really depends on the brand name, usually a medium in woman's sizing. In petites I may only need a small. If I buy separates sometimes I need a medium for the top and a large for the bottom half.

My body type is best described as a "beanpole with short legs". I'm 5'6" with a small frame, and wear a 32A, which I've had a love-hate relationship with for as long as I can remember. On the one hand I think they're too small, but on the other I'd look disproportionate if they were bigger. I usually wear a 0 or 2, and have small curves with relatively narrow hips/small butt.

For the record...I'm jealous of you curvy ladies! I can't buy ANY lingerie on Eden because the smalls are far too big based on the size chart, and none of the styles that I have seen come in XS. At least Victoria's Secret carries a ton in my size, and there is a lot of cute stuff at Aerie as well.

Kck, sophie2229, and bsgreen69: let's petition Eden to start carrying XS?

All of my comments would almost mirror Jesibel's, my measurements are nearly the same! 34" 25" 37"

Jesibel, if you have trouble finding bras that fit and are reasonably priced, go to Kohl's if there is one in your area. They have a great bra selection, including Maidenform bras, which are my favourite! Maidenform's been around for over a century, and in that time, they've learned a thing or two about the female form.

Being an approximate size 5 and 5'8", people never expect me to have difficulty finding clothes that fit until I explain why.

Relative to my height, I have no butt; women's pants have far too much room in that area, so I shop in the junior's section. I just wish, at times, that they had more clothing available there that didn't adhere so closely to trends. I don't want pants with holes in them! When my pants get holes, I fix them, and throw them out when they're past the point of fixing.

But I believe the topic was lingerie! Thinking about it, most of my pieces don't go over my entire body, so they're easier to size. For fancy undies, I get a small. If it has to go over my breasts, I prefer to try it on if possible, and I never buy bras without trying them on first!
I did learn one thing the hard way: if you're buying an adjustable corset and you're between sizes, get the smaller one. Remember: it's adjustable.

I'm a plus sized woman and my first time purchasing lingerie was just a few days ago in preparation for Valentines day. I must say that while I did find some lingerie online I wasn't completely pleased with everything that I saw. I also noticed that a lot of the sites had the same exact items as if lingerie for plus sized women only came in a few pieces. I think for any woman purchasing lingerie the main goal is to look and feel sexy and to accentuate the best parts of our bodies and that's what we look for. I find that my breast and thighs are the best features on my body while my stomach and arms aren't so it would be nice to find something that caters to the good and hides the bad.

I hear you on the "no butt" thing. I always have issues with pants fitting properly through the thighs and butt, but being painfully tight in the waist. Pants that are baggy in the legs/ass, when they aren't supposed to be, just look really dumpy to me.

I got a really nice red satin corset from H&C. I agree that they have a really nice selection!

I'm a small finally!
I don't have very much up top, but I have a rather round bottom that sticks out. so I usually need a small on top and a med on the bottom or it only gets half way up or over my ass :/

I'm a small or medium on the bottom but a large or extra large on the top. 34D; It's SO hard to find matching bathing suits, dresses, and even some lingerie. D:

I wear like an 18. I have a big butt and fairly decent sized breasts, like a 38D. I have broad shoulders and 37 inch inseam in my pants. I'm 5'11, so... lol. Clothing, well feminine clothing is complicated

My size is Size Odd. One of the nicknames I have is Giant Amazon Woman. So that gives you some idea as to my height and size. When I am in Canada I must go back into all the various stores and spend oodles of time trying on everything from a size 16 to a size 22 just to get an idea of what fits. And then also paying attention to the lengths of objects. Cause even in the extra tall shops my ankles and wrists and usually belly are not covered.

Here in China? I just walk into the tailors and say this material, pair of pants, this is how I want the pockets and the front, I'll pick them up next week.

Is that expensive? I would totally get my pants made for me if I could!

I voted for my girlfriend. We often shop for lingerie for her together and she's a M/L depending on style. She's always had a fairly large booty though and that can sometimes make things a little tricky for fitting.

I am a fairly average small girl. It's really nice when EF actually carries my size. Sometimes though, I am disappointed about bras and how things fit around my chest/abdomen. I am slightly pear-shaped with wide 38" hips and a 34B chest.

I have a 38D chest, which is mainly the reason I have trouble finding tops that fit. The ones that do fit(comfortably) are usually Large, though I sometimes have to get a 1X depending on what I'm wearing. I have wide hips as well.
I'm very short... -.- 5'1 to be exact, and a size 13/14 jeans. It's hard to find clothes for my size. Nowadays I just wear a plain T-shirt and shorts.

More often than most I'm a small, though depending on how the company does the sizing I've been anywhere between an XS and L.

I tend to be somewhere between a small or a medium, depending on the brand.

M/L for me. I have to get my pants hemmed about 70% of the time when I buy them. I like buying pants that are already sized, but most stores around here don't offer them like that.

Im small but not boney and I find that xs and sm tops are too small while anything larger the bottoms sag. I have been lucky on EF with the one size things though because they tend to be very stretchy.

I want in on this petitioning business as well.
I am a size extra small to small and can't buy any of the clothes on here. I am 5'4 a size 2, but curvy (Butt and thighs), 36A and 125lbs. I have yet to find any of the clothes on here that would fit. There has gotta be a way this is possible.
