    5'7" and currently 134.
    In dresses I'd say I'm somewhere around 6 or 8. Most of my dresses use S/M/L/XL sizes, and I have some in each size. I do wish clothing manufacturers would figure out a universal size chart and stick with it -_-

    5'7" here - close enough! I'm currently 153lbs and my pants are a size 10-12. I am very pear-shaped, lots of booty. :D Hoping to get down to 130-135lbs.

    I'm about 5'6.5", now about 139 lbs and of course sizing depends on the store--at Gap I'm a 4, old navy: 4 (sometimes even a 2--I am definitely no size 2 anywhere else, american eagle 4 or 6, H&M usually a 6 or 8--27 or 28. Tops small or x-small, medium bottoms usually. My measurements are 34-25-38.

    I'm not at my ideal weight. When I am I am a size 10 or 12. I'm female, a senior citizen, and about 5'6 1/2" tall. I'm aiming for a return to my ideal weight for better health, comfort, and mobility in particular. For me, aiming to be super small is absurd. Just not interested and never was. Health and personal comfort rule! So I'm on a journey. Wishing all good health and joy in the process...of getting fit and life in general!

    I'm feeling massive and finally tackling the covid stone before it gets out of hand. 5'7" 172lb 39,29,42 size UK 12/medium. I have a massive kardasshian bum and weirdly narrow hips, it all sticks out at the booty behind. but I'm more keen to lose weight off my boobs and waist as the bum is partly from having been a competitive cyclist for years so I'm used to looking like a centaur. I'm just currently a fat centaur who's suffered from working from home and the closure of my gym and pool and running and cycling clubs since March. Steroid asthma drugs dont help. But I'm realistic and sticking rigidly to calorie limits and daily outdoors exercise until I feel more normal. Hopefully by next March I'll be small enough to fit comfortably back in my ski clothes if we can travel by then.

    I’m 5’6, weigh 175lbs and wear UK size 14-16. Although like many on here, depends greatly on the brand and style. I have narrow shoulders and a very flat chest so tops can be much smaller if they don’t reach my wider hips. This weight loss, though, I’m finding I’m losing more quickly from my thoughts and waist, so hopeful for a more even shape.

    244 pounds, U.S. size 18/20 on top but 20/22 on bottom sometimes 24 if the brand runs small. I am apple shape with a small butt and a big waistline. High waisted helps hide my belly rolls but I need the bigger size to fit comfortably around my belly. I hate when the waistline digs into your tummy fat and feels too tight when you sit down!! :(

    Also I’m not quite 5’6” but close.

    Any girls with similar stats or similar body type, add me :)

    I'm 5'6" (used to be half an inch taller, but you shrink as you get older) and weight 121-124 lbs. I've been maintaining that weight for several years, after losing 55 lbs. I am a small in some clothes, medium in others. In older clothes (15-20+ year old pants and shorts) I am a 10-12, in new vanity sized clothes a 4-6.

    132. sizes make me crazy because it varies based on store. usually a small top, 27 inch waist pants — that’s like a 2 or 4 at LOFT depending on cut, a 6 at Old Navy, but at MINIMUM a 6 at places like Banana Republic.

    Same height 165 and I wear US 12 pants. I usually buy a L in tops but probably could go down to a medium.

    5'6", 134 pounds. I agree with @csplatt, sizing is crazy. Depends on where you shop. I range from a size 2 to a junior size 7/9. Dresses are usually a 6. Shirts I can wear a small but tend to wear a medium to hide the 54 year old pudge in the middle that just does not want to go away.

    5'5", 135. I wear between a size 6 and size 10 pants, 10-12 or medium/large in MOST shirts.

    But tbh at this point I've decided women's sizing is entirely made up. I have size 4 jeans that are bigger than size 10 jeans, and small tops that are bigger than large ones so at this point I just quit. Fortunately we're able to go in stores now and I just find what freaking fits and scream internally about the inconsistency.

    5'6" 163 pounds Size 10 or 12 jeans and usually a large top. I lost most of my weight during the pandemic and working remotely so I haven't bought a lot of clothing yet. And yes, sizing is all over the place. My ultimate goal is 135 but I would be happy if I stay at this weight. I was 242 at my highest wearing size 22W jeans.

    I am 5.5 and currently am at 126 lbs. I lost 20 lbs in the past 6 months . It is going slow now and I am not exercising as I should, which makes the body a bit uneven, still have some belly fat that I am not sure how to get rid of. But I went from 32 in jeans to 26! Shirts were M to large and is now small/xsmall. My goal is 118 lbs. Worried I am overdoing it but I challenged myself to get back to the weight I was at 20. I am 46.

    5'5 and 246.8 wear US 18 in pants and L/XL in pants. Oddly enough, when I weighed this much 6 years ago I wore 22/24.

    There has definitely been a shift downward in sizes for the same size garments over the years. I am old and have been all kinds of weights over the years, but have a pair of trousers from the '70s that are labeled as "8" (US) that were my "goal" pants for years (decades!), that would definitely be a 6 or maybe a 4 now.

    If you buy or wear true vintage, you will definitely know that size numbers have gone down for the same size garment: I have some items from a great aunt from as far back as the 40s, and they are what I would consider TINY but labeled "8" or "6" (she was 5'0" and proportional).

    Even in more recent decades, I've noticed that the vanity sizes continue to creep down.

    FTR, I am now 234# and still wearing the same 18/XXL or 2X I wore at 278#. :(
    I'm hoping this changes soon - I have lots of smaller sizes in my closet.

    This is a lot of it. In true vintage (early 80s) jeans, I'm a 10. or a 9 which seems to no longer exist in most places.

    In modern jeans I'm often about a 4-6. Sometimes still an 8 or 10 though. Somewhat depends on the brand. Because even with vanity sizing the vanity sizing isn't consistent.

    9's are in the juniors department. I am currently wearing a pair. They are still out there :)

    Manufacturers/designers actually had to create sizes 0 and then 00 for the smallest sizes because 2s and 4s had gotten bigger.
