I am 5' and now weigh 146, I wear about a sz 10, but find that they are getting a little big. I bought and was able to fit in a sz 8 this weekend. I am still wearing my sz 12' s but i need a belt and they are now starting to look sloppy big.

I'm 5'2", weigh 160lbs and wear a size 12US pant. Oh yeah, I'm definitely a pear/hourglass shape. Small waist, BIG bubble butt and hips, LOL, but I have nice solid shoulders, boobs and arms, so I think I'm a pear/hourglass.

I am 167 and 5'4" and size 12 is tight, I can zip and also put my hands in the front pockets. But one can see my thighs. I feel comfortable in size 14.
My yoga pants are s6-8 and they are loose.
I want to fit in size 10 in good branded pants.. Thats's my goal.

5' 3.5", weigh- in this a.m. said 217 (2 more lbs lost YES!) n im in 16-18 jeans. being an apple shape is a real pain in the gut lol!

I am 5'4 1/2" and weight 117 and wear a size 1 to a 4 (depending on the brand). At my highest I weighed 159 and was a size 12. I have a ruler body shape- just barely there hips and hardly any boobs.

I am 5'8 172 lbs and currently wear a size 10

I must be buying the wrong brands!

I'm 5'6" 170 today (up), and I can fit into some 14s, but 16s are too big. I have a pair of 15 Levi's that fit right out of the dryer but get too big a few hours later. But I have several 14s in my closet from years ago that aren't buttonable.

I'm very jealous of the gals my size who are fitting into 8s and 10s when 12s are not even in my near future.

5'10, 175, size 10/12

Hi,
Looks like height makes a lot of difference, also kind of fitting you prefer. Size 12 pattite is Okish for me. But, I do not like my protruding butts from it. So I feel comfortable in 14. Sometimes even in 16. Off course age matters too. I am 60.

im currently a size 12/14
im 5'1 and weigh 175. ouch that hurt to say that outloud

I'm 5'8" and am definitely pear-shaped. I weigh about 155 and wear a 12.

I'm 5'4 and 147 pounds. I'm either a size 9 or 11. It really depends on the brand for me (: And I have short chubby legs, so there ya go. (All my pants are hemmed.)

I won't be much help to LA since I'm tons bigger than you, but in case other ladies click on this out of curiosity, I'm 5'5" 251 lbs and size 22. I have wide hips ("hourglass" shape, although that feels too euphemistic in my case!) and even when I was 138 pounds at this height I was wearing a size 12/13 even though you could see hip bones. I'll never see 8 :/

It's so weird how sizes are. I know it depends on shape of body but it still confusing. You weigh less than me but my pant size is less than you. How can that be possible. I weighed in this morning at 177 lbs (i'm 5'7") but I can fit in a size 8 and can almost fit in a size 6. I think if I hit the 169 lb mark, I will be able to get in a size 6 pants.

This size thing is so confusing. :?:

5'6". 149 today and wearing size 10 pants. Can also wear some 8's. Depends on the brand and whether they're cut for a woman or a teenager with bony hips. ;-)
But just before I got pregnant, a year a a half ago, I was 142 and 8's were cute/ loose and some 6's fit me like a glove. 10 lbs can make a big difference, especially if you're working out and building those muscles. :)
