Is there anyone about 5'5 and have size two pants? Do you feel to small? Im just curious because I was wondering if being at that size was a good look for someone 5'5. Thanks for any information!

    I believe a lot of actresses have those proportions...

    I am 5 ft 5 and at one point in my life I was at a size 4, after taking massive doses of ephedra for two years. But because of my build (I am hippy, busty and rear endy) size 4 was really too small. Size 6 would have been better, I am hoping to achieve that this time, without ephedra.

    I'm 5'7" and wear a size 2... I do feel very fit. Best shape of my life lol. Even at a 4 or 6 I felt great about my body.

    Than,s guys! I've always had a hard time with finding the right size for my build without being too small or too big. I guess I just need to find what's comfortable for me.

    It depends entirely on your body. I'm 5'5" but big boned and hippy (major pear shape), and while I don't know for sure, I'm fairly certain a size 2 on me would look sickly, if I could even get down that small.

    <--- a little under 5'6, and wear a size 2. I don't look or feel too small or "skinny".

    My friend is 5" and a British size 6, US 2. She sometimes is a size 4, size 0 and sometimes even that is big. However she is not skinny, far from it, she is quite curvy. She is just very petite with a small frame. Her weight is actually 'overweight' at the moment (barely though 25.1). That size would look ridiculous on me and lots of other people.

    5'5" and in a 4, I was feeling too skinny.... probably because of my age.. 55... I feel good if I get up to a 6, but don't want to get below a 4 for sure

    At 5'5, I will never be a size 2 in pants without becoming very ill or something. With less than 20% body fat I was not smaller than an 8.

    I don't think I could physically fit in a size 2 ever, but I have a large frame (30 inch waist, I could *maybe* lose one inch). Shouldn't be a problem with a small frame though.

    Don't know if this helps.. but I am 5'4 and I am wearing size 2/4 right now. This is a new size for me but I certainly don't look super thin... I have a lot of "meat still on my bones".

    I'm 5'5 and I wear a 4 but I was a 2 before and that is the size I want to be again. I was in the Army very fit at the time so I feel like a size 2 with the muscle I had did not look to small. Plus I have an hourglass build so even at my thinnest I always have a curvy appearance.

    I think however you feel comfortable is best. Just be sure you are not a size 2 and starving yourself to achieve it.

    you also need to realize MANY stores are now guilty of vanity sizing. In some stores you could be a 6 and in others you can be a 0 its how you feel that matters!

    it really depends more about body shape rather than height. I'm 5'5 and I cannot go smaller than a 5-6 because my hips are too big. I tried once, bruised my hip bones.

    5'5" 130 lbs and wear size 4 comfortably. Also best shape of my life - lots of muscle this time. I will easily get to a 2 since i am still at 25% Bf and recomping to muscle (slowly). I look "normal" for the first time ever.

    I'm 5'5" in a size 0/2 and I feel great! I have a small bone structure and body fat is about 17-18%.

    ^^ this. I walked into an Old Navy recently wearing an old pair of their shorts in a size 4 and all the 0s I tried on were too big. Most low-cost brands run their sizes crazy big these days. I'm a 0-2 in Target-type-store clothes, but a 4-6 in really high-end stuff (I'm 5'1" and 108 lbs). So as long as you're healthy, then no, you're not too skinny.

    I find this is the opposite in the UK. Primark sizes are tiny. I might need to go 2 sizes up (14-16 or even 18) but more expensive shops like Marks & Spencers I can fit into a size 10! I thought it was because cheaper shops want to use less material and people don't want to buy a size bigger so just squeeze into them.
