I really struggle with not feeling good or pretty enough and when someone asked me what size my dress was she said she thought it would've been at least a 16 not a 10.

Sounds like someone catty who was trying to put you down. I was going to guess size 10 and 60kg (9st6lb). Bet they’re the type of person to also share ‘be kind’ posts on social media!

Not to be rude, but is suspect thats because you appear to have (quite attractive) full boobs, that may look bigger in that high necked dress giving the illusion the dress would be bigger than it is in the bust.

But dress size aside (you dont like a size 16 though) youve a lovely, slim but nice shaped figure

Well, knowing that my workspace on top of my kitchen cupboards are 845-850mm above floor level and that I'm 1750mm tall, I'm guessing that we are approximately the same height ... 1.75 metres (about 5' 9" to 5' 9.5" in old measurements.

I'd guess that as you look lean, maybe small-medium build, you'd have a mass of 56-59kg.

So, what height and mass are you in real life?

Cute that you'd go to all that trouble to work out countertop heights instead of just reading what the OP wrote 😂

VivienneDelacroix · 22/10/2025 23:17

These threads are always eye opening. All of these 11 stone, sz12 answers... I'm 5ft7 and at 11 stone world be a Sz16. I'm currently 10 stone and a Sz14. At 9.5 stone I might just about be a 12, but a comfy 12 at 9st. At 8.5 stone I was a bigger sz 10.

Senseandsensitivity · 22/10/2025 23:15

I havent read all, but i thought probably a size 10 around 10 stone

LightDrizzle · 22/10/2025 23:14

Size 10. Slim.

tealsea · 22/10/2025 23:14

I'm not a million miles off your measurements (5ft9 and 10stone10) but I AM a size 16 so people really do carry weight differently. To be size 12 I need to weigh about 9 stone and to be size 10 I am bordering on underweight.

You're tall that's why you can fit into size 10 clothes comfortably. You have a lovely figure please don't change. We all have different body shapes and heights that fit into different sizes.

lljkk · 22/10/2025 19:49

Anywhere between 10 & 15 stone.

There's no way she's 15 stone.

That person was being an ahole. You absolutely do not look “at least” a size 16. I’d have said size 12 at most.

Falseknock · 22/10/2025 22:59

I am guessing 11 stone. Your figure looks great don't be skinny. Life will be so boring.

What jealous bitch said that? No way would anyone think size 16. My first thought was wow that outfit looks great! Then I read your question and thought 10/12 and 10stone-ish. You should feel confident with that figure!

JayJayj · 22/10/2025 22:48

Size 12 11st ish

RausMitDerLaus · 22/10/2025 22:47

I was going to say size 10 and I think you look amazing. Also, i really like the dress!!

Blackbookofsmiles1 · 22/10/2025 22:44

Size 10- about 11 stone?

YumYa · 22/10/2025 22:43

Disturbia81 · 22/10/2025 20:20

I look like that at 13 stone 5ft 7. Wide skeleton so I carry weight well. We are all different shapes

Show quote history

No way. I'm 5 ft 8 and 13st and a lot bigger than op. I have an athletic build. You're deluded.

@takeadaytomyself2025 you look gorgeous lass take no notice of jealous bastards.

KitTea3 · 22/10/2025 22:42

Honestly I don't think you can tell from a picture.

Everyone carries weight differently.

At my heaviest I was 21st, and a size 22.
At my lightest was about 9st and a size 8/10.
Currently around 13st and in a 14.

🤷🏼‍♀️

Daftypants · 22/10/2025 22:39

Because you’re taller than average, I’d say a size 12 ish .
Weight ?? I have no idea

Singlepringleheretomingle · 22/10/2025 22:34

You have a lovely figure - whoever said otherwise was being deliberately mean.

FemWoman · 22/10/2025 22:34

You don't look 16 wth. You look 12 to me in this photo. :)

Sugarnspicenallthingsnaice · 22/10/2025 22:33

Classic MN, the sheer number of posts from people who jump in without bothering to read the OP properly or her updates.

OP please believe people when they tell you that only someone who is trying to have a dig at you would say you're a 16. Unless they are so at one extreme or the other that they have no idea of the reality of middle-of-the-range sizing. The vast majority of people correctly guessed 10-12.

arcticpandas · 22/10/2025 22:29

takeadaytomyself2025 · 22/10/2025 20:12

10st 5 and size 10 to 12 depending on shop. I was called fat today and its really got to me :( Most people were pretty spot on

Same height as you and same size 10/12 but you have a nicer bossom than I have. You look lovely.

MonGrainDeSel · 22/10/2025 22:27

Oh mate, you in no way look like a size 16. Your 'friend' is not your friend. Steer well clear of whoever said this to you. It was said purely to hurt. You look a completely normal healthy weight and you have a lovely figure.

TyroleanKnockabout · 22/10/2025 22:26

Ignore ‘em OP, you’re clearly not fat.

My manager once guessed my size for a work uniform as “12 or 14?”- I was 5’2, 8 stone and an 8-10. I was never sure if she was being catty or genuinely couldn’t tell I wasn’t a 14!
