What are your measurements/weight/height

Every so often there will a thread (Usually that starts "Ladies" or "Women Only.) that asks for your weight and pants size. People will steam in, give varying weights and pants sizes and inevitably someone will follow up with "Well I'm XXX and I'm a size XX so you're all wrong, that's just impossible. Must be vanity sizing." to remind us all that we're all bigger than we think. You'll also get some people who wear Jr's/odd numbered sizes which skews things as well (Since Junior sizes are slimmer cut.)

So I say we get to the heart of the matter: Measurements. Your pants size may lie, but your measuring tape won't. This is a chance to see what other people (not just women.) actually measure in at, without the issues of vanity sizing, junior sizes, and sizing in various countries. I'm hoping this may even lead into interesting discussions about the differences in body shape and muscle mass.


Height: 5'3"-5'2.5"
Weight: 147 this morning
Bust: 36
Waist: 27.5
Belly button: 31.5
Hips: 39.5

I fit into a 6 pretty comfortably most places I shop (TJ Maxx, Marshell's, Macy's) And a Small/2/4 at Old Navy, where sizing makes no sense but the sports bras are comfy.

    How does your height vary?

    I'm 5'2
    Chest 34
    Waist 30
    Hips 37
    Been maintaining at 135 for a while, would like to get to 130.


    I fit a UK 8-10 (thats a Us 4-6), but I try clothes on and see if they fit without being dictated to by the number on teh label - it varies so much from one shop to another.

    You've never been one place and gotten one number and then been somewhere else (a different doctor or something) and gotten a slightly different number?

    I just started fitting comfortably in my size 8's (which was a BIG deal for me). I'd like to get down to a size 4. I'm very busty, so I rarely wear smaller than a large simply to fit my boobies. Luckily I know how to sew, so I can take in most of my clothes! I know they aren't going anywhere either. Even when I was smaller, they were there. But I want to lose at least 4 inches in my bust so I can wear a medium. I want to keep my booty, so I'm hoping to go down in my hips, but not a ton. I'm in the US!

    I'm still fat, but here goes:

    Height: 5'3"
    Weight: 219lbs
    Bust: 44 inches
    Waist: 40.25 inches
    Hips: 51 inches

    My under bust measurement is 36, for bras I wear 36DDD or 36G. In other words, I'm very bottom heavy except for my boobs. For tops right now I am generally a size 16, XL, for bottoms I'm usually an 18.

    I've lost almost exactly 10" from each measurement. So, my proportions haven't changed all that much.

    5'4", 116 lb. bust 32" / waist 23.5" / hips 34". belly button 26.5". wearing a 0 most of the time, sometimes a 00 or 2.

    the really interesting part: a few years ago when I was underweight, I was 95 lb. / 31" bust / 22.5" waist / 32.5" hips... 20 pounds lighter than now, but only 1-1.5" smaller at each measurement site. wearing a 00-0 at that time. 80% of the clothes I wore then still fit now, though a few things are tighter in the butt, thighs and upper arms. i didn't lift then. I lift heavy now. muscle is remarkable stuff :) was always one of those girls who believed the "lifting makes you bulky" myth--until I tried :)

    yes i wish clothing just went based on measurements because it is a pain to wear several different sizes depending where you shop!

    height: 5'4"
    weight: 108
    bust: 32
    waist: 23.5
    hips: 31

    i shop at thrift stores, i found several pants originally from pac sun (juinors sizes) a 1 short fits best, a size 3 fits but a tad lose. at kohls i can fit into the 14/16 kids pants, same with limited too. if they are skinny jeans i need a 3 or 5 since they are tighter. shirts generally i wear a small because i have no boobs. i would say i wear anywhere then from a 14/16 kids to a size 3 (5 in skinny jeans usually is lose but fit okay around my thighs)

    I finally threw away my size 14 things and bought some size 12 pants. But reading some of the heights and measurements in this thread, maybe I should try on size 10!

    We are very similar, my measurements are literally 1-2 inches smaller, except for thighs and we're the same -- I am comfortably a 10 -- you definitely should try 10s or at least not buy too many 12s because you lose 5 pounds and you will be in 10s.

    I say give it a shot. Nothing to lose, except the time it takes you to try them on.

    When I was 5lbs lighter my bust went down to 30.6 AA and when laid down they just disappeared completely - then again they're not exactly obvious now! :sad: I only look a decent size when I buy an underwired & padded bra - without this it's a no no!
