Torrid 28

55" chest

48” waist

57” low hip



Target

Size 4x

Chest 51.5-53

Waist 49-51

Hip 55-56.75




Lane Bryant

Size 28

Chest 54

Waist 48


Low Hip 56




Bras 48.5 56.5 48 G







So according to the size charts I'm too fat to fit anything..

Waist 56.5

Hips 59

chest 57


I feel horrible I didn’t realize I was this big outside what the fashion industry considers too big to manufacture for. I can squeeze into a 28 and personally I never thought it was that bad. I guess this is a eye opener for me to try harder and be able to shop at any store that offers plus size fashion. What is everyone else measurements I'm 316 and well I thought a size 28. My clothing is never tight too!! I guess it's a hit or miss.

    It is ironic since main stream media says we as Americans are fatter than ever!:laugh:

    With that said, you are here and that is what is important! Beauty is on the inside! A number does NOT define you!:love:

    I think the vast majority on MFP'ers are here to gain or regain their health! That IS most important!:wink:

    Stick to your calorie goals, watch your macros and move more! You will be below those numbers before you know it!

    Best of luck!!!!:flowerforyou:

    Good for you for coming here to start doing something about it. Chances are actually going into some of these stories and trying a few things on will net you something to tide you over in the meantime. If there is one thing I've learned about clothing manufacturers, it's that they can't measure to save their lives.

    Hit or miss - women's clothing of all sizes is not true to size. Only way to go is to try it on. It is just as bad at the low end - I have a friend who is a true size 4 according to the charts but would have to by a 2 or a 0 because the sizes do not hold true. So, do not feel so put out (plus fab outfit in your profile pict :smile: )

    It is hard to tell much by size chart measurements. According to size charts, my hips are 4.5 inches too big for the jeans that currently fit me perfectly.

    Love your outfit in your profile picture!
