What is your pant size?

Okay, unfortunately I have been handed down a big butt by the wonderful women in my family. We call it 'The Morgan Butt'. Great Great Grandma Morgan had a huge caboose. I do however have the ‘smaller’ of the butts in my family but I always find that my pant size is way higher than anyone with my weight? (even the bigger buts in my fam) But when I tell people how much I weight they say I hide it well?! I always get the “I would have never pegged you for that!”

My current weight is between 200-198lbs and I am 5’5ft…I wear a size 16 (they are just starting to feel a little loose). My husband weights 50 pounds more than me and I can’t even fit into his pants (size 38-40).

What are your current stats and what is your pant size? Male responses are welcome too!

"Who wears a size 16 and is also petite?"  Me, unfortunately!!!  "Petite" refers to length-big size stores often label it "short" instead of "petite."  I am 5'1" and 187 lbs. so I need a big size with a short length.  Be grateful you're not short.  Short and fat is the worst combination-you can't hide anything.  And it's very difficult to find clothes that fit.  Woe is me!  I pray fervently that I will stick to a diet this time and be done with this difficulty in finding clothes that fit correctly.  It's hard enough if you're just plain short, but this is ridiculous. 

 Don't get me wrong, most days I love being tall, (5'10" 170lbs and anywhere from a 7/8 to a 12 depending on the brand) except when it comes time to go pant shopping. I would much rather be short those days.

I had a closet FULL of jeans/pants that fit just fine in the store, even a bit long in some cases, but after one wash, they'll never be worn by me again, unless the flood comes. Thankfully my sister in law is petite and good with a sewing machine. ;o)

Living 2hrs from the closest major city, tall girl stores are not an option most times.  I would give anything to be able to buy pants just about anywhere and take them up if I need to. Our local Wally world has racks and racks of regular and petite pants. Talls on the other hand are few and far between.

LOL I guess it's true what they say about the grass being greener...

I am currently @ 240.4 but I am 5'11" and wear a 16 on a fabulous day and 18 on an average day.

I wish my butt was a bit bigger :)

I am 5'11.75, 217lbs and I just bought my first pair of size 12s. The tag is taped on my vanity :)

I cannot wait for that day!!

You have really just inspired me, you have no idea.... an 8,10, or 12 would be ideal for me

I am also "gifted" with the booty (as well as matching hips and thighs).  So at 5'5 and 188 pounds I'm still in a loose 16 or tight 14.  When I was down to 175 in 2007, I was comfortably in a Gap size 12.  At my thinnest (120-125) I was about a 7/9 juniors.  But I always had a smaller waist so I had that horrible gap at the back of my jeans.  Ugh.  I hate that.

 I hear ya there! I hate chairs that don't have a full back...cause then I have a bad case of the 'Crack Kills'! haha

I am 5'4" and 151lbs and I wear a 10 in pants. I have a lot of trouble with clothes because I get a lot of exercise and my waist is pretty small ... but I horse back ride, a lot and have muscley thicker thighs as a result. My chest also causes major problems for clothing ... but usually I can live with that :)

Hey lady’s! I’m between 5’5 and 5’6 and weight in at 190. My pant size ranges from size 9-13. However my biggest problem is my chest I have a giant chest!!!

I think I wear size 8 pants, size 6 dress (US size), so L for the bottom, and M for the top...I'm 130lbs 5'5

height : 5'4 and three quarters

weight :  165 lbs.

pant size : 9.

i too have the biiiiiig butt syndrome. no idea from who thought, 44 inches around. big fat bubble of fat, but it gets attention so i guess i'm not complaining. but same, the rear end really throws off the size in general.

Maybe it's just me but some of these peoples sizes dont make sense..I do not see someone weighing 160 lbs and being 5' 4 wearing a size 16..nor do I see someone weighing 260 lbs..wearing a 16... I guess I would have to see it to believe it.

I am 5'9 and I wore a 16 at 200lbs.. I currently am in a 20-22 at 251lbs.. For me its right around 20lbs per size..

160 size 12 ..180 size 14 ..200 size 16 220 size 18.. 240 size 20.. 260.. 22

Of course my goal is to get back to a 12

sunshine I'm the same way.  And about the same weight for the sizes on me.  I'm a little shorter than you though at 5'6ish.  But I wear a 14 around 175+.  I was a 12 between 160-175.  I remember being a 9 in high school when I was around 130-145ish.  And I was an 11 between 145-160, back when I still wore Juniors clothing.  I don't see a size 6 ever being in my future.  Especially if I had to lose 15lbs per size like it seems like I have to now.  That would put me at 100lbs.  lol. 

Sunshine - at 250 I was a 14s At 225 I was in 12s...I'm 5'11.75, a 40DD and I have BIG bones. The beauty of CC is that we can see how different our bodies are and why the number on the scale isn't the only measurement we should use.

I am 28, five foot one inch tall and about 150 pounds and wear anywhere between a 6 and a 12 ( because women's pant sizes are dumb).  I have a small waist and very large thighs and butt.  They are both very muscular and pretty plump.  My mom is the same pant size as me ( we can wear eachother's clothes) but she only weight 106 pounds, crazy right?

When I weighed 255 pounds I wore a 22.  Even though I'm short I've never worn petite clothes because my torso is so long.  Here is a fun trick, measure your rise (crotch to navel) and see how it compares to your overall height.  I'm 61 niches tall and my rise is 11 inches.  I only have 22 inch legs!  Being big-butted and short legged is very silly looking  :)

When I was 218 pounds my stats were around 47-41-47...I was 14 and 5'4...what size is that? I know I wore size 41 jeans at the time, but I never kept track of my dress size, since I was always hiding under bulky sweaters and men's t-shirts and jeans/slacks...I wear size 28-29 jeans now, so yay for that.

Body shapes amaze me...

A lot of you girls are "around" my size but in pants 3-4 sizes smaller! I hate my build, but I'm learning to deal with it. ;) 

I'm 5'7" 252 lbs and currently in a size 22 jean. 

I totally get where you are coming from! I have the "Maynard Butt" as it is known in our family. I am almost 23 and at 5' 8" and 190 lbs I wore a size 16.  I recently lost 10 pounds and can now fit into a size 14. It's strange because my sister weighs more than I do and is three inches shorter than I am but wears the same size as me. She did not get handed the booty as I did.

I have a pretty big butt (I think). Luckily, when I lose weight, it's typically the first thing to go. I'm 5'4, currently 164 pounds and my size 12s are a little loose right now (very loose at the waist, a little loose in the butt) and my size 10s are still a little tight everywhere to be comfortable. My size hasn't differed all too much since I've gained all my weight - when I was 135, I was a size 8. I looked like a skeleton in high school (at 115 the guidance counselor stopped me in the hall and wanted to have a "serious talk" about my weight) and wore a size 5 at my smallest.

I am 5'1 almost 5'2 and 142 lbs. I wear a size 11, but can go to a 13 in some designs. thank the hips and butt for that one!

When I was in high school, 14 years ago I was a size 11 and weighed 130 pounds.  I'm now at 185 pounds and a size 14 - 16.  I think sizes have for sure gotten bigger.  I'm an apple shape so I need  that size to fit my stomach but then they are extremely too big in the butt and thighs.  I can wear an 8  until I try to button them.   This has to be the worst body shape!
