    Before: 5'3" 150 lbs. size 10 (some pants were tight) and a Lg. top.
    Now: Still 5'3" :wink: but sitting at 131 lbs. headed to 125. Wearing a size 8 pants, and typically a medium top.
    Definitely see variation among various jeans makers with their sizing....I'm not sure there's any "one size" as you have pointed out!!

    I'm 5 foot 6, around 170 pounds, and I wear a 10...in about 10-15 more pounds i'll be back in my 8/9 pants...but in about 20 pounds they won't fit right-they'll fit my hips and butt and not my waist. When i'm at a normal weight, my waist is about 10 inches smaller than my hips and bust...so when I put on a pair of pants, they fit my hips and rear end great, but the waistband is all loose. It's really annoying to find pants that fit. I've heard they make pants for "curvy girls" but they all seem to be expensive brands and I just can't justify that in my budget. My fave pants that I can't wait to fit into again are an American Eagle size 8-they actually fit mostly well, and the waistband only gaps a little when i'm at a decent weight (unlike some other pants i've tried on where they fit in the hips/butt and the waistband gaps like 2 inches). Sure would be nice to find pants that fit my hips AND my waist that didn't break the bank!

    Height: 5'0".5
    Weight: 130
    Jeans Size: 12!! (US)
    Shirt Size: Medium to Large (depending on the cut)

    Its funny how people who are only about 1-2 inches taller than me and weigh the same weight are a significantly smaller size. Thanks for starting this topic!

    I'm 5'1, currently 246 pounds.
    I've never gotten above a 22 in pants size, despite my shortness and carrying most of my weight in my stomach. My chest seems to be the biggest part about me, which means I wear XXL in shirts most of the time. For bottoms, it really depends on the brand. I can fit into an XL comfortably but for jeans, it's usually a loose 20 and the occasional 16/18 from Torrid or Lane Bryant.

    I'm 5"4 weigh 185 and wear a size 16. I have a big butt and hips so I will probably always wear a bigger size even if I lose 20lbs. For me pants are so hard to find since my waist is a lot smaller then my hips ugh. Hopefully that will change soon. shirt size usually around a xl.

    I am 5'4" and 156 lbs and I wear a size 10. At 115lbs, I could SQUEEZE into a pair of juniors 5s but I fit better in 7s. I wonder if I work out enough, if my butt will ever fit into a pair of 5s. That's my goal. To get back down to my smaller size but to have healthy muscle on my hips instead of skinny fat so maybe I can wear them without so much "muffin top".
