5'6", 154 lbs., I wear a size 8. This thread is good. I didn't realize how many people my height are my weight. I think a lot of women must lie!

I remember a great site someone posted previously in a similar dialogue:
mybodygallery.com
shows the huge variation in body type for women based on height weight

I can't afford designer clothes so I have no idea what that translates to in non-vanity sizing.
This is me too, the curvy pants usually fit perfectly, size 4 or occasionally sze 2. It still suprises me though because I grew up thinking my weight was on the heavier end for height. What made the difference for me was running - in high school I was 10lbs more and size 8-10, running made my body more proportional and clothes fit better from then on. At 120 lbs my period stops and I look gaunt, that never made sense to me.
We must be body twins. I was also heavier as a teen and permanently dropped the weight by taking up jogging. I ran a few marathons in my 20s and whenever I was in training I would drop to the 120 range. At that weight, I look unhealthy skinny - my collarbones protruded out and some friends were actually worried I had an eating disorder. They were shocked when I told them how much I actually weighed. I think I just have a larger body frame that needs the extra meat to look healthy.
We probably are very similar -- very athletic build and easy to increase muscle mass. I wear a size 9 - 9.5 shoe, bigger hands than an average build for my height. My mom is same height but more petite, must have gotten my girth from my 6" father. Go figure.

It's not just vanity sizing, but I can be different sizes in the same designer - this is the most annoying thing. I started cutting the tags out after I purchase stuff so I don't get all blue, as I can wear between a 8-12 depending on where I bought the item or who makes it.

5'7" 190 lbs. size 18. Very pear-shaped. I can wear an L in shirts, depending on brand, but usually XL. Dresses are impossible because I'm so much smaller on top and things fall off my shoulders.

I'm 5'6" and 145 and wear and size 8 bottom in most brands (J Crew, Banana, Madewell, Old Navy). Dress size 6 and these days always a Small when clothing is sized XS/S/M/L.
I wear size 29 jeans.
I actually think Banana Republic runs small--it's the only store I've purchased a Medium at in years and I never wear under an 8 in pants where I often wear a 6 at the Gap. Now Ann Taylor Loft and Lands End are super sized. I'm about a 4 and XS at both.
