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?

  1. Impossibile to say if you’re obese or not without knowing your height!

Can’t see a second photo!

ivykaty44 · 29/02/2020 17:20

The far left is a dress in a size 16
Middle is a size 12 dress
Far right is a size 18

AlexaAmbidextra.I am a 10-12 and you said you didn't believe me. I responded to that. I posted because I felt the photo didn't look like a 10-12 so I agree with you but saying you don't believe my size? Well that's fine, whether you believe it or not, that's what it is grin

I said I can’t believe you are a size 10 going by that dreadfully unflattering photo. I didn’t say I can’t believe you are a size 10. If you’re going to get so upset when you get opinions that you yourself have asked for I suggest you don’t post asking for opinions. Confused

ivykaty44 · 29/02/2020 17:20

Yet it’s the same woman on the same day

So how does that work?

Thisismytimetoshine · 29/02/2020 17:20

Where have I been snippy?
Most people have been nice but some people really struggle with kindness. I really feel for them in their world of hatred.

Because they agreed with you Confused

TheJoxter · 29/02/2020 17:20

Really shocked by the people saying 14/16/18! You look a similar size to me and I’m 8-10, occasionally 12 depending on brand

kingkuta · 29/02/2020 17:22

Where have I been snippy? This is a bit more than snippy actually some people really struggle with kindness. I really feel for them in their world of hatred
All anyone on the thread has done is taken a guess at your size from a photo, something you asked them to do. Doesn't mean they are unkind if they guessed wrong!

m0therofdragons · 29/02/2020 17:23

@Thisismytimetoshine I wasn't referencing people who said I was a particular size. A couple of people were quite unkind, saying I'm lying or should lose a stone. It was them I was referring to. As I said, the majority of people worded their comment kindly.

That's a really interesting photo ivy
That black dress certainly adds pounds.

m0therofdragons · 29/02/2020 17:24

@kingkuta there were 2 posters who I don't think commented in the nature of the thread. It was in relation to them. Everyone else has been lovely

I would’ve definitely said a ten looking at the top and a 14 bottom.
But when I looked properly it’s a weird angle and your front leg seems to be doing a funny twisty thing, and I think it makes you look slightly wider iyswim? I wouldn’t say you were even close to overweight though c

thickwoollytights · 29/02/2020 17:25

That photo you look a 16. But that's a bad angle shot. I'd say 14 without the bad angle. Great figure - Marilyn Monroe esque

Hopefulmama34 · 29/02/2020 17:25

Not an easy angle to judge but I’d say either a size 12 or 14, you look good.

BreatheAndFocus · 29/02/2020 17:26

I thought you looked 12-14 but you look all in proportion and healthy. Dress sizes vary so much, so I wouldn’t bother with them. A Size 10 can be tiny in one shop and huge in another. It’s your measurements that count. You look perfectly normal 😊

UnexpectedItemInTheShaggingAre · 29/02/2020 17:26

Ivy, that blew my mind. But that proves the point

Hopefulmama34 · 29/02/2020 17:28

Just seen your later posts and that is pretty much what I thought - around a 12. The photo makes you look more of 14 but it is obviously not taken from a good angle which will make anyone look bigger than they are.

ShirleyPhallus · 29/02/2020 17:28

Absolute lol at the OP posting asking what size she is then getting salty at the responses

Please refer to page 1 where I literally said this would happen......

Greenandpleasanter · 29/02/2020 17:28

OP you do not look like a 16 or even more ridiculous an 18. I thought you were a curvy size 12.

It's probably not a good idea to ask these questions.
