I'm also pretty well endowed (finding button-up shirts that fit is pretty much impossible)
Even at my lowest weight (120 back in high school) I was a size 6. My goal now is to get back in the single digits...I'd be SOOOOO happy at a size 8!!!
Your right, Here We Go, we are similar in height and weight but very different in pant sixes. I carry my weight almost totally below my breasts and above my hips. So I have a very round midsection. My waist size is huge but my hips are small. So I am like an apple with toothpick legs. lol
5'4", 185 - 190lbs.
Size L shirts (depending on the fit, I can sometimes be a M or XL too)
Size 14 pants, size 16 jeans.
I really don't see how I could be 6 inches SHORTER than the OP and 10 lbs heavier and wear the same size as her, but ALL my clothes are these sizes, so I dunno. It's bizarro.

You're funny. I always hear about shapes, but I don't know what I am. I don't fit in any. I'm pretty much perfectly proportioned. Is there a shape for that? lol

That's exactly where I carry my weight. I feel like a barrel sometimes with toothpick legs.
I guess that some what explains how you could be 180lbs and 5'10" and be about the same size as I am now -- different proportions. I figured it was that, but I didn't think even very different body structure could account for that... of the three common figure types -- appl, pear and hourglass, I'd consider myself hourglass. But I also have large breasts, though not out of the standard sizes (I'm 38D).

i'm about 5'5, 203lbs
I wear 14/16 tops (most of these are big on me at LB...but in other stores I have trouble finding ones that fit right because of my boobs )
Pants I also wear a 14/16 ...sometimes can get into a 12..depending on if it's stretchy or not.

Before I lost weight:
5'4", 264lbs
Size 22-24 tops
Size 26-28 pants
I'll have to post my stats later, but my biggest difference for me was a poster that was same height, 50 pounds heavier, and in the same size as me. Weird stuff.
Sizes vs. Weight
Maybe that is why I never wore anything smaller than a Lg.
