What are your measurements and what clothes size do you fit?

I'm curious because my measurements don't match those store ones at all :s-smilie:

I'm 40-25-38, and fit a size 8 - 10.

I'm losing weight and finding some of my clothes too big. But not many places make smaller and I see girls way smaller than me that somehow fit bigger clothes. I'm really confused.

So just wondering what everyone else is

I'm not sure about my measurements but I'm an 8 on top and 10/12 on the bottom depending on the cut and shop I buy. I think it's all to do with body shape, hope that helps.

I think I'm something like 36-27-37. I almost always fit into a size 8. I have a handful of size 6s and a handful of size 10s. My measurements would put me at a size 10-12, looking at size guides!

Someone else this happens to. I really don't get why the clothing guides are so out!
Not too certain of my exact measurements, but I'm a size 4 (yes! I'm working on putting on weight!) and my bra size is 32B. For jeans I wear waist 24" and length 32".

My measurements are 33-26.5-36 and I usually wear sizes 6-8.

You don't find an 8 too loose? We have the same waist and almost the same hip measurements and I find 8s hang off me sometimes. This makes no sense
Is there a separate thread for voluptuous ladies? :colondollar:

It depends on the style and the shop, which is why some of my clothes are size 6.
What kind of shops are your clothes from?

I know, H&M is so weird! I think I'd need a size 10 in their skinny jeans, when normally I'm a 6-8.

Most of my clothes are from online shops, if they're dresses I usually get a 10 for boob room but skirts from regular shops seem too big on the waist at a size 8 which is really annoying

That makes no sense! You're smaller than me but a bigger clothes size

I think a lot of it is my height maybe ? im nearly 6ft and ive got quite muscular thighs ive got a chubby bum aswell as I find a 10 is fine on the hips but waist wise they gape all my jeans are to big on the waist but just the right size on the hips if I went for a 8 I wouldn't be able to get them over my bum!

I'm the opposite, due to my smaller bust. I can imagine your figure being a bit difficult to shop for due to your tiny waist and big bust and bum.

That could be it. I'm 5"8 so pretty tall but most of the clothes I go for are skirts because trousers are difficult for me (big bum small waist) so I just don't go there. In cotton I have to get a 12 for my boobs and take the waist in :s-smilie:

Clothes sizes make no sense

It is, in cotton I have to get a 12 for my boobs and have it altered because everything else hangs off me. I've got a few custom made dresses though which are awesome :smile: I'm just worried because I'm losing weight and don't want to end up having no options to buy

I know how you feel I never know what size to buy what to buy, I think I can fit into a 8 in a dress but that's because it goes over top half and ive got small boobs anything that ihave to put on up over my bum hips has to be a 10 atlesat or its going nowhere!

If you're losing weight you might need to get some size 6 stuff, though I can't imagine that fitting over your boobs :s-smilie:
Oh and I just saw how tall you are, I'm only 5'2.9".

Yeah me neither, it's like when you're online and you have to choose a size I never know. It's so annoying. At least I know I'm not alone. I thought it was just me who was a freak haha but nope it looks normal
