I hope you don't find me rude, and I apologize if you do. I am asking because i just do not have any clue what size I would wear!

I am 203 lbs, 44DD chest 5'4" tall. My weight is mostly in my belly and chest and my legs are not heavy at all.

It is really tough for me to get out and just go try on clothing. I still am very shy about doing that. If I was to order clothes online, what size do you think I would be? 1X-2X? 18-20-22???

I realize all clothing runs differently and I know I have to try things on, but I was wondering what your experiences have been.

I used to be a 3X and easily a 26-28. I know I can wear a 2X, but wondering if a 1x is pushing it.

Again, I am sorry if you think I am being forward, but I just need some help!

Thanks!

I would take measurements and look at size charts on the clothing manufacturer website to find a size chart.

Also, when is the last time you were professionally fitted for a bra? I noticed yesterday that my clothing appears quite different when you have proper support. I took off the sports bra and put on my 38DDD, which is a change from the 40DDD I was a month ago. I just happened to have the right size at home in the drawer. But shazam! As soon as I put on everything looked better.

You really need to measure and accomodate your shape - i'm a pear so always go by hip as a too large waist can be altered, but you can still getbit wrong as sizes vary by brand. But once you start youll get to know your faves. I,m 135lb and a US6 but im 5 ft 10 so little help.

I am 5'0 and I started at 240 wearing a tight 20, I am now 199 and wearing 16's... I am pretty proportionate i carry my weight evenly so I hope that helps!

When I got weighed at my surgeons office last Monday. I see I am down to 255, some people are starting their journey around their or lower!) My heaviest weight was 356.

I tried on size 20 Jeans, still to tight. So I need some 22s in Jeans.

I posted a add on our clothing exchange, I hope to get some hits.

I could use a couple of pair for the fall here in Northern, Michigan.

Up here some of the branches are already starting to change.

That's to early for me.

I am 5'3" short.

Sizing is so difficult not only do they differ by brand but by style within each brand. So annoying! I am 5'4" 231, 42D, My 20W bottoms are a little big but 18W are a little small. Depending on the how tops run I can take a XL or XXL from the Misses dept or 1X from Womens. I am def. pear shaped.

This can be "UNREAL" .

I am looking for 22 jeans so that I have some for the Fall. I have 20's, but they don't fit yet.

My niece gave me a pair of CREPE Slacks at a size 18... I just gave the look like yeah right ! and said Thanks I appreciate it.

Well today the Dr's Office called us in, and I thought I wonder how they fit? So I would see how far away from them I was in size.

"THEY FIT ! " I couldn't believe it.... I was very Happy to be out in White on a Gorgeous Day, but the Topper was they looked GOOD.

So I'll tell you what ! We really need to bring the jobs back to this Country for making Cloths, and everything.....

It was a Great Feeling, and still is. But I don't know about these cloths sizes anymore.

The Husband went in for the Tumor on his spine, and so far it's Benign... :broken_heart: We will see what the Neurosurgeon has to say....

I hope she is right....
