[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 5'5" and weigh 150 pounds.  I consistently wear a size 6; sometimes a 4, almost never an 8.  When I was 185 pounds, I wore a size 12, sometimes a 14.  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?[/quote]

Interesting. i too am 5'5" and even when i weight 150 i wear a size 8. i am currently 170lbs post pregnancy and wear a 12-14. Muscle tone had a LOT to do with it. Muscle is a lot more dense so while 2 people can weigh the same, the one who has more muscle will be smaller in size. Same reason why someone may lift weights and not lose weight but still lose inches. [/quote]
