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.

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.

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 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.

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

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?

5'7" - 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...

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


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.
