I was just reading a post from someone who weighs in the "high 150s" and wears an 8. I'm the same weight and wear between a 12-14. This is confusing to me (I've seen lots of similar posts on this website). I am very muscular, a former competive swimmer now swimming with a masters swim club. (meaning, I know there is a big difference between a fit & muscular 150, and a flabby 150). I'm in Canada, so is it that Canadian sizes are different? I know that some stores are very "generous" with their sizes - you can be a 13 at Cotton Ginny that would be two sizes bigger somewhere else. Basically, what this says to me is that clothing sizes are essentially meaningless... I thought I wanted to be a size 10, but it varies so much depending on where you shop that I guess I'll go more for a measurement goal!
cheerio,
Sue
