    I'm 5'4" and currently 199 lbs.

    I wear size 16-18 based on how it is made (I have wide hips and a little butt so pants are a *kitten* to find) and I wear anything from M-XL shirts, again depends on how it's made because I am chesty.

    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.

    This site always gives me dysmorphia anxiety.

    I'm 5'0', 161 lbs and a size 16. If I search by size, every woman my height and weight is claiming to wear a 8/10/12, and women wearing size 16s are all twenty to thirty pounds heavier than I am. Either Canadian clothing sizes are WAY smaller than UK and American, or a lot of ladies are lying about their pants.

    I'm 205 lbs. (down from almost 230!) and I wear size 16 pants and large in tops in general. These are US sizes. But it depends on the clothing manufacturer too. If I shop at Old Navy sometimes I can get away with a medium top and size 14 pants or shorts. But if I shop at Macy's or Boscov's I usually have to get XL tops and size 18 pants or 16W. I'm busty but it doesn't seem to matter all that much. Size is just a number - what matters most is do the clothes flatter your body shape.

    I vote lying. At 161 (I'm 5'4") I was a comfortable 14/MAYBE sneak into 12. Although I have to admit that I wear a smaller size than some of the women who are comparable to me in height/weight, but I've been lifting heavy for the past few years and may have more muscle than my counterparts.

    Also, body composition. Maybe the smaller sizes carry more weight in their upper bodies.

    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) x

    Sorry I weigh 112 pounds - mistyped! x

    I am tinkering around 155 and 5'4 & 3/4"... that 3/4 does matter :wink:

    The dresses I have bought recently are a size 8, and I do have a 6 I fit into, too! Pants/shorts, I am still between an 8 and a 10 (US sizes).

    I weight around 63-64 kgs (138-140 lbs, I haven't checked my weight lately), I am 165 cm (5'5) and I usually wear a size IT 44 (EU 40 or UK 12 which should be US 8) for dresses and skirt, a size up for jeans or shorts, and a size M for shirts (I usually like to wear L sizes more though).

    I wear an 18 at 227 lbs. I carry most of my weight in my bottom half, so if it's an A-cut dress, I can wear a 16.

    I think height has a bunch to do with your dress size. I'm 5'3" and 190lbs and I wear a US 12 or 14. I would like to get to a single digit size, even if it was a 9 I would jump for joy.

    I'm 6'1" 180 lbs and fit comfortably in a size 10 (US) pant. I do wear a 36G though, so I'm a bit top heavy. Usually I can wear a 10-12 dress.

    I'm a hair under 5'4", about 118 lbs. I wear a size 2 or 4 top and a size 4 or 6 bottom, so dresses are a bit tough to find.

    I'm 5'8.

    When I started: 240 pounds and wearing an 18 or 20 jeans.
    Now: 180 pounds, wear a small t-shirt and 8-12 pants (depends on the brand and cut).
