I am calling BS on all these middle aged women with children claiming 26" waists.
A 26" waist would be on the smaller size for a teenage dancer dancing 10-20 hours per week.
The only middle aged womem with that waist size are going to be a handful of asian women, and I cannot believe that there are this many tiny middle aged asian women with children posting in the dcum fashion forum today.
26 is pretty small. But 27-29 is a pretty normal range for a woman of any age that works out and is in good shape.
It’s a pretty normal size for people with eating disorders which we’ve clearly seen on this site.
We always talk about the eating disorders of people who eat too much but on this site a lot of people have serious eating disorders in the other direction.
A 27-29 inch would would be the equivalent of a size 4-8. That isnt scary thin, rather heathy weight and in shape
Again, you won’t understand this cause you probably have an eating disorder, but size 4 is not normal for a fully grown woman.

How would you not know? It’s pretty essential to know your waist and hip measurements for ordering clothes online
I just order size 4! Not that complicated.
“Size 4” is not universal. This is why every company posts a size chart with what body measurements correspond with each size. Same for small, medium, large sizes. When ordering a new brand, I always check the size charts. I guess I assumed everyone does this and therefore would know their basic measurements.

- 43F, 32" waist
I will add that this is an especially useless inquiry because I can guarantee you only the woman with small waists will both know their waist size offhand and be eager to post their stats.
Agreed, average waist for women is nearly 39 inches and we’re on page 2 and no one has come very close.
This doesn’t sound believable. 39 is a very large waist for a woman.
Well here is the CDC on that issue.

Not in the DC area. This is a national measurement so it includes the immensely obese populations of some southern states.
