Hopefully not a too odd a request.
I was wondering if anyone who is a comfortable size 12 in jeans could tell me the measurements of your hips, thighs and calves.

I've been working on shifting the baby weight to get back into my old clothes, I'm almost at my old weight but alot bigger this time than I was pre baby so I'm now focusing on inches and I have no idea what I'm aiming for.

So if any of my unknown body idols wouldn't mind sharing there measurements I'd be so grateful.

Feel free to throw in your waist bust too if you like.. Grin

I always buy jeans by waist size, never by clothes size.
Clothes size varies from shop to shop anyway.
I have the same problem of jeans being tight on my legs and loose on my waist, so I've mostly stopped wearing them, and opt for tops and skirts, with tops tucked in.

Just out of interest, I measured myself.
Bust 38
Waist 26
Hips 37
Thighs 21
Calves 14

No idea what size I am, but it's hard to find clothes that fit properly. I alter everything

And I like Paige jeans.

When I am a 28 inch waist and 39 inch hips I am a 12. I am too scared to measure my thighs :(

Brilliant question OP, I'm currently a 14 and trying to get down to a 12 which I think will be roughly another stone but really helpful to see measurements!

I generally wear a 12. Occasionally 10 on the bottom or 14 on the top (boobs and shoulders) but generally a comfortable 12. Bust - 38”, waist - 29”, hips - 39.5”
