I'm 27
5'2" and nearly 200lbs
I barely squeeze myself into 14's (yes I have the horrible muffin top) 14's fit my waist but usually hang off my *** and 16's fit my waist comfortably but look awful cuz they hang off everywhere else. I usually have to wear Petite because I'm so short.
This is what happens to me when I try and shop
A) Pants fit great.....except for the extra foot of material at the bottom!
B) Pants fit great.....If I'm waiting for a flood!
C) Pants are perfect length...but tummy explodes out over the waist
It's funny because:
When I was 18, I weighed about 120 and usually wore an 8.
When I was 30, I weighed about 130 and usually wore an 8.
Now at 40, I weighed about 140 and wore a size 8.
at my start weight 9 last summer ) i was 240lbs and wore a tight size 24.
now i am at 209lbs and wear my size 18's proudly !
and i wear between a 1x-2x shirt ( 20-22 ) depending on the make and style. i'm a bit busty ( hoping i lose a lot there ....lol )
oh , i am barely 5'4 also....lol
and i can wear my 13 yr old daughter size XL ( from goodys ) stretch goucho dress pants ( was in a crunch for dressy pants for a funeral - tried them on and was AMAZED they fit great !!! )
Girl, 32, 5'10", 150. Mine are nonsensical, I wear: XS, S, M, L, XL, 6, 8, 9 and 10's. Different brands and departments fit differently, I wear whatever size fits and flatters.
I am 39
5"7'

In jeans I wear a 16 comfortably and some 14s depending on the make and the give in the fabric
I am 52 & 5' 3". At 150# wore a size 12. At 115# wear a 2 in some jeans, but a 4 in most clothes (and loving it). I have never been able to stay at this weight since 7th grade, but have been maintaining it now for almost a year.
