I really have no idea of my size.

I can't look at clothing and determine if it will fit. I can't even come close! I'll grab pants 5 sizes too big or small and to me it looks as if it would fit right up until I try them on.

I also have no real sense of how big or small I am as compared to others around me. I just don't even notice it unless maybe I see a giant or a midget.

Is it normal?

    Am I the only one that came to this post thinking it was about penis-size?

    Fitting rooms are your friends.

    You should look at what size you are wearing that fits properly and remember it.

    I'm the same way. I need to look at old pictures of my self to assess my size at that time. I'm 6'3" and I've weighed as little as 175 lbs and as much as 250 lbs in my adult life but it all looks the same when I look at myself in the mirror.

    Maybe you're a bit body dysmorphic? I think I am too, although, I know what size clothes I am (does vary from shop to shop, though.)

    it in Britain it's so much easier to pick sizes. I'm an 8 and a 10 is to big and a 6 sometimes fits me. 6(extra small) 8-10(small) 12-14(medium) 16-18(large)...
    in a America I'm a size 4! it's easy to figure out your size.

    Maybe you have ADD. You should consider getting that checked out.

      Getting pretty boring and old by now.

      Try like, a vampire that incorporates blood into every answer, and see if you can't figure out how to spell in a Transylvanian accent?

      You can't spell. Are you dyslexic?

    Pick some that you think will fit. Try them on. Keep the one that fits best. Look at the size. Remember it. That's your size!

      That doesn't help much since women's clothing has no size standard.

        Well then you may vary in clothing size depending on the clothing. What energy said is accurate though since you haven't come up with a better plan. It's right..try things on, the one that fits is your size. That's not so hard.

        You're absolutely correct, however, your size will typically fall within a range as the size of women's clothing often depends on the brand.

        I live in the US, and my lowest pant-size is 5. My highest is 8. Therefore, my size range is between 5-8. When I go to try on clothes, I find a pair of pants, get size "5,6,7,8" (unless 5 is obviously too tight or 8 is obviously too big when I match them up against my hips) and then I try them on.

        If I come out with "7", then 6 was slightly too tight and 8 was slightly too lose, 7 is a good, snug fit. That's what you have to do. It sounds more complicated then it is but once you figure out what your range is, then you will have a much easier time picking out clothing to try on.

        It's all trial and error and it takes a while to do, so find a brand that you like, try them on until you find one that fits, remember that size, and remember the sizes of the pants you buy after that. If the size from that brand is 3 and the size from another brand is 1 but 5 is too big when you try on any brand other jeans, then that is your range., 1-4. In short, no matter what the brand, there will be a size you can wear and a size you cannot. I can't be a size 4 in ANY brand, and I can't be a size 9 in ANY brand. BUT I can be a size 5 in some brands and an 8 in some brands, hence, my range, 5-8. I will definitely be one of those 4 given sizes, but I won't ever be anything more or less unless my figure changes. Does this make sense?

        Good luck, it was a pain for me to figure this out after I finished growing, so you have to be patient. I learned my range over the course of 3 years of trying on different pants-sizes, and you can always go into your closet, try on what fits, and go from there.

        By the way, there is no reasonable explanation as to why you would pick up pants 5 sizes too big. You'd be wasting your time. Get the pants, unfold them and hold them up to your hips by the sides and if the pants are way bigger than your hips, obviously they won't fit unless your ass is tremendous.

    I am size-illiterate, too...(if it helps to know that you are not alone in this:)
