If you're not shy... what size pants are you and how much do you weigh?

[proud_canadian]

I generally wear a size 12, and sometimes 14, or 10. I'm 5 foot 8 and weigh just under 135. Everyone always tells me I'm thin, and don't believe me when I tell them my pant size. Granted I do not like my pants to be overly tight, but still, I couldn't imagine going much smaller and still being comfortable.

For reference I wear usually large but sometimes medium in tops.

What size are you and how much do you weigh?

I'll play along because I am close to your height. I'm 5'7" weigh 185 and wear a size 16. However I have what is referred to as an "apple bottom" and always have problems with pants fitting me. When I weighed 165 I wore a 12.

 

[SueInBoston]

I'm shaped very different from you...I'm 5'3 - 120 and wear between a 2 or 4 petite. I agree that you don't sound like a size 12. My daughter is exact same height and weight as you and she wears between a regular 4 or 6.

 

[ZephyrHawk]

I wear pants sized between 6-9. I am 5'6'' and weigh somewhere around 140 (I don't own a scale).

I'm 5'1, weigh 170 and wear size 12.

Interesting. I'm 5'7", weigh about 167, and wear pants between an 8 and a 10 depending on the brand. I run a lot, so I'm guessing some of that is muscle weight which is denser, since I'm thinner for this height than I was in the past.

Back in my days before kids, I was your height and weight (and people told me I was thin, and I didn't believe them ), I wore size 8/10. I never fit into a 6. Vanity sizing is pretty funny. OP, I think you just have old pants!

 

[Coconut36]

I am about 5'6" and around 174. I carry most of my weight in my torso or chest. Pants range from 10 to 12s depending on the maker with 12s being more common. Tops I need 16s or XLs as I carry the bulk of my weight in the chest area. It can also depend on where I buy my shirts. Kohls I can wear XL. Target and Old Navy XLs are way too tight and I need Women's sizes.

I'm 5'5", 140 lb and size 4 or 6 depending upon the pants, the cut and the amount of stretch.... I have a bit of a badonkadonk

Was that you with Larry?

I am 5'6" and just at 200. I wear a 14/16. My weight is very evenly distributed. You don't sound like a 12. I was a 12 when I was only about 10 pounds lighter.

 

[Schmeck]

5'3" 112 lbs, size 2. It really depends on the manufacturer, style, and body shape - as some posters are same size/one size bigger, but are 3" taller and almost 30lbs heavier than I am?

 

[Christine]

I am 5'7", weigh anywhere between 145-150. I'm not very hippy and probably gain weight in my upper body before my lower body.

I mainly wear and 8, but some of then can be too big. For instance Banana Republic size 8's fit me perfect, but a size 8 in Dockers is too big. I can wear a 6 in some brands. My tops run a size 8-10 or "Medium".

 

[EmJay2001]

Yeah, I agree with the poster above me. It really depends on the manufacturer etc. I am about 155 lbs, 5' 11" and wear a 10, sometimes 8 and sometimes 12. I really wish there were some sort of standard.

 

[violetrose]

I'm 5'1" and weigh 115. Depending on the brand I can wear anything between a 0 and a 4. When I was 25 pounds heavier I wore an 8. I am very small though. Maybe you wear a larger size if your bones are wider? My friend is tall and to me she looks very thin but she wears a size 14. However, she is larger in size than me, wider hips, bigger feet/hands, broader shoulders, etc.

 

[Anne34]

I'm 5'9" and weigh between 145-150 and wear either an 8 or a 10. Like others said, it depends on the manufacturer.

 

[rszdtrvl]

I am 5'5, around 133, and wear between a 6 and 8, depending on the style.

I got a pair of bootcut jeans in size 8 and they fit perfectly. Same brand, but fitted jeans in the size 8 and the waist is about 2 inches too big.

I generally wear a size 12, and sometimes 14, or 10. I'm 5 foot 8 and weigh just under 135.

When I was younger and thinner (5' 8.5" and 145 pounds) I was a perfect size 8 long/tall. God, I miss those days.

I'm 5'5" and 235 and I'm a size 22. At 5'5" and 130 lbs (back around 1990) I was in a size 8/10 and could tightly squeeze into a 7/8.
