[quote=Anonymous]I'm 5-3 and 138 lbs., and usually wear a size 6 in today's sizes.  I am fairly proportional -- measurements 37-28-38.  The BMI scale would consider me very close to being overweight.  I don't think I'm fat, per se, but I am definitely 10 lbs away from being thin.  I would consider myself fat if I was large enough to need a size 12.

That said, my mom is 5-6 and wears a size 10 and I would not consider her at all fat.  She is very fit, but she carries a lot of her weight around her midsection, so her waist requires the larger size.  But her legs and rear and arms are all smaller than mine.

I guess I can see someone needing a size 12 and not necessarily being fat only if that person is very disproportionate -- i.e., has very large thighs, rear end, waist, or maybe breasts in proportion to the rest of their body.

It's very hard for me to imagine someone wearing a size 12 at 123 lbs, like a previous poster, unless that person is exceptionally pear-shaped and very short.  I think if I were 123 lbs, I would wear a size 4 at the most.[/quote]
