I would love love love to be a stable size 3/4.. what weight do you think id have to be? I know theres all sorts of factors like muscle, height and blah blah but generally, I wonder what 3/4 people weigh. I am 5'3.5" (all short people take pride in their half inches, haha) I have a ton of 5/6's from express but I really can't remember how much I weighed when I wore them.. anyone know?
I don't know for sure but I would guess 125ish? I am 5'8'' and around 140 I am a good size 4. But like you said, body frame and muscle work into it a lot.
Everything depends upon height, your shape and how much muscle you have.
Of course, if you read the weight loss issues of "People" magazine, everyone, no matter their weight, wears a size 8! I remember when Carnie Wilson was down to 150, they said she wore a size 6! She's shorter than I am, and when I weight 150, I wear a 12 on top and a 14/16 on the bottom! (And I'm in good physical shape!)
Another factor -- In women's clothing, there are no standards for size. A friend of mine once told me that if I tried on enough clothes, I'd be some designer's size 10! The longer I live, the more I believe it to be true.
I agree with everyone-- I mean, Lizzbabe and I are the same height and she said at 140 she's a size 4-- when I was 140 I was a 10 or 12! There is just no way to know.
Heh, yeah, American sizes sound so flattering :P It's kind of nice to think over there I'm a 4/6 whereas here i'm an 8/10. Never mind the fact that they're really just the same thing. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet!
I don't usually pop in here because quite frankly my kids fit in this category better than I do ... however. My newest jeans are made by Santa Barbara and they are a 3/4. My Levis however are a size 6 so I dunno.
Any time you are shopping try on lots of different brands. I had on a British made blazer the other day that was a 2. It was too big ... ugly a sin but GIRLS! ... a size two that was too big!
I'm 5'4" and throughout about a 20 pound fluxuation am anywhere between a loose six and a loose four. I have huge boobs though for my height so I'm convinced that a lot of my weight is in them (range between a full D-DDD, depending on weight), even though they don't look that big. It really just depends on your build, your bone structure, etc.
I'm 5'4" and at 145 pounds I wear a size 8.
It seems that for about every 10 pounds I lose I also lose a size as well.
So when I started out I was 183 pounds and in a size 14.
