Today I'm 174lbs, and a size 14, or XL.
I'm 5'8" and not very fit a the moment. I'd like to be 140 something, solid, and a size 8. I'm not busty so when I get down to that size 8 there will be nothing left. LOL0 -
Hehe lol id like to get to a 10 i think if i can. My chest will be on my knees by then lol0

Hi, I am 5'4" tall and weigh 150 and wear a size 12 or Large dress. When I was 179 I was a 16. Hoping to loose another 20 lbs. None of that weight is in my boobs unfortunately. Ha ha0

5'4" 130 and size 2-4.
When I started at 163 I was a size 6 in a fit and flare dress, and could not really wear any kind of sheath because of my measurements (extreme pear).0 -

There's a website called mybodygallery.com which has a database of women based on height and weight. You can also search by clothes size. That might give you an idea of what the average clothes size is based on those factors. Otherwise there are just so many variables.0

Even on that site, you can see how many women look very different even at the same height and weight due to body composition. I've posted a few pictures on there. One time I forgot and when I went to search up popped my own torso...it caught me off guard ha!0 -
I was 5'2", 198 lbs. and a size 18. Now I'm 147 and a size 10!0

I'm 5'8", 148 lbs and wear a size 4. I was 155 and wore a 8/10. I've gained a lot of muscle since then!0

I am 5'7" and weigh 183, very busty. I wear a size misses 14. At my heaviest, 210, I wore a size 16 womens and they were starting to get tight. I'm mainly talking pants size since I mostly get pull over sweaters in xl.0

I'm 5'5" and weigh 151. Here in the US, I usually wear a size 8-10 dress (I still carry a little extra up top) or size 8 pants.0

I'm 5'4" and 156lbs. I'm a US size 6-8 because I care my weight in my bum and I buy dresses that are flowy. If I were to get a pencil skirt I'd probably be a 12.0

Im 5'5" 146lbs and a 6/8 dress... and im an hourglass shape0

I am 5'10", 209 pounds (14 stone, 13), very short legs/long torso, big chest. Also very muscular--all my my remaining fat is on my belly due to a medical issue.
Most of the dresses that I am wearing right now are US12/UK16. I wear a US 8S in jeans though. I've never bough jeans made in the UK, so I am not sure how that translates...maybe a UK 12?0 -
5' 7", 159lbs/11st 5lb, UK size 14 bottom, size 12 top. I've come down from 211lbs/15st 1lb, size 20 bottom, size 18 top. I did buy a size 12 dress this week but I only got away with it because it's not fitted in the slightest and hangs straight down off my bust.0

I'm 5'9 243lbs And I was 210 before I had my child. I use to wear a 14/16 now I'm a 20/220
-
I'm 5'4 and about 67kg and I wear UK 10 up top and 12-14 on the bottom.
Although one of my main factors for starting to loose weight was that at 70kg I was finding that 14 bottoms were too tight!0 -
I'm 5'3.5 and weigh 120lbs (8 stone) - wearing a dress size UK 8 (I believe a US 4), but in tighter clothes I buy a UK 10 (as my stomach is still not totally flat post childbirth) x0

I'm 5'5" and am 13st 1lb (183lb). 10lb ago, I was a UK size 18 (14 in US) trousers, size 16 (12 US size) tops, but a size 16 in skirts/dresses. I'd probably fit most size 16 trousers but my thunder thighs won't allow that! So I have always had to wear belts on a larger trouser size.
I've been told it's about a stone (14lb) per dress size, but I'm a pear shape, and carry far more of my excess weight in my lower half. I'm therefore starting to see a change in my hips and stomach, whilst my top half hasn't changed very much at all, although previously tight tops are fitting a little better. Now, 18 trousers are massively loose on me, but 16 trousers are just a bit too tight. BTW, exercise is changing my shape far more than the weight loss! I am at that weird in-between stage, where my clothes are loose, but I've not lost enough to go down a full size. More motivation to get more lbs off, and go shopping for smaller clothes, I guess!0
