I am just under 5'8" and 135...size 8 ( or medium) for slacks (although I have to buy 'long') and 12 for shirts. As I was losing weight, I noticed the sizes went down one full size for every 10 lbs I lost. (45 lbs-from a 14 to an 8). Junior sizes (3,5,7,9, etc) are cut slimmer than misses (4,6,8,10, etc) and the shirts and sweaters are very short in the arms and bodice compared to their closest 'misses' counterpart.
