Why are sizes so confusing?!?

Right now I am wearing 10-12 but have some 8 and 12's that fit as well. Why can't all brands be consistant?
But I guess I would like to be a 8 or a 6. 6 would be lovely but I'd settle for 8

I was a snug 18 (more likely a 20) when I started. I'm now just into size 10's. I don't have too much more to go so I imagine I'll be in the 8 to 10 range depending on the brand and style. I'm happy with that!

Perhaps it is the brands I buy, but I wore a size 10 at 155lbs 12 years ago and I wear a 10 now at 3 lbs heavier. Numbered sizes don't seem that different to me. I do wear a medium now though, when 12 yrs ago I wore a large.

I have been down to a 4 to 6 before, but that was far too low for my frame. I looked sick and was all "bobble head".

Right now I typically wear 16 or 18, but 14 in some Old Navy. I'd love to be down to a size 8 in most clothes. I have a pretty large frame in general and always have, so that's just a realistic look for me. Granted, I've never been that small (I went straight from the kids section practically to a size 10 misses), so I don't know how I will look at that point.

At my highest I weighed 243 pounds and wore a tiiiight 20/xxl at old navy. Currently I'm wearing 14/l sometimes xl. I'd love to get to a 6 or 8 in non-old navy sizing. I've never been thin though so I have no idea what I'll look like!

I'm now a size 26 in pants, and a 3x in shirts. I want to be a size 11/12, and a medium shirt. I'll get there one day

At my heaviest I was an (australian) size 22. I'm currently comfterbly in 20s and am starting to get into 18s.

I want to get to an Australian size 12. (I think that's around an 8 American) Any smaller than that and I won't look well. I don't have the shape for it and I'd rather look pretty than be skinny and lose my looks.

At my highest weight ever I wore a tight size 14... really tight. I was 200+ pounds. At 173 I was barely wearing a 12 but I wouldn't let myself buy new clothes. Now at 147 I am wearing a 6-8. I would like to just wear a 6!

At my heaviest , I wore a size 20 jeans and a size 2X shirt. Now I wear a size 4 in women's or a 5-7 in Jr. Miss jeans. Shirts now I wear a medium or large. I am and always will be bigger on the top half than the bottom half. When I buy dresses, I have to buy a size 10-12 to fit my broad shoulders and ribcage.

I'm a size 20/22, and I'd be psyched to get to a 10. I dream of being a single digit size, but really I don't think that's going to happen - my bone structure is just too big.

At my highest I wore a size 24 pants, 2xl top, a 2xl sports bra, and 44C bra.

Now my size 16 pants are starting to get baggy so I think I'll be in a 14 soon. I wear a large t-shirt, I'm somewhere between a xl and large misses top (depending on who makes them). I'm down to a large sports bra and a 40C bra. Also my work out pants are a large.

As for what size I would like to be I don't know. I'm currently just happy to not shop in the plus section and not have x's in front of my sizes.

I'm already a tad bit small but I wish I had a bigger bum. Seriously, someone that's a size 4 trade me your bum. In return, I'll let you have my nothing size-0 butt. I bet they'll be no takers. Yup. No takers. Chest trade, anyone?

I'm a UK18 and would like to get down to a UK14 (which is a US12). I'm 5'9'' and wouldn't feel comfortable being smaller than a UK14.

You don't need a trade-- just an upgrade.


I, for one, am not getting butt implants, but I am perfectly pleased with the ones in my breasts.

I'm a size 8 (or 10 depending on the store!). I'm not sure what size I'd like to get down to, but I just want to get to my healthy weight and whatever size that is, that's what I want!
