I'm 5'4" and weigh 281 lbs.
Finding clothes that fit me right is hard because I have a very long torso, short legs, and a small(er than most girls my size) chest. Plus size clothes are all made for girls with large chests, so buying fitted clothes is out of the question. Also, most shirts that fit me across the chest and shoulders are too short. Then, buying pants is also hard because I carry most of my weight around my middle, but my butt and legs aren't that big (again, for my size).
However, I usually end up buying a 22 in pants, 20 in dress, and 2-3x in tops (or 18/20 - 22/24, usually 18/20 though).

I am 5'3" and weigh 151 lbs. I wear a small-medium shirt and anywhere from an 8-10 in pants, depending on style. I want to be a size 5-6. All my weight is in my belly and I have no butt.
idea: we can trade clothing. we just have to pay for shipping. anyone need size 10-12 pants and large shirts. I got them!

I'm 5'6, 168lbs. and wear size 12 (US) comfortably! I finally am into a size M t-shirt yay! (not the fitted girls shirt, just a reg t-shirt, lol)
4 yrs ago I lost 78 lbs and went from a size 24 to a size 4.... I now feel quite dumb for allowing myself to gain the weight back

Isn't it crazy how different our body shapes/forms are?
I'm near lovelymachine, I too wear a twelve comfortably but a 10 is my actual *size*. Also like her, I wear a medium which I actually fit into when I was in the 170's. I think this can be attributed to my long torso.
You and me both. Rather longish we are. Can I ask you something though? Have you ever been accused of 'walking like a model'?
This happened to me and I was completely unaware I was doing so. I just suppose it's a trait that comes with legs that go up to your neck.
They're my most treasured feature. I'm iffy about everything else. My legs and my lips are my most valued physical attributes. I call them the 'L's. Haha.

I haven't been accused of that, but I wouldn't hate it haha!
I usually get asked if I play basketball *shrug*. I don't know if I should take that as a compliment or if it means I look like a tomboy?! Go figure.
I'm so glad someone else has legs sprouting from their neck as well! This is a day to celebrate!

The day I got that comment, it made my day, let me tell you.
I play basketball, and let me just say, it's not always because you look like a tomboy, it's simply because, as a female, you're over the average height. Trust me when I tell you I certainly don't dress like a boy, pumps are my favorite shoe. Haha.
Here, here, honey! Celebrate we will because kindred spirits we are!

I always get asked if I play basketball too. It's been a few years since I was asked if I was a model.
I've lost almost 40 pounds and only lost one size. I'm 6' tall too. Of course, before I began losing weight the 14/15s were fitting pretty snug...but I was really hoping I could get into a 10 by now.
Bras are my biggest problem in finding. I have a large rib cage and itty bitty *itties.
ETA....my current weight is 164.

hehe, I will say that a few times the basketball comment came up I was sporting a t-shirt and a pony tail.... so that could be just stereotyping.
I have no fear when it comes to heels... my hubby is 6'3" so I'm comfortable being taller than most women lol!
This sounds like my issue. You know, save for the not fitting into tens yet. LOL. We should start a thread called Tall Chicas! We can

I like wearing heels when I'm skinny...but when I'm fat I feel like heels just make me look BIG!!

That's totally understandable! Though from what your measurments are, I wouldn't consider you fat
You're taller than I am and weigh less lol, if you're fat then I don't even want my label hehe Oh ^^^^ the Tall Chickas Thread sounds like a lovely idea!
