This is so crazy to see the variation. I am just below 200 and am comfortably wearing my 18 long Jcpennys St johns bay jeans. I dont think they are Womens Plus b/c they didnt have the long length. They are quite baggy. Who know how much they may have shrunk since I got them 2 years ago. I am kinda an apple shape when Im heavier. But more of a ruler when I am slimmer.
I'm 5'10 and my highest weight last year was 389lbs and a size 30/32. Right now I'm sitting at 291lbs. Not sure of my size though. I have been living in South Korea for a year now and they don't have anything close to my size so usually I have my mom buy clothes and send them over to me. The last pants she sent were 24's and they are really baggy on me now and I have to wear a belt (that is too big for me now too). I am trying to make the 24's last me six more weeks til i go home to the USA and can try on clothes and buy some that actually fit me. For now, on Sunday I tried on a pair of capris from Torrid that are a size 22 and they fit me (a little snug in the butt though).
Hi Farn...
I am5'8.5", 170 lbs now and my 10's are snug, but 12's getting too big. When I was 148lbs two summers ago I was wearing size 4 and 6. (Even had a pair of size two's ...probably the only reason I bought them)
I'm 5'6" and am most comfortable in a 22. I like very loose clothes though. I weigh as of today 227. I suppose I am apple shaped. Big breasts, big belly and big rear.
At my highest weight of 257 I was a size 22 it took a while to get into a 20 and then 18 it was sooo frustrating lol then at my lowest weight of 185 I was a size 16 and I could squeeze a 14 on but not wear them in public.I gained some back I'm at 200 again but I'm 5'3 wearing a size 16 and xl in shirts
This month, ALL my weight is coming off in my chest! The pants are not budging. But the last 15 pounds have dropped me down a shirt size to almost mediums.
5'7, apple shape (diabetic)
today I am 184 lbs and wearing a 14/16. (depends on the cut)
in the past:
at 165, a size 12/14
at 150 a size 10/12
at 135 I wore a size 6/8
I am 5'5" and 160ish and I wear a 12 from Old Navy and GAP but I think they do vanity sizing b/c in my designer jeans I am a 32 and that would be the equivalent of a 14.
I'm not sure what my body shape is, I think very slight hour glass or banana. My hips and chest are proportionate but my waist isn't as small as a true hour glass.

I'm 5'7", 206#s. I used to be pear shape, but now that I'm older, I'm a fat ruler.
At 220 14's were snug, now I can fit into some 12s. My tops are usually L or XL because of my Herman Munster barrel chest (starting to shrink) and belly fat. Depending on the style of the dress a 12, 14 or 16. Brands and what country they are made in really makes such a difference.
When I was at 150 I could fit into some 8s, but I gave them all away. I'll see when I get to goal, but I have plenty of 10s and 12s waiting for me. Don't know if I'll ever fit in medium tops again.
