@LuLu Mom: I'm just like you. Back in HS and college I could fit into a 0 most of the time. When I turned 25 my metabolism totally crashed. Now I'm usually an 8-10 due to my hips and thighs. After this baby I plan to get into really good shape and settle with a 4-6.

@marionberry: Exactly the same!!! Hit 25 seriously I thought something was wrong with my body, the weight just kept pilling on even though I wasn't doing anything different. I'm working on getting down t at least an 8, but really hoping for a 6 before baby 2.

0/2 here. I'm guessing I still fit in my dresses that size but I haven't had a reason to try them on pp. I may not fit in the bust area anymore.

I'm an 8 . I was before pregnancy, too. I've never been anything lower than an 8.

8-10, depending on the brand. Jeans are usually a 10 so they fit my thighs/hips.

Pre-preg I actually measured as a 4 in the hips, a 0 in the waist and a 2 in the bust so I would either buy a size 2 if it was an a-line dress or a size 4 if it could be altered. This is the main reason I am not a dress person, it's very rare for me to find one that fits!

@Modern Daisy: These variations are so me! I remember in wedding dress sizes I was a 4 in the boobs, a 6 in the waist and a 12 in the hips. The poor alterations lately had a lot of work to do to take in that size 12 dress at the top.

Before baby, I was a solid 4. I'm now an 8. I pulled out one of my size 4 dress pants and it goes up to mid-thigh. HA!

Right now I'm about 8/10. I haven't worn anything under a 6 since I was like 12. I went from kid sizes to a Jr size 9 in about a year LOL

Dress size I was around 16 pre-pregnancy. Now I am done around 12 if my boobs would just get the message I would be in business.
