How can you actually tell what your body frame?

I don't think you can tell until you have at least a normal BMI. Wrists really don't mean much when you still have fat on them, and I know that in my case my wrists are relatively thin, but I have a large ribcage and if I go by elbow width, I'm medium/large.
Clothes size doesn't really mean anything though, for example it will be much easier for a 5'2" woman to fit in size 0 clothes than a 5'8" woman...
Yeah that is true. A size 0 on a 5'8 woman is too skinny.0 -
I mean.... if you're very overweight, your fingers won't touch around your wrist. That's how mine were back in the day when I was 235lbs. My excuse was ALWAYS that "I'm big boned." Then I lost 90 lbs and lo and behold my fingers could easily wrap around my wrist and even overlap. =/
