Clothing size for someone 5 ft tall......

Hello everyone!

I was just wondering what clothing size I might expect to end up in when I reach my normal BMI goal of 128lbs (would  really like to get to 115 if I can) with a height of 5'0"?  I realize that body shapes differ so it might not be exact, but wanted a estimation from a few of you that are short and near or at goal.  About 15 years ago when I was at 143 I was wearing an 8-10 but I think clothing sizes have been modified slightly since then.

Thanks!

Hi ya, I'm 5'2" on a good day, other wise I am 5'1 3/4"  I am about 137 now and wear a 7.  I have 7 lbs till surgeons goal and 17 from my personal goal for bounce back.

I think it's really going to vary. Once you get down in the normal ranges, body fat percentage is going to matter more than absolute weight.

Anyway, I'm 5' 0.5", 115, BMI 22 and a size 2 in most things.

 U are SO right when U say  clothing sizes have gone NUTS!!!  

There literally is no  standard sizing anymore .  For one thing the percentage of lycra in clothing will definitely determine how far it will stretch .....so sometimes  we can fit into say a zero when we are really a five  on lycra alone ....

there are three sizing scales  for  women -   Juniors , Missy , and Womens , which also includes plus sizing.  

with Junior , my guess is you will end up a 5-7 possibly a 3 

with Missy , the same sizing will make U a 2-4-6 .  In knit tops What used to be a small is now a xsmall , and  what used to be a medium is now sized small.  

I doubt U will be wearing womens sizes at ALL  ...

In a way the weight fluctuations are FUN - U can styule Urself afresh every single day  until U figure out what looks U are truly comfortable with . 

I discovered higher shoes were comfortable and hot looking now i wouldnt be caught dead in my  dowdy old shoes unless going home depoting or antiquing where i want to look as invisible as possible ...  

That right there meant  a whole new world of longer lengths on pants etc....  

I cant BELIEVE  how much clothing im ending up keeping but im glad I didnt just throw out my good " old" clothes when i shrank out of hem cuz many are wearable different ways .. and can be used as an outer layer over bulky where they were formerly an inner one etc.....  

 

I am 5'0" (although before surgery I was always 4'11", I guess losing weight took some pressure off my joints). I am at 118 right now, goal of 115, but I want to get a little lower in case I rebound a little). I am currently in a 4/6. I think it varies greatly from person to person, our bodies are all shaped differently. Also, I have not lost any pounds in a few days, but I started fitting comfortably in the 4's I had from my mom and most of my 6's are baggy. I usually have to wear medium tops, sometimes even large because I still have big boobs, where many my height and weight are in small or extra small at this point.

I am 5'1" weigh 122 and am a comfortable size 4 and sometimes a 2.  I wear small tops. 
Sizing has changed from 15 years ago that is for sure! 
Good luck!

I am 5'1" and weigh 140.  I wear a size 12 (some 10's and 8's.)  At my goal weight of 125, I wore size 8 pants--now some of them are too tight.  I have had a tummy tuck and a breast lift.

I am from Atlanta area too.  Hobson did my surgery.

Like everyone says, it varies greatly from person to person.  I'm 5'1" and weigh 129 and wear a size 6 most of the time.  Some of my skirts are size 4, some of my pants are size 8's.  A lot depends on how they are made of course.  Best of luck to you!

Thanks for all the replies!
