I'm 5'7" 210 lbs. A 16W in pants and like 12-14 in tops. Anyone else have that kind of a difference in pants and tops. I get so frustrated.

I'm about 175, 5'5" and wear between a 9 and 13 depending on the size/make/company. Strangely, I fit into my sisters size 6 Abercrombies comfortably. That might be because by rear end is pancake flat.

My shirts, on the other hand, are ALWAYS at LEAST L, usually XL because I have very broad shoulders, a large bust (DD), and too much unwanted fat on my back.

I'm 5'10, 207, and right now i wear loose 16, but can squeeze into 14s when i need a confidence boost. L or XL tops if ladies, def XL if juniors.

I am 5'7", 140ish (haven't weighed in a while), and a size 6/7. I don't change sizes for at least 15lbs. When I'm 135, I am exactly the same, when I'm 150, same. I'd love to be 3/4 when I'm finished loosing weight. I wear usually small to medium tops, depending on the material and because I have a longer torso, I like tops that fit me long.

I'm 5'2 and uk size 14 (US 8 I think). It sucks being little, there's just less of you for the fat to spread to

[flabbyblue]

I'm a 16/18 (I'm 5'3'') I wear an 18 in slacks for work so they hang well and dont hug too much, and a 16 or 18 in jeans. I have a very large chest though (and did long before I was really overweight) so I'm always an xxl or at least an 18 on top :-\

[Loraloo]

i'm 5'6" and I'm 195 as of this morning. Shirts differ anywhere I go, mostly larges but sometimes medium. Pants (If i wore them) I'd probably be a 14. I mostly wear skirts now though... i don't know why.. but I love them!! + I have great legs (or so I'm told) I told myself I wouldn't wear pants until I was happier with the way I look in them AND sat down in them.

A good friend of mine went shopping with her mother recently. Her mom found a skirt she liked and tried on a Petite 12 and a Regular 10. The 10 looked dumpy and hung too low, the 12 looked perfect and was quite flattering. Her mother actually had to debate with her daughter about which to buy, because her mother wanted to buy the 10 simply because it was the lower number.

Nobody can see the number inside of our clothes. I don't care if sizes exploded and I suddenly was wearing a 100. If a shirt makes me look good I am totally getting it.
