Default Help me take a survey: What size are you at your weight & height?

Hi guys, I am trying to figure out what is the average clothing size of a person (particularly women) at a certain weight or height.

I would appreciate it if you could volunteer the following information:

gender
age
height
weight
and clothing size (or sizes)


I'll start

Female
21
5'5.25
176
Mostly 14's on bottom, sometimes I need a 16 though. On top I can pull off a 12 on a rare occasion (I am very bottom heavy). On average I would say 14.

Thanks for your participation!

Jeans 14 or 34 (extra long)
other pants 12 (also extra long)
tops medium/large or 14 (38-C boobs get in the way of buttons on blouses)

BUT last time I wore these sizes was 8 years ago and I weighed 160/170 so my body has shifted the weight.

Okay, here goes:

gender: Female
age: 29 (30 in 11 days!!)
height: 5'5"
weight: 239 (yes, I said 239)
and clothing size (or sizes) Well, this is a finicky one. Tops, I wear large or extra large - typically size 12/14 to 16/18 (I wear a 38D bra) Jackets, I wear no larger than an 18, and my winter coat is actually 14/16. My waist is 35".

Bottoms are the worst since I am a pear and have larger legs, but I wear anywhere between an 18 and 20, depending if they have lycra or not - always hip huggers, and always boot cuts. (Sweats and the like, I take a size XL - XXL, 14/16 or 18/20)

I can't stand how fat (and old lady-ish) tapered pants make me look, therefore, I haven't worn them in 7 years, LOL! I find with my body type, hip huggers and boot cuts make me look a LOT slimmer.

I understand these numbers look strange to you all who wear sizes close to mine and weigh a lot less than me, but I have small bones and I will almost definitely be about a size 4 when I get to goal. I was a size 8/9 at 180 pounds before. Sooo, I still have a lot of sizes to go.

The problem though is that this doesn't take lean mass into account. 2 women (or men) could be the exact same height and weight, but one could be at least 2-3 sizes smaller.

Anyway here's my info

female
23
5'2.5"
140 (I bounce around that)
size: Jeans - Comfortable 8, tight 5
dresses - Some 8, some small (4-6)

Shirts I wear Large or extra large still because I like baggy and am really self concious about my breasts. I will occasionaly wear a medium, and am capable of wearing a small, but not comfortable in them.
