For fun, please help! Clothing Size vs. BMI?

Hey, y'all! I would love it if everyone would chime in and give as many answers as they can.

Based on this size chart, what size are/were you, and what was your BMI?

If you are between sizes, go down a size, and if your waist is a different size than your hips, then choose the larger size.

And if the chart doesn't cover your size, just guess by adding a couple inches per size.
