What size do you think I am?

Question

I'm sending in a few shots to some more upscale modeling agencies in NY as right now it's a bit of a drive for me to go to an open call, I have to fill out a little questionnaire online and they asked for my size and I'm kinda stumped. I've bought a dress at H&M; that was a size 2 that fit snugly, but at American eagle and such I'm always in 00/XXS. (Also keep in mind these are US sizes) I tried looking online but nearly every sizing chart was different. Should I just go straight down the middle and put 0? What do you guys think? (I'm 5'7" (yeah I know short for a model) and around 105lbs, measurements are approx 32/23/33)

Thanks for the help 😊

I'm sitting on my couch with a double chin, eating cheez-its. I opened this post and got very sad. 😂😂😂

Answer

I worked professionally in NYC and Europe and all over the world as a model for 16 years. Was represented by only top agencies - Wilhelmina, Ford, Storm in london, etc. 
The "ideal" hip measurement for a high fashion or runway model is 34 inches, which is a 0. Anything over that and they ask you to lose weight. So you are a 00. 
I'll put it this way- 
A size 25 pant is a 0
A size 26 is a 2
And so on. 
However, high fashion models are expected to be a minimum of 5'9" so
I would lie about your height in your submission. Say you're 5'8" or even 5'9". 
Top agencies pay almost no attention to "open calls" or "open submissions" so to give yourself your best shot to get your foot in the door, lie about height. 
However, you look very fit. You could do fitness modeling (it's more commercial) and be shorter than the typical minimum 5'9" requirement and that could be a good route for you. They make good money and have lots of work options in NYC for print and fit work. 
Best of luck!

Answer

H&M; sizes small. I don't have much experience with American Eagle but I know that they are more true. More expensive brands are often sized bigger anyway.
