    I am 5'4 and I weigh roughly 129lbs and I wear a uk size 12 bottoms in most shops (since having kids my hips have stayed big) but still have to get a 14 in some shops on top cos I haven't lost my lady humps lol
    But to be honest it's just a number the way shops are now you are rarely the same size in every shop so try not to let it rule your life as long as you feel comfortable in the clothes you are wearing it doesn't matter and no one will know ???? ????????
    (I know people who have squeezed into a smaller size just because it's a smaller size the golden size they had always wanted to be and you could tell ????)

    I am 5'2" inches (rounding up) and 199 lbs. I am quite busty. I wear a 16/18 in dresses, a 14/16 in pants, and an XL in tops (18 in button down blouses). It should be noted that I could probably wear a XXL in some tops, but I refuse to buy anything with 2 X's in it. That's just that.

    When I was 165 lbs I wore a size 8, 10, 12, and 14. 10/12 fitting the best.

    Now I've just had a baby and am at 186 lbs. I can wear some looser fitting dresses but I haven't even tried to go dress shopping. I want to get back to where I was first.

    ETA: I'm 5'7"

    I'm 5'8" and between 140/145 lb
    I got size small dresses the other day and would usually get a size 4 or the odd time a size 6.
    I have on size 4 jeans right now, however my shorts are size 4 and too big in the waist but I have muscular thighs.

    Started at 283, down to 244.8.

    I was busting out of 24s back then, but now I am easily a 20 or 22, depending on the manufacturer. I also fit into some 18s. Come a long way, but I have much more to go!

    I'm 6' and 291lbs...and this is why I hate sizing:

    I have a pair of jeans that are a size 20 that literally FALL OFF me.
    I bought shorts in the same brand, had to get a size 22 to get them to fit.
    In some dresses, depending on cut, I'm a 20, but I have some that are 18's that fit wonderfully. ETA: I got a designer pin up style retro fit dress a couple weeks ago. They do their sizes S, M, L, XL, 2XL, etc. In most clothes, an XL fits but is a bit snug. The dress I got? 4XL!! Ridiculous.
    I went to buy smaller jeans and the 18s barely fit. Soooo I dunno.

    I'm current 5'10'' and 220 (size 16w). At my thinnest, I was 147 and was a size 12. I'm a big girl so it's not really possible for me to go any smaller.

    I'm 155lbs and a size 12 in most shops (Topshop, ASOS, etc) but in some shops (such as Dorothy Perkins) I can fit into a 10.

    I have not weighed myself since June 25, because I started my diet July 5 and I am not going to weigh myself until August. I started the diet at 121 lbs. and my goal weight is 112 (8 stone). I will still be a size 4 (USA). I am 5' 3 1/2."

    I am currently 220lbs and the last time I wore a dress I failed to check what size it was.

    What size are the gowns at the dr office? Do those count? Whatever size that is its pretty big on me so I know I fit into dresses smaller than that.

    I'm 5'4: and usually weigh around 142 and wear a size 4 or 6 depending on the brand. I exercise a lot so I've got quite a bit of muscle and my body fat is usually around 20-21%. In shirts usually a small but if it's fitted sometimes a med to make a little extra room for "the girls". I used to weigh a lot less to be this size but now I tend to weigh more to be the same size due to the muscle.

    I'm 5 ft 6, I weight 220 lbs and I wear an XL tshirt (men's size, I guess..girly sizes I still need a 2x in some brands and a 1x in others) and at 18 (USA) in jeans.

    Before I started myfitnesspal I was 275 and wore somewhere between a 20 and 22.

    What's crazy is that I just bought a dress for a wedding that was a size 24. These sizes seem so arbitrary.

    13 stone 6 (188 lbs) and a UK size 16 (US 14). :) My size 16 trousers are a bit big on me, but I doubt I'd fit into a 14 yet.

    I'm 5'5" and currently 182 pounds. I was recently in a wedding and wore a US size 14 bridesmaid's dress. Most of my pants are size 12, dresses 14, and tops L/XL or 12/14. I used to be a distance swimmer and have very broad shoulders and a large flared ribcage (yay genetics!), which combined with my boobs make me large up top, but I also have muscular, dense little leggies. Ugh! =P

    5'8" currently 142lbs, 10st 2lbs and size US 4-6, UK 8-10. I have a fairly small frame. (Edit: depending on the brand I can differ in between 3 sizes! It's not very reliable esp with vanity sizing these days)

    I'm 5'10 and 210 lbs.

    I'm a 16(US) in pants. My big butt is currently conspiring against me in moving down to a size 14.
    For tops, I can wear Large in t-shirts, but have to get XL in structured shirts because my arms are super beefy, and my boobs make the buttons on a Large peep open.
    I'm a 14/16 (US) in dresses, depending on the material and the cut. Anything that is too slim in the hip/butt doesn't work for me.

    At my biggest (260 lbs), I was a size 18/1X (US)
    At my slimmest (175 lbs), I was a size 12/Medium (US)

    I'm 5'5 and 218. I wear L to XL shirts. Since losing weight I've become more confident so sweaters are slowing going away! :P As for pants, shorts I wear size 18. 16 are too small and 18 are a lil lose but with a belt are fine. I just don't want muffin tops. At my biggest (240 lbs) size 20 pants and 1X shirts. At my smallest (115 lbs) size 6/8 pants and S/XS shirts
