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.

Size 10

You look like me and I'm also 5ft 8 so I'd say a size 12 (like me)

You look great. I thought 10-12 before I saw your update.

You could lose a few extra stone though... in the shape of that "friend"!

12/14. 14 on the bottom.

A little bit hard to tell with the coat, but around a 12.

Wow! Your friend is an absolute Bitch!

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

A taller person needs a bigger item of clothing to cover them even if they're thin so yes, they'll have a big dress size.

Don’t be ridiculous! They might meed longer legged Jeans but not a bigger size.

There is more of them (length not width) so they need more coverage! Think about it a bit.

Of course it depends on proportions too.

Yep, as a taller person, i can confirm. My BMI is around 21, but I still need a 12-14 on top to cover me adequately.
