Now that I've had 5 babies, I find that my body shape has changed. Whereas years ago when I weighed 165 I wore a size Large shirt and size 13 pants (I was in the junior department then), now I find I need an XL shirt and size 14 pants.

I'm 172 and that height and most of my clothes are from Express. I wear a SZ 10 in pants and a Medium in most stretchy tops, but a Large in stiffer, button-up tops for work. (I'm a little large-chested)0

I'm 5'5" and 168 and I wear a 12 on bottom, but a medium (8/10) on top. I've lost pretty much my entire chest...0

I am that height but about 15 lbs heavier than that. I wear size 14 bottoms with a large top.
A lot will depend on the amount of body fat you have. Someone who weighs 165 with say 25% body fat is going to be slimmer than someone who has 35% body fat since fat has a greater volume than muscle.1 -

I'm 5'3" and when I was 165, I had to wear a size 14 pants and either a large or medium top depending on the brand. People carry weight in different places, and brand sizes vary - not to mention that some stores also seem to change their sizing every so often.0

Let's remember sizes are different in different continents.
I'm 5'5.5, and currently 165#, and wear 8/10 bottom (depending on the cut of the hip) and women's S/M top (depending on the cut of the bust). But XL or XXL in the junior's styles tops0 -

I'm 5'2" and weigh 133. I wear from a size 10 to a size 6 in pants (sizes are all so crazy) and Medium tops. I still fear "the muffin top" so I prefer less tight tops!0
