I'm 5'3, 10st10lb & a size 12 trousers are tight but wearable. Size 14 is too loose though so at that annoying inbetween stage.
I'm about a 12/14 on top too as I'm still breastfeeding.

If you are in the UK you could try Long Tall Sally since they design for longer bodies so will have a rise that's in proportion. The rise still varies depending on the style though.

I'm still in an 18 at 190lbs - tried on a 16 the other day and it definitely wasn't a good look. Not a brand I've worn for years so I have no idea whether they vanity-size or come up smaller. After about 6 more lbs I'll try again.

I'm 5'5, 218lbs, 38GG , and my size varies from shop to shop. I tried on a couple of dresses in Miss Selfridge the other day and I finally fit into their size 16s - which put a massive smile on my face. However I could hardly get their jeans up my thighs..when I did they were really tight and didn't do up But I'm hoping that once I'm just under 15st that they'll fit!

Otherwise I'm generally between a 16-18, but leaning much more to the 16 side.

At 5'5 1/2", I am a size 18 (UK). Though, much like SoulSurvivor, I find that it can differ from store to store, and the fit of the clothing.

I'm into 16s again, which is super yay! I seem to lose my weight first from my upper body, however, so I've gone from a 38E to 36F... I wish my boobs would shrink, and not my back...

I'm 13st 11lb (or 13st 7lb depending on the scales) , 5' 4" and size 14 in most things but tops are a bit on the 'neat' side as I am holding all my weight on my belly... Really having troubles losing it... At the gym 5 days a week and watching what I eat and still the weight goes on! ...Aiming for a comfortable size 12 on top and bottom!

I am 5'4" and I am size 16 uk on the bottom and anything from a 20 to 24 on the top depending on the cut. I have the shoulders of an East German shot putter so mens clothes are best for me.
