If you're a size 10 or 12, what are your measurements?

Just curious really to see how different shapes are the same clothing size.

I'd say I'm a "big" size 10, where most of my clothes are a 10 but some are a 12.

Hips (wildest part of body): 96cm / 95cm on a good morning with no bloating Grin
Waist: 70cm
Underbust: 76cm

Does that sound like a 10 or a 12??

I used to be a "small" 10 where most of my clothes were a 10 but some were an 8 and I'd like to get back to that!

Those measurements sound like a 10 to me, pushing 12 in maybe some brands or styles

Thank you! That's what a tough. A big 10 which means I'm a 12 in some brands.

My shape has completely changed since having DC even though the weight is the same so I feel like I need a whole new wardrobe!

Hips 96cm
Waist 84cm
Under bust 86cm

I wear size 12 tops and size 10 jeans although that’s probably vanity sizing as they are M&S jeans.

Interested in this thread?

I'd say I'm a 'big' size ten too.

Under bust 72
Waist 68
Hips 95

Also 5'6" and 143lbs if that sheds any additional light.

UrsulaBirkin · 26/07/2020 11:43

Also a ten in m and s jeabs but not in many other places I'd wager!

willbeback · 26/07/2020 12:19

@UrsulaBirkin I'm 5"7 and weigh 139lb

Funny how there are so many shapes around!

I'm 5ft5 and a big 10 to

Bust 95 (that's top of boobs, I can see others are using under bust)
Waist 81
Hips 96

BearSoFair · 26/07/2020 12:52

Hips 92cm
Waist 72cm
Underbust 76cm

Usually a 10 in trousers but I have very broad shoulders so always a 12 (14 in some styles) in tops.

BearSoFair · 26/07/2020 12:53

Oh and I'm 5'5 and weigh 55.5kg (all the 5's there!)

So interesting.

I’m around your measurements OP (71cm waist, 93cm hips, and the same underbust) and yet I’m a UK8. UK10s are genuinely too big all over.

I’m taller than you though.
