in Goal: Gaining Weight and Body Building
Hello I was wondering if I should gain weight because when I try on women's clothes they don't fit me and I have a body like a kid women's clothes used to fit me fine??

    It would be more helpful if you could give us some stats (height, weight, etc.)

    I know in the us they changed sizing around in the last 15 years or so.you may want to check the juniors section. why would you gain weight? unless you are underweight I dont see why you would want to. check out the petite sections too. you may have to have some clothing altered. my sons gf is your height too so the struggle is real. she justs weighs more than you do.

    I have no *kitten* or boobs and my hip bones and ribs stick out I always hit my hips on something because they stick out, when I weighed a bit more I had some nice curves

    What I'm gathering from your comments is that you would personally feel better at a higher weight. If that is the case, then gain weight.

    Your height lists you at a healthy weight for you, but in all honesty, the person you should be consulting with this questions is your doctor. Your doctor could advise you better on your personal situation and whether you are actually a healthy weight for your frame.

    you could always try and build some muscle. that would change your body and you can build your butt up some(or at least look like you have a bigger butt). you may not get bigger boobs by gaining weight though. some of us are meant to have small boobs .mine never increased with my weight gain.you will have curves too.

    weight loss/fat comes off where it wants to. so sometimes it comes off in those places quicker than others. for some you dont have to lose a lot of weight to lose a lot of your boobs. sucks I know.

    You could gain to 110 pounds and still be healthy....why not give that a try and see if you feel better?

    Most women I know that have your height and weight stats are perfectly fine but a little extra weight wouldn't hurt either. It's my understanding that finding clothes that fit at your size isn't easy but that's not necessarily a good reason to gain.

    finding clothes for women at any size isnt easy when nothing is universal when it comes to size. I can buy 2 pairs of jeans,same cut,same brand,same size and one will fit and the other wont. look at the tag and each pair was made in a different country. I have to try EVERYTHING on. some things I wear a smaller size and some a few sizes larger. womens clothing has become a joke. and forget if you have any type of muscles in your thighs or anywhere else. unless you buy expensive jeans that are for curvy women.even when I was a plus size I had the same issue.OP you may have to try things on before you buy. or find a company that their clothing runs small(aeropostale is one)

    Vanity sizing is real, even men's pants aren't what you would think anymore. Unless you are buying a dress pant or classic cut you are probably getting a waist measurement that is 2 - 4" greater than advertised. That seems very odd but my dress pant size is 28 to 30" depending on where I am in my bulk/cut cycle but I'll need a belt for a lot of jeans.
