    It also depends on the country. Even where countries share the same sizing numbers, the size itself is different. I'm 5'0", 135 and wear an 8, a 12 or a 46 dress, a 9, 11, 13 or 34 bottom or a S, M, L or XL outerwear depending on the label. In some stores I can buy off the kids rack. In the US I'm a small but in Bangladesh I'm still a plus-size.

    In other words, clothing size means nothing.

    @Dreysander I'm in your boat. 5'5, 125-127 lbs and mostly an 8. I have a pear shape so I wear S tops and dresses. I can wear some 6's, just depends on the brand.

    Wow. I'm 5'4 and for most of my adult life have weighed between 140 - 148. I've only worn size 10s and size 12s. I carry all my extra weight in my middle and I don't like to wear anything tight but I'm surprised by all the people around my size who wear size 8s and size 6s. Interesting! Right now I weigh 138 and my size 10s fit fine. Hmmmm.

    I find this interesting because my measurements and your clothing sizes don't match.

    5'10" 151 pounds.
    38/29/39
    Small or medium tops and medium bottoms if it's sized that way. Size 10 usually. Expensive clothes size 8. Old clothes size 12 (sizing has changed.

    150
    8 or 10 in bottoms (I usually go with a 10 so my skinny jeans don't give me a muffin top)!
    8 in dresses
    Anywhere from 8 - 12 in tops. I have long arms and a big chest so I usually size up.

    5'10
    ~250lbs
    16 in bottoms . . . sometimes I can squeeze into a 14 if they're forgiving/vanity sizing, but usually a 16
    L or XL in tops - I have fairly broad shoulders and I also don't like my shirts to be short . . . I like them covering my belt and mid section, can't stand if they just meet the top of my pants . . . I'm weird lol
    Dresses are usually a 16 or an 18, depending on the cut of the dress. If it has long sleeves I usually have to buy an 18 and have it taken in around the waist just because of my broad shoulders :(

    Ugh it's so frusterating to me that people my height and weight are so much smaller than I am.

    Some of this will also depend on bodyfat% and how much muscle a person carries. Muscle is denser than fat, so it takes up less space for the same weight. I know I would never be a 4/6 pants at 147 pounds if I hadn't been doing strength/resistance training for the past two years.

    I have a large amount of just excess grossness on my abdomen from being so overweight. I fear that the only way to truly get rid of it will be to have it cut off.
