Mmm, I wear an 18. Usually. But I'm shorttttt.
That is not small at all. A 46 inch waist is not petit. Now the jeans vary on your figure. Consider the size hips you have.
a 6 or 7
You would wear a "medium" size pair of pants.
It would be slightly dependent on how tall you are, but with your measurements I'm sure a 'size 0' would fit you quite snugly. If you're going for a baggier look then a 'size 1' would be better suited. I have a 24 inch waist and 33 inch hips, and a 'size 2' from Hollister are kind of baggy on me.
We're the same size! - I normally end up buying 30"-32" jeans and put up with a loose waist, but then again - I'm a guy...
If you wear a size two, you would probably wear about a 23x30 in mens jeans
About 34w30l in mens size.. but the womens jeans are usually more comfortable so I'd stick with them
a 14
a 24 or 25
A 5'9'' female weighing 185lbs would likely wear size 10-14 jeans. This depends greatly on body shape and muscle to fat ratio.
I have a 31 inch waist and wear a 3/4 in Juniors so i am guessing you would be anywhere from a 4 to a 6
women size 8
