I am sitting in a size 6 pant and it's loose and I'm 143 and only 5 feet. How are you all not fitting into smaller clothes if you're taller and weigh less??? |
I'm guessing you're wearing Gap or JCrew or something that has gotten out of control with the vanity sizing. I'm 5'6", 116lbs and I wear a 0/2 in those brands. But real brands I'm a 4, 6, or 8. |
Same |
I'm wearing WH/BM and most of the time I'm 4 but these pants I decided to get in a 6. |
5’9” 125lbs |
5’9” 128-130 size 4. |
5 ft 110 lbs. I wear size size 2 or 4 petite |
+1 I’m 5’4” 130, run marathons. I wear a 8 (occasionally a 6) in Max Mara, St John, Theory, etc. I get my clothes altered (smaller) to fit properly but I can’t get one leg into an actual size 4! I wear a size S in most athletic wear. |
This thread is so old that I was one of the first few page’s PP! I posted then that I weighed 118 lbs and 5’5”.
Menopause has me at 132 and size 6. Also, my breasts got much bigger - up a band size and a cup size. I’m much fitter now — I work out 5x week and do yoga. |
I could fit into a 4, depending on brand when I was 135 at 5’2 1/2. I’m plumper now. |
OP, I also think this post is pointless. You left out the important variable, age. There will be more sizes 2-4 among 19 yo and less at 49. I am 5’7”, 132 lbs., and 49 years old. I wear size 2-4 jeans. Some of my size 2’s fit better when I’m under 130. I prefer 122-132. I have a butt and am large on top. My shirts can be anywhere from X-small to large. I’m probably a 6-8 in vintage or European brands. |
I think there's some website where women put in their stats and photos. |

5’1”
100 lbs. 28.5” waist (I’m rectangle shaped, apple if I’m heavier - all fat goes to my waist). B+++ / C—- cup. 48 yo. In low waisted pants or very high waisted pants I’m a 4. My waist precludes me from most size 2 and 4. Shirts I don’t know number, but small or medium, depending on how much material has been is allowed for breasts. |
Yes - learn history. 1960 was 63 years ago, after France had fought two world wars and Europe was still being rebuilt. In the UK and US, we started fortifying foods around WW 2 to rid the populace of diseases like rickets and pellagra so that our soldiers were healthy enough to fight and populace healthy enough to survive (UK). It's a proven fact that lack of food will stunt your growth. |
