I'm currently 40-34-36. 6' tall.
Hoping to go down to a 30 on waist, over time. My pelvis seems primed to get in the way, though - it extends up to my belly button. :(

My waist size currently is right at 31".  I'm 5'10" and weigh 145 with measurements at 39-31-38. So I'm kind of fat.

 I'm sitting at a 24" waist.

I'm pretty small in general, at 5'4", 100lbs, and 32" hip and bust measurements (more or less). Hopefully, a little weight gain will put those to 33" or 34", so I'll actually be able to fit into normal-sized things.

Well, those averages are for the US, where a very great number of people are quite overweight. For women, 166lbs is the average weight at the average height of 5'4" - that is a very, very large amount of weight for someone that small. So it's only natural that the average waist circumference would be extraordinarily large.

I also noted my weight and height specifically. Given that I'm a fair bit underweight, my waist circumference is quite believable. Compare it to my hip and bust measurements (which are still smaller than the average American female's waist), and it's rather fair - the ratio isn't even appropriate for an hourglass shape, with how small the rest of me is.

I'm just over 6'0, I'm currently at 238 lbs (which is dropping, thankfully. I was at 261 when I started HRT.)

My waist is 36" at last measurement. When I first started HRT, it was all the way up at 40", but HRT has been VERY nice to me in terms of dropping the fat on my midsection.

Hips: 44.5"
Waist: 36"
Bust: 44.5"

Carrie, That's nice to read.

I'm resuming HRT & it sure would be nice to have some nice curves. I'm 5' 9" & was maybe 150 with a nice body while on HRT, waist was maybe 26-28. Now some years later I'm a good 30 pounds heavier with an ugly 34 waist.

Height,   6' 1/2"
Weight: 164 lbs
Hips: 39.5 "
Waist: 32"
Bust:  37"/ 40"

Bust and hips have changed quite a bit with HRT, treatment uninterrupted since Sept 2010.
Overall, this limited sample would seem to show that T ladies are considerably slimmer than the average female population....but we sort of knew that already, didn't we?  ;)

I'm 5'11 about 180# with a waist at 34 inches

Tall is fun and we sure don't need heels.  Somehow women's clothes seem to be made for someone my height as I fit perfectly into size 10-12 dresses and pants while my 5'4 cis gendered wife has more challenges finding fits.  On HRT for a month now my breasts resemble a 13 yo in puberty while some of my friends tease me about being that age in a fashion and maturity sense too.  Jeezz so I like miniskirts and I am old, get over it.   My legs look great and you can have fun in a free country too, is my reply.  You want to live some place where we should all wear burkas?  Sadly, the USA is dealing with epidemic levels of obesity so let's keep active ladies.

Nice pix Christine! I think Pecky's figures are probably recent and take into account the huge influx of morbidly obese men and women we are suddenly seeing in this country.

Yes. I am always preoccupied with my waist size, and I exercise nearly everyday to keep the status quo. I am 6 feet (183 cm) with about 27 inch waist. Because of the size inflation, I usually wear US ladys' size 4 or juniors' size 3.

Some of us are not skinny Minnie's, we are pleasingly plump. 
Before starting HRT: 5'11" 230lbs. And 67 years young.
Breast:  46"
Waist: 41"
Hips: 44"
Left thigh: 24

After 15 months on HRT: 250lbs.  Ugh
Breast: 48"
Waist: 41"
Hips: 48.5"
Left thigh: 27"

At least, the weight seems to be going to the right places.

These days I can suck it in to 29, but 30 is realistic. It was smaller when I weighed less, but at 5'11" I look a bit too bony at less than my present 127 lbs. I guess we ectomorphs have always had a bit of advantage at looking ladylike.
