I am currently 148 lbs wearing a pant size of 8-9 and a shirt size small/medium. I am hoping to eventually weigh 135 lbs and be a pant size 4-6 and a small in shirts comfortably.
I was just curious what pant and shirt sizes other tall girls are and their weights as well.

---- Yes I do understand everyone's body is different.. but out of curiousity I wanted to hear the sizes of women around my height. :bigsmile:

    I'm 5' 6" but a lot heavier than you (170). I wear a pant size 10 or 12 and a medium/large shirt.

    5'7" and when I weighed 136lbs I was wearing a size 7 pants and medium tops. Now that I am 8 months pregnant and weigh 158 lbs, I am wearing my larger sized 9 jeans and am still luckily in my medium tops.

    I'm 5'7", maintaining 152 (+-2lbs) I'm between medium and small tops. Medium is plenty roomy, small is snug (like yoga tops and such) and 7 pants. Can't button the 6, 8 is loose.

    So I want to be one size, not between!

    I'm 5' 8", 193, and I wear L/XL (since my bust is big at 36DD and my shoulders are broad) on top and a 12 on bottom.

    5'8", 137lbs, dress/pants size US 4/6, shirt size XS-S. It depends on the brand as there is a lot of vanity sizing these days :/

    5'7" here. When I was 135 I wore a 2 in pants, and an XS in tops. Currently 156 (with a lot less muscle mass sadly) and size 8/10 in pants and a L in tops. I carry most of my weight in my stomach.

    I'm 5'6" and 143 lbs.. Right now I'm wearing a size 8 in pants and a small/medium shirt. I like wearing mediums because they're longer.

    I found that my size varies a lot, depending on the different brands. This:

    is a useful tool to see the various "vanity sizings" that are happening at different brands.
