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?

I'd say 14 but possibly 12. You look great.

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

A tall person who's a size 10 for example looks a lot slimmer that someone who's 5ft and size 10.

Helplessandheartbroke · 25/02/2024 18:42

I'd guess a 12

Hibye23289 · 25/02/2024 18:45

8-10 I think your legs are small, I'm surprised at all the 14 comments and even 12

DramaAlpaca · 25/02/2024 18:48

I have no idea of your size so I'm not going to guess, but you look great.

CuttingMeOpenthenHealingMeFine · 25/02/2024 18:48

Agree with those saying size 10.

EricaJohns · 25/02/2024 18:51

I'm no good at this.

Depends on shop too so 10/12 I'd say in some shops.

Whatever the label says, i think you look great. Legs lovely shape and nice pinch at the waist etc. in contrast, I'm a human space hopper...

Well done on the weight loss!

You look fab, ignore the comment which has made you make this post.

Lauren0000 · 25/02/2024 18:52

12

It's also a photo which adds a few pounds so in real life the OP will look smaller.

lozrox90 · 25/02/2024 18:55

Thank you to everyone who's commented, you have all made me feel a lot better! I know you should try and ignore other people's comments about your appearance but this was a 'friend' (🤔) who asked me yesterday if I wanted some of her old plus-sized clothes that are now too big for her - apparently she thought they would fit me nicely! I've recently lost almost 2 stone so it was a bit disheartening 😬

Neolara · 25/02/2024 18:55

Either a 12 or a 14. I only think possibly a 14 because you are so tall. If you'd told me you were 5 foot 4, I'd have thought you were a size 10.

Dacadactyl · 25/02/2024 18:56

8-10 on top, 12-14 on bottom.

lozrox90 · 25/02/2024 18:56

Name change fail but oh well 😂

Coconutter24 · 25/02/2024 18:56

12/14

Baileyscream · 25/02/2024 18:58

10/12 and you look fantastic

Helplessandheartbroke · 25/02/2024 18:58

@lozrox90 she was jealous of your weight loss! Are you gonna tell us what size? Also name change failed :)

A tall person who's a size 10 for example looks a lot slimmer that someone who's 5ft and size 10.

Yes, a size 4 (0) model at 5ft 8 or taller is going to look a lot thinner than a 5ft woman the same clothes size who may just be petite all over.

FinallyFeb · 25/02/2024 18:59

So what size are you OP?

ChanelNo19EDT · 25/02/2024 19:00

I had that experience once too, a woman a size bigger than me offered me clothes that were too big for her now!!! I laughed (to myself).

3WildOnes · 25/02/2024 19:00

I would have said a 10. Possibly a 12 as you are tall. You look great!

ElectricMinge · 25/02/2024 19:01

14 to 16uk
Because we look slimmer when nobody else to compare with is next to us. You might be a 12uk but i guessed 14 to 16 because you're tall, alone and wearing dark clothes I would not be surprised if you are 14 to 16uk. You don't look fat or bad or unattractive.

Oakbeam · 25/02/2024 19:01

No idea what size but you are in dire need of a haircut.

itsalwaysthesame · 25/02/2024 19:02

14 to 16

FortunataTagnips · 25/02/2024 19:04

12-14. You look lovely - slim and athletic.
