Hi all,

I was checking some women sizes' charts and I still do not understand very well the relationship between the measurements of bust, waist, and hips in order to obtain the women size clothes. For example, 8, 10, 12, 14, etc.

In my case, I want to lose sizes more than weight. Of course that I would like both, but because I am doing exercise 5 times a week, I do not see that my weight is coming off. And I am getting frustrated. So today, I decided to look in measurements.

I am a size between 14/16 and getting the Large size. I would really appreciate if you can post your measurements (bust, waist, hips), your size, and your weight. In this way, I could get an idea what to look if I want to get on size 10.

Thanks for all your help,
Orquidea

I find that so many of the clothes are different in the sizing anyhow. I am now able to get into a pair of size ten jeans, but then I have another pair of size 12's that are tight, so go figure...
I'd like to say that I'm not aiming for a clothing size but I guess I am hoping to get back into a size 6... one day.

Thank you *****, it help me to get an idea. And you are right, I believe also that pant size is what we really think about our clothe size. May I know what is your weight and height. So, currently are you in size 8?

Chipmunkis, would you like to post your measurements and weight.

I want to know what real women measurements have. Because I went to Victorias Secrets sizing chart and the measurement on waist is diferent. Also I asked my roommate about her size, and her waist is 32 for pant size 12. According with VS, she has to be in size 16. :O

I hope that more women post their stats.

Thanks

Hi there! I'm very curious also as to what other people's sizes are and their measurements. I'm 27 years old, 5'6" and weigh 140. I currently wear a size 8 in almost every style of pants. (Ex. Old Navy, NY & Co., Calvin Klein, Ann Taylor) My measurements are 35" 30" 39.5"
