Saw another thread which inspired this. I'm 5'5, fluctuate between just under and just above 10 stone, and I wear a size 8 on top and size 10 or 12 on the bottom, generally. I don't really have much boobs lol and my hips are quite wide in comparison to everything else. My stomach isnt flat, as in it sticks out a little bit which is my least favourite part of my body but I wouldn't really call myself fat!
What about you?

I’m 5ft 3. Usually 9 and a half stone, though have been anywhere between 9 and 10 stone at various points. I’m quite muscular and stocky, apple shape (not got much of a belly but don’t have a defined waist). Small hips, small boobs but broad ribs and shoulders. Usually size 8-10 on bottom and 10-12 on top.

Same as you OP except I am quite big chested, I do feel overweight and the moment (though I'm not "technically") and feel much better closer to 9st7 but tend to more naturally sit around 10st when I eat what I want! I wear 10/12 (more 12 atm).

I've struggled with it for years as I look quite slim except for my stomach, I wear hair extensions now and I look smaller as when I have my natural hair (above my shoulders) it makes my shoulders look quite big, but with my extensions it's balanced me out a lot and given me a lot more confidence as I now look smaller. I think I have an hourglass body type just without the boobs as my shoulders and hips are around the same size, my waist goes in quite a bit but my hip dips ruin it! But my legs and arms are quite slim so learning what suits me along with my hair extensions (cut my hair off a few years ago and has been my biggest insecurity since) has really helped me understand I'm not as big as I always thought of myself as.

5'6''
61kg (think that's 9 stone 9 lbs)
Size 12
Have chunky thighs, hips are around 37'' but waist is 32''

To have a 'healthy' size waist I have to lose 3kg and then I lose weight around my stomach but I find that v tough to do as my weight is ok it's just the distribution of it iyswim. But that waist/hip ratio puts me in the obese category.

I haven't done my measurements for a few years because I used to obsess over it, but mine would probably also be over the 'normal' measurement too. From the front my waist is quite small, but it does stick out a bit from the side. I think this is probably due to years of bad diet causing me to look a bit bloated. I also do drink a lot sometimes and vape almost constantly so that probably doesn't help lol

I think it is interesting that you want to look smaller

what makes you think women ought to look small/dainty/petite and not have wide shoulders for example?

yours sincerely

6ft 12 stone size 12-14 😁😁😁

I have muscular shoulders and wide hips and am taller than lots of guys… and I like it

I didnt mean it in a way against feminism or the patriarchy or whatever! I want to look smaller because personally I like looking that way but personally I think all women are beautiful and I mean that sincerely, my best friend is built bigger than me, bigger shoulders etc and I think she is the prettiest girl in the world.

Your waist is the narrowest bit, isn’t it? So it won’t stick out.

5'2" weight 50kg (around 7 stone 12"), in my 50s. Size depends on brand, usually an 8-10 on the top, but to fit comfortably on my waist (28-29") I need a 10-12 on the bottom.

I think I naturally have very little waist, the only time I've had a size 8-10 waist (to 'match' the rest of me) is when my weight dropped to around 7 stone & I felt seriously underweight overall. Fortunately I also have long legs and a short body, so 10-12 trousers are generally about length wise.
