    Well, let's see. I have 3 Old Navy pairs (1 Dreamer, 2 Sweetheart), 1 pair of New York and Company, and one pair of Ann Taylor Loft. I was in White House/Black Market and needed a 4 in black velvet skinny pants too. You need pictures?

    As I said, I wasn't trying to be MEAN, I was confused as the numbers just don't seem to work. I guess Old Navy just misleads to make people order the wrong size? Even they say 39 hip is size 8, and size 4 is 37. (http://oldnavy.gap.com/customerService/info.do?cid=83042&cs=size_charts&mlink=5151,5838218,4&clink=5838218) I'd be pretty pissed off if every time I ordered a size 4 expecting it to fit, it was 2 inches too big. But... I don't wear a size 4, so I guess I don't have to worry about it. If you can somehow make it work, more power to you.

    Maybe I'm just measuring at the wrong place, I don't know. Seriously, I don't even know why it would be debated. I think the whole crap about vanity sizing is a myth since I typically have no issue fitting into a 4 or a 6 in ANY store, not just Old Navy, not just NY and Company, not just JC Penny. I don't even know why anyone would care...I'm proud of my progress and I'm not wild about calling me out about being a big fat liar. But thanks, you made my day...

    I am 5'9".

    My current weight is about 166-167.
    My measurements are:
    Bust - 36 inches
    Waist: 29.5 inches
    Hips:39.5(if measured at the low-rise, around the biggest part of my bum, I'm more of a 42, lol)

    I'd like to be about 140 pounds, and healthy. I'm not too picky about the measurements. I currently fit a size 13 in pants, M/L in tops, and slightly smaller in dresses... it really depends on the store. I'd love to fit a size 6/8, if possible, but I'd be thankful for anything below a size 13. I can't remember the last time I wore anything smaller, haha, so that would be a big accomplishment for me!

    Probably a bit of a stretchy fabric too in your pants so if your hips are a little bigger, they'd still fit because they will form to your body....depending on the style of jeans too, it may not matter as much what your hip size is....it goes by your waist, am I right? So in that case I could see a size 4 fitting you for sure.

    OK so I am 5'9"
    weight 193
    waist is 43.5
    hips 43.5
    thighs 23.5
    arms 13

    Can sure tell where my problem area lies....in a year I gained 2 inches on my belly but my weight is the same now as when my waist was 2 inches smaller....kind of a wake up really, because I know I need to do some exercises that target my belly!!!
