Ideal size for tall girls?

I am 5'10", 54 years old and curvy. I'm at a 21.something BMI at 153, which is in the middle of the healthy zone and am muscly, so look thinner.

I easily fit in LL Bean size small and medium shirts. Any 'misses' pants size 10 and most size 8. I've never tried anything smaller, but can fit my son's 30"/34" jeans.

This is odd for me as I have been a 12-14 most of my life, but the sizes had gotten bigger as I did. I have a 39" bust, 28" waist, 40" hips.

I took in all my old pants 6" and have done a lot of my shirts.

Im 6' 1" and I have always had the same problem. But I think a weight 160 to 190 its ok

I was a size 22 weighting 328, im now at 286 and I just enter a size 18 again, but the funny part is that when I was weighting 230 I was 18 still, sometimes I could get into a 17 and the smallest size I have been into is a large and I have always had a big chest.

My sister is following the same line as me she is 13ys, she already wears a size 12 to 14 and she is normal size but doesnt look the size.

So I think the idea is to enter a weight that one feels comfortable and dont pay attention to the number of ur cloths

I for one know Ill never be lower than a size 12-14, and hey I be happy in that number

I'm 5'11 and currently weight 163, I used to be content at that weight but now I do feel aware that I live a rather sedate life and would like to be lighter as I feel like I carry a lot of unnecessary weight around my thighs and bum. My current goal weight is 154 though I'll see what it's like when I get to that if I'm not too skinny I might want to lose another 5-8 pounds and get down to 145.

i'm 6ft 1, weighed 335lbs and was a clothes size 26
hoping to get to 200 ultimately and hopegully be around size 16

I'm about 5'10" and would like to be under 200 pounds. I have a way to go but being tall you carry weight well so I'm losing for better health. If I go under 200, I'm sure my motivation will be great and I will lose more. My size does not matter as much as being healthy. I do not want to look like a skeleton.

I am 6 ft tall and 25 now. In Highschool I was a size 10/12 at 150lbs...went to school at 5am I took 1.5 hrs of tap dance in the morning and 1.5 hrs of ballet in the afternoon (where I worked out til I collapsed and was drenched in sweat) every other day. School was 3 stories and several buildings so I walked between with a 50 lbs backpack 4x a day. Plus rehearsals several days a week and worked after school until 10 pm about 4 days a week on average... I ate one meal a day. I was definitely too thin and at the time I felt gigantic and gross.

I am now a size 16-20 depending on store and cut of the jeans, I weigh 250. My highest was 265 when I was on birth control which caused me to gain 100 lbs in a year. I was happiest and not jiggly at about 200 lbs and a size 13/14. I'm really just a little pudgy right now and people guess I weigh 160 or 170. I am getting married in June and want to at least get to 215.

Old Navy makes talls that fit right on me.

I am 5ft 10 (nearing 11) and am between a 10 and a 12 uk size at the minute. I have been as low as a size 8 (weighing 8 stone 10) but it was too skinny for me. My aim is a few more pounds to get me back to 9 stone 10 which will make me a size 10. 8 pounds to go! xx

It really depends on if you have a little curves or no *kitten* at all! I would say most people are 10-12 at a comfortable weight they can manage without being bulimic or anorexic or over the top. If you want to live your life on appetite suppressants and laxatives maybe a 6 but it's not ideal or needed. Most people look very beautiful and sexy at a 10-12 if they are tall!

I'm actually quite curvy at a size six b/c I have wide hips, a narrow waist and some boobs. I've never taken an appetite suppressant in my life. I don't take laxatives. I'm neither anorexic nor bulimic. I will consume nearly 2,000 calories/day without any type of exercise, which is more than I can say for a lot of people on MFP. To build others up you need not put others down.

I am 6' tall and at my smallest, I was a size 8 - 10. Way to small. I would love to get back into a size 14. As far as Jeans go, try makeyourownjeans.com. You provide your measurements they will make your jeans. They are reasonably priced. You can select your material, stitching pocket, tummy control, etc... love them.

I don't think there is an ideal size for tall girls any more than petite girls. I'm 5"9 and I've worn EUR 36/38 (US 4/6) for several years and the only difference is that I sometimes have to find different shops so that the pants are long enough in the legs.
It depends on your overall build.

I am 6ft tall with athletic build. Was a college athlete. Understand the info I’m about to share goes along with having muscle tone, I’d assume if I was less muscular it could be possible to be slimmer. Currently doing lots of cardio to lean my muscles out. In college I worked out on avg. 3-4hrs a day. At that time my weight commonly fluctuated between 170-190. My Jean size was an 8. When I was weighing 175 or below if I jumped a million times I could shimmy my way into a 6 but they looked like they were going to explode. Graduated 2yrs ago so have been working out on my own I try to go to the gym at least 4 times a week for 2hrs. Before I started working out again (3 months ago) I weighed 200lbs. I’m back down to 193. My size 8 jeans still fit but I’m cutting it close. I think when I’m happiest about my body and feel I look best I weight around 170-175, that’s when the cellulaite disappears. At this weight I’m comfortably a size 8.

Understand that as long as you are being healthy your body is beautiful just the way it is. Have decently good eating habits and work out on a regular basis, spoil yourself with ice cream every now and then

Can I ask if all the people replying are from the US? I think your sizes are 2 sizes larger than ours here in Ireland and UK, I'm not sure about the rest of Europe. So our size 14 is your size 10 I think.

I'm not as tall as you guys by any measure, I have a couple of taller friends who wear UK size 16/18 and look quiet well but would not look very slim.

I was thinking this. I am UK based and just under 5'8" - if I got down to a UK10 I thk I would look awful now (I am 62) and I am aiming for a UK 14. I am a UK16 now and reckon another 14lbs will see me right - just into a healthy BMI. When 20 I was a UK 10/12 and weighed just under 140 when I got married. Couldn't do that again as I suspect my face would disappear into a bag of wrinkles.

I’m 5’8” and weigh 155lb. Currently I usually wear an 8 but in some brands I can go down to a 6 and in others up to a 12. I’m pear shaped with a longer torso. At my smallest I was 135-140 and looked sick with visible ribs, I was a size 4-6.

Current goal 150 and to stay an 8

I’m 5’9”, but used to be 5’10 in my younger days. I seriously cannot even begin to talk about sizing because it is all over the board from designer to designer. But my closet has consistently been full of size 8 most of my life. My weight has went from the 120s in my 20s (yes, I was super thin, but it was natural and no one ever said anything negative) up to my highest of 168 lbs a few years ago.,where I looked overweight. No doubt, I’ve seen photos. I’ve felt my absolute best weighing about 145. I’m currently at 153-155, but I’m strength training some now, so I’m not looking so much at my clothes size or weight, but at decreasing body fat and looking fit and lean. If I like what I see in the mirror, the scale number will be incidental. It’s taken me some time to say that my actual weight doesn’t matter and actually mean it.
And I’m somewhat small framed. I have hips and a butt, but have thin arms, feet and wrists. My 5”2” skinny female inlaws used to be pissed that I wore a smaller ring size than them. I wear a size 8 narrow shoe.

I am 5'10, weigh 235 and am in a size 14. I would like to be in a comfortable 10-12 and my current goal weight is 190.
