Just saw this is a zombie thread, whoops

At least it’s not a five-year old thread where the OP is asking for advice about a very particular situation.

Cool, don't see why you need to revive an 8 year old thread to tell us your weight.

25 years ago I was 5'4" and weighed 140 and I fit into a size 14 in better brands with not too much wiggle room and sometimes needed a size 16 or 18 in cheap stuff - walmart for example

Now I am the same height and same weight and I fit into a size 10 in many better brands and size 12 always fits with room and can squeeze into a size 8. Cheap brands I can wear a 12, 14 or 16 just depending what the item is and the store.

It doesn’t sound right. Try again.

Nope it sounds right to me.

I was a size 8 when I was 150 lbs post partum. I’m 5’6. I’m now 140 and a size 6. Pre pregnancy I was 130 and a size 4. So for me it seems pretty consistent 10 lbs per size . I’m pretty busty and also have a somewhat athletic build so I feel like I look pretty thin at size 6, looked really thin at size 4, and looked just slightly thick at size 8 (but that was also bc I had the postpartum stomach+boobs and felt frumpy).

Let me ask you a question, PP. Do you feel like you are a reasonably thin person? I'm the PP who is 5'6 and fluctuates from 148-155, and I feel like I would be perfect at 145. But then I see many of my friends who weigh in the 120s and I think I'd really like to look like them. Am I kidding myself that 145 looks great on a 5'6 woman? I have big boobs and a spare tire around my belly, but my legs are ok.

Not to be harsh but this is a meaningless question because muscle weighs more than fat, and as a prior poster pointed out, it depends on build. I look great in a bikini and wear a size small in many designers or size 6 with this height and weight. there is so much more than just height and weight to figure out dress size and compare oneself to others' skininess or fatness.

I'm 145-150 5"5 and wear an 8. But they are a tiny bit big. I just can't get comfortable in a 6 and they don't make many 7's.

NP- I’m the same weight and height and I’m a size 8 too.

If I go over 140, a size 10 looks much better on.

This is kind of amazing. I weigh 140 pounds. I’m 5’4. I wear a size 4/6.

I'm the same as the second PP. I wear size 10-12 in designer brands, and often size 4 in Ann Taylor or Old Navy. Run of the mill average is about size 8. I'm an hourglass, so sometimes need to get the waist taken in and pants shortened.

5'8" 175 lbs.. from the other responses it seems I carry my weight very differently!
