After posting my thread on vanity sizing I started wondering what are "normal" measurements for my size (ok, I get that there is A LOT of variation due to body shape but I'm just curious). So if anybody wants to share you could put your BMI (since there's a pretty big difference when you're carrying around 200 lbs at 5'9" vs. 5'0"!!!), measurements, and current size(s) maybe include what store...

For me:

BMI- 33
Measurements:
Bust-46"
Waist-38"
Hips-44"
Size:
14 pans seem to be too big at Old Navy so I'm guessing a 12 there but I have a pair of H&M size 12 pants that are still a bit too tight (but a size 14 skirt fits perfectly). In tops I'm normally a L or XL (but I can't wear button down tops or empire waisted ones).

I'm 165 and 5'3" putting my BMI at 29.

Bust: 43
Waist: 35
Hips: 40

American Eagle jeans: baggy size 8, but no where near a 6
Gap khakis: incredibly tight 10

Generally a medium in tops, but a large in unforgiving material. Hope that helps!

166.5
BMI 30.5
42.5

42.5

UK18/20 top, depending on fitting. Cd be UK22 if it is button down.
UK14/16 trousers, if they're elasticated waist.
UK16/18 skirt or trousers with fixed waistband.

Basically, they still feel pretty huge sizes.

I wear a 20W/22W in Walmart and JCPenney jeans, depending on the cut/how much stretch, etc. My stats are:

Height: 5'6"
Weight: 249lb
BMI: 40.2
Bust: 44"
Waist: 36"
Hips: 53"

[Shmead]

Ht: 5'5"
Wt: 162
BMI: 27
Bust: 39
Waist: 33
Hips: 42

Size: 10/12, tops M/L. Twelve is probably more accurate: there are plenty of 10s out there that are Way Too Small and plenty of 14s that aren't exactly falling off of me (especially in fitted skirts/dresses--all my weight is in my lower stomach and I'm really short waisted, so fitted things fit really weird. I do most of my shopping through thrift stores, so I don't really know brands.

I just got into my first pair of size 14 jeans, but have been able to fit into size L tops for a while. I can sometimes go down a size in skirts, but pants are bigger since I have huge legs.

Tops I wear a M in most. Pants/Jeans are 6/8 (I just bought 6s and they fit! But, some of the 8s still fit too!)

I'm mainly a size 18W and I shop at stores like Old Navy, Macys, Ross and Target. I'm mostly an XL in most knit tops and stretchy bottoms, though some are still a bit too small.

My HW was 288# with a BMI of 42.5. My measurements were 52-51-55 and I wore a small22/large20. Pretty solid in the XXL range.

Height: 5'8"
BMI 28

Bust: 41
waist 33
Hips 43

Size 14 or 16 pants. Large or XL tops. Maybe it depends on the brand. I can wear the occasional 12, but not usually.

I don't have a tape measure nearby so I can't provide measurements, but I do have other info...

Height: 5'8"
BMI: 25.4ish
Current Weight: 167-169 lbs (I'm on hiatus atm so I'm maintaining)
Shirt Size: Medium or small at most stores
Pant Size: 9/10 at Maurices, but it varies from store to store.
Other info: I am pear-shaped, so others at my height may wear smaller pant sizes or wear larger shirts sizes depending on their given shape.

That's about where I was at 186. Once you hit 180 you should be able to fit into 12s easily. : )

Size:
All my jeans right now are OLD Lane Bryant size 18s. They are quite baggy in the waist, but fit in the hips. I have no clue what size I wear anywhere else, because I haven't gone jeans shopping. I hate it because of the big difference in my hips and waist, it's sooo frustrating for me! Tops, I'm in a large for the most part
