    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.

    Hi! I'm 6'0" and currently 187.8 lbs (40/32/45 B/W/H). I tend to be a large in shirts, but only because I need more length for my torso! :) Medium would suit me better right now. I'm a size 12L in pants, but most often need to buy from the tall sections online. I have wide hips, though! Even at 140 lb, I was only an 8/10 pant and a medium shirt. A small shirt was out of the question... it wouldn't have passed my navel!

    5'4 178 lbs and just starting to fit back into some 14's. At my start weight of 187 lbs I was a size 16. (US Sizes)

    I find sizes vary so much. Went shopping for shorts at second hand store this week and I found 14s that fit comfy, some too big and some way too small. Same with the size 16s. Some fit, some are too big and some are too small. I even currently have in my wardrobe a size 12 pair of shorts made of stretchy denim that fit ok and a pair of size 16 dress pants are still quite snug.

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

    Yep!

    Torso length makes a big difference too. A lot of my weight is long torso, but I am not actually all that fat, so I can get into smaller sizes. I do have to wear tall on the top and petite on the bottom. :)

    I am 5'2" and I don't know my weight in stone... But 105lbs and UK dress size is about a 6. Sometimes I can swing an 8 to fit my boobs in, if the waist can be pinned in.

    5'4 and at 187 I was wearing a 16 and XL or L---- 158lbs a 8-10 or Med----140 a 7-8 and medium or Small

    My lower body- mainly the booty and thighs is large so being any smaller than a 6 or 7 is very unlikely!!

    I'm 5'4, weight 180 and wear a 12 or 14. I'm pretty oddly shaped so I'm hoping to lose a lot of weight in my chest - it's fairly disproportionate in a painful way. My back hurts a lot, and exercising (let alone just finding a shirt to wear for the day) is hard. XLs are too big for my waist and larges are waaaay too tight. I usually end up with large tops with a long cami peeking underneath. Dresses, anything with front buttons are a challenge. Most of my wardrobe is fairly stretchy... so I'm hoping to change that throughout the next year :blush:

    I am 5'7" and weigh 165 right now. I wear an 8-10 in US sizes. When I was down to 140 a few months ago (ugh to the weight gain) I was in a solid 8. My goal is to get to the 140 again and into a size 6 as I have gained some muscle :smile:
