What size would you guess I am?

Today I've seen a photo of me and I feel I look much bigger than I thought I was. Dh thinks I look fine. I'm wondering if my brain is just completely unable to identify what is normal anymore.

What dress size (UK) would you think I am and where on the bmi - healthy - overweight or obese?

I'd guess at 14-16, BMI overweight to obese depending on height which is impossible to tell from the picture

GMAILFAIL · 29/02/2020 16:09

12-14
. Love the kitty/Totoro top

NomDeQwerty · 29/02/2020 16:09

M&S 14 or possibly 16.

BedraggledBlitz · 29/02/2020 16:09

I can only see one pic. You look similar to me and I'm a 12/14.

16 amd overweight

AnxietyForever · 29/02/2020 16:11

14?

jeremypaxo · 29/02/2020 16:11

A size 14-16. Perhaps carrying a few extra pounds but you look toned and, crucially, have a flat stomach!

Hoolajerry · 29/02/2020 16:11

Was trying to add slightly to the overweight!

ellenpartridge · 29/02/2020 16:12

12-14

I don’t think we can guess dress size, as it depends on height.
What did you think your BMI was?

collywobblescar · 29/02/2020 16:13

14-16 but a bad angle

kingkuta · 29/02/2020 16:13

Cant see that much but look around a UK 16

bobstersmum · 29/02/2020 16:14

I think 14 top and 16 bottom bit it's a bad angle to tell really.

LimpidPools · 29/02/2020 16:14

If you don't tell us your height, then you're likely going to get answers that upset you.

My ideal dress size is a 14. But if you're 4 foot 8 and I tell you that you look like a 14, you're probably going to find it upsetting!

Elouera · 29/02/2020 16:14

I'd guess your tops larger than the bottom as your bust looks rather large- 16G/H size? and Bottom half size 14? Not a great pic though, so difficult to say.

starsinyourpies · 29/02/2020 16:15

14-16

Pentium85 · 29/02/2020 16:15

Please return OP!

ScarlettBlaize · 29/02/2020 16:16

Size 18 bmi 28.

Tootea · 29/02/2020 16:16

It's a really bad angle so hard to tell very well. I would say anything from a 12-16.

m0therofdragons · 29/02/2020 16:17

Okay - just to answer those saying I'll be upset by the responses; I don't think the picture is flattering (which is what the debate with dh is about) as I know my weight and what size clothes I wear.

I'm a healthy bmi (slightly above middle of the healthy range) and am a 10-12. Mostly 10 on top and can wear some 10s on the bottom but if the bottoms are fitted then I go for a 12 (but have space round the waist). I have full thighs and always have done.

I appreciate the comment that I have a flat tummy as that is my worry area after 3 dc including twins.

12/14. You don't look overweight to me.
