    The size really doesn't say much. First of all, the system in fashion industry is totally messed up. It really varies from brand to brand. :(
    Second of all, people carry weight in different part. I weigh much less than you, but I can barely fit in a 28 jeans. I am a typical pear shape.

    I used to wear size 5/27 from hollister and macys when I was 125-127 lbs. I am 5"2 only tho. I am 6 lbs lighter and wear a size 3 now.

    Holy Moly is right!!! I am 5'5" and when I was 154 I wore a tight 10 and some 12s. I am now 124 and I am in a 6 or 8. You must be a small build. I am medium build and am amazed that some people the same height and weight as me are in 2s! You lucky girls! ;)

    does anyone know how to find out what size 'build' you are??

    I think if I remember correctly....wrap your hand around your wrist...if your middle finger and thumb don't touch you are large build, if your middle finger and thumb touch you are medium build, and if your middle finger and thumb overlap you are small build.

    Someone made a good point in saying that people are built differently as well. I gain weight pretty much all in my belly and that is always the last to go when losing weight. I also have wide ribs, which I hate!

    Don't be annoyed, you look amazing! And must have very low bodyfat% and tons of lean muscle

    I have learned that your weight has nothing to do with your size. Your size is based on the shape of your body.

    You know if you are pear shape, and so forth.

    I don't waer a 27 but I do weigh a LOT for the size I am. Some people do - I am perfectly happy with it.

    For the record I'm 5'6, 179 and my size 12s are baggy now so I assume I'm a tight size 10. That's 20 pounds more htan the other person who posted and said she was a size 10. I'm not even sure its 'frame size' really - its muscle and generally dense body structure. when I tell people how much I weigh they are shocked.

    But last time I was relatively light, I was 145 and wearing an 8. I wasn't building muscle back then, just not eating many calories. So I was a lower weight on the scale but I probably only looked about 10 pounds lighter than I do now, not 30 pounds.

    I just bought a 27 petite Citizens of Humanity pair of jeans. I'm 5'2.5" and 123lbs. Measurements bust 35, waist 27, hips 35.5.

    ETA I have a pair of 29 7 jeans that fit great and a 29 pair of Diesel that are way too big...so who knows?

    I am 5'5" and 128 lbs in 26/27 jeans. BUT I have noticed most brands make them bigger than they claim. I bought some size 28 Seven for all Mankind jeans last week, and they are more like a 30 in reality. They fell straight off me.

    crazy, I am almost 5'10 and I weight 157 and wear a 9. I don't think there is anyway I will ever wear a 5, or if I could that they would be long enough for me :)

    Well I haven't bought a new pair of jeans recently. But all summer I've been wearing size 7 shorts from Target. I am currently 124lbs and 5'6". As of recently I've had to wear a belt with them. Hoping to be a 5 next time I go shopping!

    5'5 (or 5'4.5, depending on the time of day), 137, and usually a 4 or a 6 in jeans. I'm a 4 in Lucky, Gap, Banana, J. Crew and H&M (sometimes...depends on the cut).

    I'm 5'6" and 1/2" and around 158 and I'm still in 14s(can fit into 12s now). I remember when I was at my lowest 124 I was still a size 8! I think pears get the short-end of the stick when it comes to jeans :( Nothing fits the big booty and thick legs.

    I'm 5'4'' and about 27 or 28 inch waist. I'm about 127 pounds. To be honest, I don't have much muscle on me. I think I'd slim down even though I'd gain weight with more muscle tone. That is what I am after now. I've lost all the weight BRING ON THE TONED MUSCLES BABY!
