Anyone 5'5ish, 125-130#?

That's around my goal weight, and I want to rock a new bikini when I reach it! :) But, I've never been close to that weight, so I don't know what size to buy.

So anyone close to these stats, what is your pants size? I have NO idea what size that is! Thanks!

Oh, this is the link to my goal bikini if you're interested!!

Thanks! I've had my eye on that one for a while now. :)

Any others out there with similar stats?

Well, I'm 5"6 and 145 lbs, and a size 4 upper body, 6-8 lower body.

Sometimes someone can weigh less than you and look the same, it depends on muscle and bone mass... so I'd check the website's size chart, they should list what inches correlate to what size, then measure yourself to make sure your bikini fits perfectly!

I am 5'4" 5'5" ish and 125. I have muscular legs and hips but smaller upper body. I just bought 4 new VS bikinis and i ordered small for all of them. That is just going off of myplain triangle bikini from VS. I have about 6 bikinis from VS and they are all pretty standard sized. The only thing to watch for is the brazilian cut...that one is super skimpy in the but cheeks area. I am not sure how yours will fit because i am not super blessed with boobs but am overly blessed with hips. The small bottoms seem to work though. The mediums just ride up too much in the back and sag when they are wet. Hope this helps.

that's a cute bikini :)

i'm about 5'4" (maybe a half inch more) and around 130-135 lbs.... i'm currently between 6-8, usually the 6 fits snug and the 8 gives me room.  when i was 120-125lbs. i was between a 4 and a 6 ... so i think you'd be safest in the 6.  in victorias secret if that's a s/m/l size a small should be fine. 

it's so complicated that every store has to size things different!! i just ordered bridesmaids dresses and i got one in a 4 and one in a 10 and that one was snug!   

jmc: I definitely know what you mean about the bridesmaid dresses! I just ordered one and had to get a 14, and I never wear 14s (Usually 10-12). Kinda depressed me, but also gave me motivation to keep going! :)

jesshintz: I'll be sure not to order the brazillian cut! Thanks!! :)

sarahgordon: I looked at the size chart for that bikini and the 6 and 8 both correlate to a small. Thanks for the advice! I'll probably go ahead and order a small!

Hey Shanna,

My name is Shana...lol!  Small world.  Anyway, I'm currently 5'3 and weigh 125 ish.  VS is tricky.  You might have to just wait til you are closer.  I had much better luck just going to the store this past summer and trying different suits on.  Some things just don't look like you think they will and some suits that you thought you'd never like look amazing.  I'll be shopping for a new one too this year I think.  Good LUCK!

Hi-

 I'm 5'5", 139 and a size 4 or 6.  My goals is 130 as well.  It really depends on how you lose the weight and where.  Good luck, I won't ever be wearing a bikini again, so enjoy while you can!

It's so interesting to see what different bodies are like. I'm 5'6 and 128 (my goal is 120 and size 4 bottoms)--right now I'm between a size 6 and 7 bottom and a size 4 top. Cute bikini!

I wish!  No seriuosly that's my goal too, right now I am 5'5" and 140ish. 

I wear a 6 at old navy/ gap/ banana, but probably an 8 at most other stores.  In jeans that go by european sizes (guess and joe's jeans) I wear a 29.  I wish all pants would go by that type of sizing - it's super confusing with the 4-6-8-10 thing!

Good luck nanna!

Shana...That's a good idea to wait and go shopping for the suit, but I've just had my eye on this one for a while, and it's not very expensive, so I may just get it for inspiration!! :) I'm glad to know there are more Shanna's out there! I don't know of any others!

waddope... You're almost there! That's awesome. I wish I only had 9 pounds to lose. :)

jodien...It is interesting to see all the different body sizes. I figured there would be a range of sizes when people started answering, but there is a bigger range than I expected! Good luck with that last 8 pounds!

lemntwist...I definitely wish there was more standard sizing too. Mens clothes are so much easier to shop for! :) Good luck with your weight loss too!

hey there. I am 5'4" , 120 and a size 4 or 6. I want to go looking for a swimsuit as well since I see a few float trips in store for the summer.

 

Totally cute bikini!

I'm 5'4" 132 and wear a 6-8

I'm 5'6" and 125.

 It depends on how your body is shaped and where you carry your weight, but, for me, I'm always a small in the bottoms at Victoria's Secret and I'm probably a medium in the top because I have wide-set shoulders from swim team.

 

Maybe you should take your measurements now and then derive a goal set of measurements from your current proportions. It's hard to guess what size you would be with just a goal weight and, with goal measurements, you could use the size chart found on the site. 

I'd go with a six, depending on what the measurement charts are. 

 

I usually just buy string bikini's, so I can adjust them when needed.  They also don't cut into my hips the way other bikinis do.   

It's nice to see ppl who are the same as me!  I am 5'6" and 133 lbs... I buy things in either 6 or 8 depending on what brand.  My goal is 125 by summer so hopefully I am a solid 6 then!!!! 

Now just to get there... it's really hard to lose the last bit of weight!

That is an adorable bikini! I hope you won't be discouraged if you buy it and it just dosn't fit like you'd like no matter what. I'm more of a get there and then reward yourself kind of girl, I guess.

It's obvious from the other postings that sizes are all over the place. I'm WAY older but I'm 5' 5" and 133 right now. I wear between a 6 and 10 in pants --usually an 8. I know that at 125 I'm usually a 6 (unfortunately my boobs will be microscopic! lol) I ALWAYS buy larger sizes in bathing suits though because I'm just not that firm on the bottom half and I don't want to be cut by the elastic. I've never ordered one from a catalog --I always try them on.

Good luck! I know you'll look fantastic!

This is very interesting! 

5'5 and a 1/2"    (that 1/2 is SO important...)
123 pounds - usually size 8 in pants although I haven't shopped for a while.  I could probably wear some 6's if I was willing to wear the tight fit.

I'm well past the bikini age, although that one is so cute - it made me think twice!   I'm getting a new swimsuit from Lands End since my last one just lost the stretchy stuff out of the fabric in back (eek!)    I'm going to try a 6 regular and hope it fits. I've always been a little wide in the hips and small on top.

Best wishes on attaining your goals!

I'm 5'5 (well almost) and 125-130 pounds and I am a size 2. I think the smallest one here. How weird is that? I'm an extra small, and I wear a size 2 jeans and slacks. I would NEVER dream even trying to wear a bikini tho. I've lost 167 pounds and that just wouldn't be a pretty sight.

*raises hand* Another freak here, lol.  I'm looking at all these people that are taller and weigh less than me, but wear the same size clothes >.>

I'm 5'3", 145ish.  I can wear a 6 in a skirt, but I have to wear an 8 or a 10 in pants because of my thunder thighs, haha.  Typically I go up to an 8 or 10 in tops too because of the boobage.  *wills them to disappear*
