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.

Surely it depends which shop you buy your clothes from - sizing varies so much between retailers. I’d guess between 10-16 depending where you buy.

You're quite tall so 14 I'd say.

Why would you name-change in the middle of your thread?

avocadotofu · 25/02/2024 19:11

I'd say 10-12 too. You look fab

Pigglyplaystruant99 · 25/02/2024 19:12

12-14 and look great

I’ll guess because it reverted back to a previous name rather than being conscious decision to name change…

Same height as me and I'm a 12 on top and 14 bottom and you look much slimmer than me so I would say a 10, maybe smaller on top.

Aviee · 25/02/2024 19:15

14

fatphalange · 25/02/2024 19:19

14 on top and 16 on the bottom since you're asking! Well done on your weight loss

CharmedCult · 25/02/2024 19:21

Is this one of those threads where the OP doesn't ever come back to reveal what size she actually is? 🙄

LaLaLaLaLolaaa · 25/02/2024 19:23

Thank you everyone, you have all made me feel much better. I am a size 12 currently, but was made to feel as though I look much bigger by a friend's comment yesterday. After recently losing two stone, and thinking I looked OK, it was quite disheartening!

I didn't purposely - it reverted back to the name I usually use on here and I didn't notice.

You look like me with longer legs so 12? Hard to tell with the coat on tbh. You look fine though.

bfsham · 25/02/2024 19:29

Is your friend usually a cow?

lemmefinish · 25/02/2024 19:44

Why are people saying 16?!!!

mummymayhem18 · 25/02/2024 19:45

I would say a size 10-12.

I'm sensing some jealousy from your "friend" OP.

SwordToFlamethrower · 25/02/2024 19:52

12

Kassalah · 25/02/2024 20:29

I'd guess 12 - you look great, well done on the weight loss.
