What size would you guess I am?

Just as the title says really. I've lost quite a bit of weight recently and felt I looked OK, but received a comment yesterday which suggests otherwise! I'm 5 foot 8 for reference.

What size would you guess I am?

Size 12

DoAsYouWouldBeMumBy · 25/02/2024 18:09

Depends on the shop but I’d guess size 10?

iwafs · 25/02/2024 18:09

You look nice

height does take you up dress sizes, so maybe a 12?

bumblefeline · 25/02/2024 18:09

10-12?

Whyisthatweird · 25/02/2024 18:09

10 top 12 bottom

MaryActsLikeSheDontCare · 25/02/2024 18:10

I’d say a 12 too (or medium) but maybe a 10 with vanity sizing in some stores

CharmedCult · 25/02/2024 18:10

I’d say 12.

Oldermum84 · 25/02/2024 18:10

12 in Next. 8 in m&s.

Jessforless · 25/02/2024 18:10

I’d say 10-12 too. You look great!

eatdrinkandbemerry · 25/02/2024 18:10

I'd guess a 10 or 12

Bibblybumblebee · 25/02/2024 18:11

Yeah I’d say a 12

Rattai · 25/02/2024 18:11

14 ...you look great

bingoringo4 · 25/02/2024 18:11

10/12

LemmysBullet · 25/02/2024 18:11

10-12 looking great.

Gwenhwyfar · 25/02/2024 18:12

How can we tell when you're wearing a winter coat?

Kelsgirls · 25/02/2024 18:12

A lovely size. 10/12

What now? Confused How are you explaining size zero
models?

TwentyFirstCenturyOracle · 25/02/2024 18:13

I was between 10 and 12 but as you are tall I'm going to say 12. You look great and I don't know why anyone would be making comments implying your body was not looking ok.

Pineapplewaves · 25/02/2024 18:13

Size 12?

Windymillering · 25/02/2024 18:13

Whoever made you feel rubbish is best ignored. No one should be commenting on your body- size, shape or anything else

ArsMamatoria · 25/02/2024 18:13

You're tall, so I'd say 10 for tops and skirts, 12-14 for trousers, depending on style and store. You look fantastic, OP!

90yomakeuproom · 25/02/2024 18:14

I think 12 but your pockets on your coat could be unflattering so maybe a 10?

No it doesn't! Your bones are your bones!

caringcarer · 25/02/2024 18:15

12 top and 14 bottom. You look good. Difficult to tell with the coat on.

lemmefinish · 25/02/2024 18:17

No it doesn't! Your bones are your bones!

But someone who is tall is longer so often looks thinner or do you think a 5ft person who is size 10 looks the same as a 6ft person who is size 10?
