sure, i completely and totally understand that dilemma, i've been losing weight over the past year, i was a size 42,32 pants wear xxl's tight and now i wear larges tight and xls really loose, and 36,32 or 34,32's but my hips are starting to show through the front and my ribs are starting to get exposed on my sides (i still have that damn pudgy belly and manboob problems) which is pretty much the only places i can lose fat from now hahaha besides uhm my butt (which unfortunately has gotten smaller too >.<)
personally sizes 4 and under never look pretty, and a size 5-10 should be on someone with a petite frame otherwise, bones start sticking out and ruining the curves... murrr
