Excuse me, you are VERY stupid or too fat to know better. Zara is way too big for me, and Gucci's lowest size is a 4. WTF is wrong with you?? Moron.

5'4", 145lbs; apple shaped. I think my measurements are like 37" bust and 37" waist. I wear an 8-10 bottoms and M or L tops. I can sometimes wear petite sizes, especially for tops. So, basically, I have to try on at least four different sizes (8p, 8, 10p, 10) of the same article of clothing to get the best fit. Another reason I hate shopping.

Just look at movies from the 80s, and it's so clear that as a nation we are so much fatter than 20 or 30 years ago.

I think the opposite is true. Film and TV show aesthetic ideals, not reality--and the more overweight we've gotten, the more uniformly skinny our actresses have gotten.

Usually wear an 18, but just bought a pair of Jag pants in a size 14?!?! Vanity sizing is getting out of control. My fat ass should not be in a 14. Still wear an 18 (bottom) in every other brand.

Tops are a whole different issue. I need to bite the bullet and get my shirts altered to fit me.

I think this is just a bunch of carping from thin women who want to make heavier women feel shittier than about themselves than they already do. I seriously doubt that fit, average height women are having a hard time finding stylish clothing that fits them well. Most overweight women find shopping a misery.

Also, some of the PPs don't seem to realize that being short does not mean you wear a smaller size. Being short means you wear petite sizes, which are cut for shorter women (generally 5'4" and under). Pant lengths are shorter, arm holes are cut higher, pockets and trim are placed in proportion to the shorter torso. Petite sizes are often a size smaller, so a size 8 regular is a size 6 petite, but not always.

We get it. Overweight people are ruining your life.

5-5 & 140 lbs. Generally a size 6. 5lbs either way makes a big difference, though. At 135 I'm a size 4, and at 145 an 8.

At 5'6" and 142lbs, I'm a size 8 on the bottom and a M on top.

I think it makes a big difference how you like your clothes to fit. I hate clothes that are even the tiniest bit tight.
