  • It's really going to depend on your waist size, not your height and weight. I carry all my weight in my tummy, so at 5'8 and 172 I'm still in a size 14.

    At 5'5 and around 160, I was in 8, 10 or 12 depending on the cut and amount of stretch.

    I'm 5'6" and at 160 I was a size 8-10 depending on brand. At 157, I was an 8 (and still am, currently at 151), though they are getting loose : )

    well im 155 but I'm currently wearing mostly 10s som 8s depending on the brand
  • I am 5'7". At 160 I was a 10/12. Now at 151, most 10s are too big. Once upon a time, at 135, I was a 2/4...that's where I'm trying to get to now! :)

    This is what is absolutely amazing to me. I was exactly 132 all through high school (I briefly made it to 127, but that didn't last...my body wanted 132 and nothing less) and at 132 I was a 10/12. At 140-145 I was barely squeezing into a 12. And I'm 5'5", so I'm only two inches shorter than you, and you are a 2/4 at the same-ish weight. It's like a cruel joke on me. So frustrating to know there is apparently no way in all of Hades that my body will let me get to a 6/8. :sad: :explode: :sad: :mad: :sad:
  • I'm 5'6" and at 160 pounds my 6s are tight and the 8s are ok.

    It's interesting to see how much it can vary at the same height and weight!

    I'm 5'5" and 162 in a size 10. A few months ago though I was in a size 8 at 160 as I had more muscle tone. I've let myself go a bit since then, though. I think it depends a lot on how much of that weight is muscle vs. fat.
    I agree with this, I am the same height and weight as you and I am an 8 in some pants and a 10 in others. But I wore a size 8 when i was 10lbs lighter too....

    i wear between an 8-10 at that weight. depends on brand. generally the better the quality, the smaller the size. so in calvin's i'd wear an 8 and levi's i'd wear a 10.
