Just had to return a size dress because it's a tent.

I have large wrists, large ribcage. Division 1 athlete, very little body fat.

People assume I weigh between 115-120.

I get an XS in tops at banana republic, loft, etc.

Size 2 dresses. Size 4 pants.

In Europe--I am closer to a 6.

I'm like this -- I know it sounds odd, but I'm 5'7, 150+, size 4 pants. Also D1 athlete, huge feet, very straight body shape.

Weight is important but so is Bf%

How is that even possible? I'm 5'8, weigh 125 with 19% body fat and wear 2-4 or small tops and dresses. I'm very slender and narrow, wear 32-34b in bras. How can we be wearing the same size? That is so strange.

(Obvious) answer: your frame is bigger/ bulkier

No, someone who is 5'4 and 140 is a big girl.

Not necessarily, 5'7 - 155 - size 4. I am very dense, have a lot of muscle, but am still very slim. I learned a long time ago to disregard my actual weight and focus on how clothes fit, otherwise I'd drive myself insane trying to be the weight I'm "supposedly" supposed to be.

I am an inch shorter, 7 pounds heavier, and wear a 4/6, and middle aged. People are amazed that I am slimmer and weigh so much but I am muscular too.

Mostly wear size 2 or small, sometimes size 4 or 27 in designer clothing and jeans

How about you?

Interesting! I am also 5'7 and 118 lbs. I wear a size 27 jeans and a 0 or 2 in dresses. A 4 in dresses falls off me. Maybe I have larger hips than you do?

Also interesting to see this- I'm 5'7 and 140 lbs in 26 or 27 jeans. Am very small on top, but I ran track in hs and have never been able to get rid of my abs and gluts. Mostly 2 but occasionally a 4 like first poster.

5'3" 120 pounds - I'm a 4. My jeans are a 27.

5'1", 116, size 2.

I am 5'4" tall, weigh 120 lbs and am usually a size 6. I have a small frame and carry a lot of extra weight in my midsection (all post-menopausal for you youngsters under age 50 ).

5'10" 135. Size 4. I carry most of my weight in my boobs.

Oh please. PP above is basically saying these women can't be as slim as they say they are. Reap what you sow etc.

Hey if you know how to make me taller please let me know! Some people have small frames.

I am 5 feet and 1/2 inch tall. I weigh 112. I am a 2, or sometimes a 0. I am quite busty (which accounts for some of the weight). I have a very small frame (except for the boobs).

Skinny is gross? How about we avoid talking about peoples bodies like this?

Hahaha definitely not necessarily. I think you'd be very surprised

Agree. Bf % makes a huge difference. I seem to wear the same sizes as some of the women in their 120’s according to this, and i’m 130ish.

For a woman who is 5'4 and 140 pounds to be thin she has to pretty much be a professional athlete. I don't buy it. This site is full of normal sized women who think they are thin.

You sound lovely. I'm not pp, but I actually think a strong, athletic woman is WAY more attractive than the scrawny pancake butts I see around here.

Didn't say you aren't attractive or a strong person. Simply that you're not "skinny" at 5'4 and 140 pounds. So it's laughable that a woman this size wears a 2 or 4. Go shopping at H&M and you'll probably be a size 8, which is your non-vanity size.

Not PP, but doubt any of the strong athletic muscular women here want to be considered skinny. Skinny is gross. And you don't buy 5'4", 140 to be thin because you probably don't have any muscle and have no idea what lifting heavy weights does to your body composition.

I used to be 00, at 5'4" and below 110lbs. Then I gained some weight, and was size 2, now I lost 5 lbs and am size 1 or 0?! Honestly, messing with sizing makes no sense. I have jeans from 20 years ago, size zero, I can't fit in them at all with my 116lbs right now, well, I can, but with difficulty. And then I buy size zero jeans from Gap today, and they fit and might be even loose depending on the model? Ridiculous!
