    I'm 5'7" and 160. I wear size 10 in most things, but occasionally 12 or 8 depending on fit. Women's medium in clothes that go S/M/L. Again, sometimes large depending on how it's cut. My bra size is currently unknown. I still have one 36C that fits fairly well, and a drawer full of others in that size that are anywhere from a bit too big to laughably too big. Tried on a bunch of bras yesterday and gave up because nothing fit--I've decided to make do until I get to goal weight, then get fitted properly.

    I'm 5'6", and around 170 lbs. (~27% body fat, by one calculator)
    I wear a US size 10/12 and 32ish (34's are generally too big, 32's are a little small).
    At 160, I am almost tend more towards a size 10 and 32's fit better.
    Shirts: size large, and a bra ... ? No idea. I have a hard time bra shopping, because I have small breasts and am heavier (36 A's practically don't exist, hahaha.) The other day, I measured beneath my breasts as 34" around, but I am definitely not a 34 A.

    I wore a size 8 US and a 36D at that weight if I'm remembering correctly (I'm 5'6" too)!
    I'm 131 lbs now and I wear a 2 US and I'm wearing a 34D but it's getting big, I'd guess that I'm either a 32D or 34C right now! At my heighest weight of 185 I wore a 36DD!

    Im 5'2' and weigh around 237. I wear a size 20 pants and they are tight lol. My shirts are xxl and my bra is 40DDD. Cant wait to update this with a smaller sizes. Im also curious if girls my same height and weight wear about the same size. Everyone carries weight so differently and Im always looking at other people in public thinking, do I look like that?, am I that size.

    am 5'4 or 5'5, not sure.I weigh 151, I just bought new pants and capri.US size. 7/8 I think we are all shaped different, so some sizes fit different on others. My bra size is UMMM don't know, my boobs have lost weight too. all my bras are big.but I am a 36 c..like I said they are to big and I don't want to buy any more.I am 1 lb away from my goal #2..then I want to go lower, around 140 mark. I am at a stand still now, the scale just wont move, I stay at 151 or 152, I weigh everyday. or atleast every other day. aaand I walk every day, 30 min, but lately it has been on 20 min walk, maybe thats why the scale wont move..ugh!!! I don;t eat all my cal a day, never had.I know I am not getting all the calories I need,but I dont want to eat them all.I stay below 1250 a day, totally wrong I know. I have only wetn off this diet 1 time in 3 months, my Anniversary, I didn't eat, but I dran margaritas, that slowed me way down, had to worrk extra hard that week.I didn't have juts 1, I had 5.lol...I say was due for a drink.lol..Good luck.

    Sizing can be relative by company.

    This link has a bunch of different charts for US sizing.

    The one at the very bottom is supposed to be standard for catalogs. It has estimated weights per size as well as measurements.

    I'm 5'5 and 237 and I wear the same size as you do! Tight in the waist and freaking loose as hell on my thighs and butt. That's even in "skinny" jeans. I'm cursed until I lose the belly weight which is my #1 problem area! My bra is 42D though. :)
