Hi, I’m in the process of losing weight and 9 1/2 is the middle of the healthy bmi guidance and I’m wondering what clothes size this is pls. I know it will be different for different people and in different shops but I’m just looking for the range.

When I was that size I was a 12.

Enterthewolves · 09/08/2025 11:16

Im 5’6’’ and 10st and am 12 (veering on 14) on bottom and a 10/12 on top - need to lose 1/2 stone to be back to a comfortable 12 on bottom!

katmunchkin · 09/08/2025 11:17

10

0LIVESANDWINE · 09/08/2025 11:17

I wear an 8 on top and a 10 on the bottom.
5”6 and just a little over 9 1/2 stone

EsmeWeatherwaxHatpin · 09/08/2025 11:17

When I was that weight I was a 10 on my bottom but still an 8 up top. All my weight was on my bum and legs. I’m half an inch taller than you.

SwayingInTime · 09/08/2025 11:19

I'm a 12 and am 5'3" so assume I would be a 10 if I was 2" taller!

Rizzz · 09/08/2025 11:19

10 or 12.

WinterOnItsWayOut · 09/08/2025 11:21

I’m just a 10 at 10st so would imagine still a 10 but comfortably so. Poss an 8 in places like M&S and Sainsbury’s!

Flossflower · 09/08/2025 11:22

10/12.

5 ft 4.5inches. I am 9st 7lbs.

Hopealong · 09/08/2025 11:23

10

Cutleryclaire · 09/08/2025 11:23

I’m a touch shorter and a touch heavier but 8-10 top and 10 bottom. A 12 would utterly swamp me.

Bythewayimgoingouttonight · 09/08/2025 11:30

I’m 5’4 and 9.6 and I’m a size 8/10 but I’m very fit. Many years ago at this weight and before I started strength training and spinning I was a size 10/12.

Figcherry · 09/08/2025 11:34

You have to factor age in too.
I'm in my 60's, I'm 5ft 4in and weigh only
7st 2lbs due to illness.
I wear 8/10 clothes .
Obviously I have lost lots of tone and muscle and will never be as slim as someone under 50 with my weight.

Nevertrustacop · 09/08/2025 11:39

ChrisMartinsKisskam · 09/08/2025 11:46

TakeMe2Insanity · 09/08/2025 11:49

Being 2 inches taller wouldn’t automatically bring you down a size.

Focusispower · 09/08/2025 11:59

I am an 8-10 at 9 1/2 stone at 5’5. Usually an 8 on top and 10 on the bottom.

Franpie · 09/08/2025 12:02

Size 8 in most shops. Occasionally, a size 10.

JaaamesBaaaxterrr · 09/08/2025 12:11

I'm exactly that height and weight and im a size 8. I mostly shop in Next, H&M, Fatface, etc. I'm 44yo if that's relevant.

Hermanfromguesswho · 09/08/2025 12:14

I would say an 8.
I’m 5’4 and about 11 stone and I’m a size 10 most of the time, occasionally a 12!

NebulouslyContemporaneous · 09/08/2025 12:14

Usually a 10, sometimes a 12, occasionally an 8.

There is no uniformity between brands. It seems crazy to me that I am ever an 8. Years ago that was just for the super-skinnies

HostaCentral · 09/08/2025 12:15

I would say 8/10, depending on your shape.

AtomicBlondeRose · 09/08/2025 12:15

5’ 4” and about 9.5 stone and I’m mostly an 8, 10 sometimes. I’d be swimming in a 12!
