5'6" here and 184lbs....I wear a 29/30 waist...most of my pants are sized this way but I have a few reg sizes i do know my 12's fit and some of my 10's
i'm 5'6", roughly 172 lbs, probably within 10 lbs of my goal weight, and wear a size 12
i don't consider myself hourglass at all though because of holding lots of weight in my belly as i grew older maybe i have wide hips? doesn't "look" like it to me, though. i cannot imagine wearing 8's, that would be awesome!
Update: I just posted on 9/17 that I am 5'4" and size 10, but now the 10's are too big. I am still 155 but size 8 in pants/dresses or skirts from Gap or Ann Taylor. Jeans size 10. Athletic pants size med. In some skirts I can wear a six bc the 8 is kind of loose.
I need to be careful buying new clothes bc they only fit for a couple weeks. I have some I cut the tags off and never got a chance to wear. Waste of money but on the bright side I am losing fat/building muscle.

At 5'5" and 229 lbs, I am in between 16-18, which is absolutely not cool seeing as how I only have one pair of 18 jean capris, all the rest I tossed into donation boxes a long time ago. All the more reason for me to continue losing weight!
