How much do you weigh & What size do you wear? Vanity Sizing?

[Anonymous]

I weigh 380, and am 5’6. Very athletic. I wear either a 2 or a 4.

I’m 5’2 3/4 I weigh 150lbs and am size 6. Had gained weight during pandemic, size 12 at 199lbs, size 8 @ at 160/168lbs I have 10
But don’t remember weight. Before pandemic, I was always 5-6 or 4. Weighing 134-140lbs and probably juniors as opposed to women’s but I still can fit junior. They’re just tighter in the hip. My measurements qualify for hourglass and are 34-28-36 high waist is 27” I run/walk daily after my knee surgery 1.5 years ago.. to get where I am. Now I do half the mileage to maintain. I’m no dieter or heavy eater but I like carbs so I choose to exercise

Vanity sizing is getting out of hand

I am about an inch shorter but there is no way I would be a size 6 at 150. More like a 14. I'm only a size 6 when I'm at or below 120, probably closer to 115.

5'7" - 135lbs, size 2/4, small/extra small and sometimes 0 or petite depending on the brand. I am not petite. Yes vanity sizing is insane...

I’m shaped like this, same height, same weight and a size 14:

I am confused by all the small sizes but I guess everyone carries weight differently. I am 5’6” and 155lb — solidly a size 12!

Brands vary too.

Absolutely! You have a size twin in a 4 on the other page. Maybe it’s how clothing is fitting? Some may wear it tighter?

5'2 and a size 6. Tops are small or medium depending on which.

I feel like when I was in college I weighed less than I do now, but could rarely squeeze into a 6. I always wore an 8. A size 4/6 sounds skinny to me, but 5'5" and 150 does not. I suspect vanity sizing and that my college clothes in a size 8 would fit fine now, but that a current 6 is what an 8 was back then. Anyone else?

What do you weigh and what size do you wear? Do you see evidence of vanity sizing in current fashions?

I am befuddled by this. I am 5’4”, 140, and I always wear at least a 12–as I did when I weighed 20 pounds less. (My pant size is smaller, but that’s my dress size.). I read on here all the time about people who weigh the same or more and are able to brag about clothing sizes—it is always demoralizing.

I’m 5”7 and weigh 150 and wear a 10. I feel like that’s pretty accurate in most stores. Although I am 50 so possible distribution of weight changes between a 30 yr old and my age.

I am the same weight and height as you, and I don't see how that would translate into a size 6, unless I was busty.

I'm 5'6'' and wore a 6 when I was 120lbs. I'm now about 145-148 and wear an 8. There is no way OP wears a 4 or 6.

I believe OP. I’m 5’6” 140 lbs and wear a 4-6 in pants and dresses. People’s bodies are shaped differently. I have a large bust but very small waist. When I weighed 125 ppl commented that I was too thin. 135 is my sweet spot.

5'6" and 193 pounds this morning.

I wear an 18 or so on the bottom, or a 2X. Can wear an XL on top. I've recently lost about 35 pounds, and my size has not changed yet, except for maybe a bit on top -- I'm wearing the same shirts, but they fit better.
