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.

That's my height and weight and I am a 12

BlackZebraStripes · 09/08/2025 18:07

I'm 5.6 and when I'm 9.5 stone I'm probably 10, depends on the brand.

TheSeventh · 09/08/2025 18:11

I am 5'6 and I was a size 12 when I weighed 9.5 stone.

I'm 8 1/2 stone and 5ft5 and can be anything from a 6 to a 10. It will really depend how you are built and where you shop.

7catsisnotenough · 09/08/2025 18:44

10/12 OP, although a lot depends on where you're shopping!

TimetoGetUpNow · 09/08/2025 18:50

When I was that I was a 12. But I’ve got larger than average boobs and split stomach muscles from big baby, so probably a 10 without that

ComeTheMoment · 13/08/2025 15:27

10 to 12. I’ve got narrow shoulders and thunder thighs

SardinesOnGingerbread · 13/08/2025 15:31

8-10 top, 10-12 bottom

WellThisIsFranklyDreadful · 13/08/2025 15:33

I was a size 8 at that height and weight. Sadly much heavier and larger now!

MeridaBrave · 13/08/2025 15:34

It’s going to depend on how much muscle mass ion have. I’m 5 4 at 10 stone and am a size 10. At 9 and a half I expect to be a size 8. But I have good muscle mass.

Blondebrownorred · 13/08/2025 15:36

Im 5ft 4 and 9.5 stone. Im a size 8. I have a lot of muscle though.

How do you know how much muscle you have ? Can it be measured ?

Muchadobird · 14/08/2025 06:39

So much variation. Guess it very much depends on body shape, muscle mass etc

I’m 5 feet6 height and weight 8stone 5 lb and am a size 6-10 depending on shop. At the weight you say, I’d be a 10-12 I reckon.

autienotnaughty · 14/08/2025 06:46

I was a 10 on top and a 10/12 on bottom

Ahh my body twin!!!

KPPlumbing · 14/08/2025 06:56

I'm 5ft4 and, until this year, was always 9st5 and was a size 10.

Chasingsquirrels · 14/08/2025 07:12

5"6.
Currently 10"7' (v slowly losing as have been 11" for a while). 10s were getting tight on me and are now comfortable.
At my lowest around 9 years ago I was 9&1/2 and was comfortably in 8s.

Zippidydoodah · 14/08/2025 07:13

I was a 10 when I was this weight (I’m the same height as you).

Sunshineandgrapefruit · 14/08/2025 07:41

10-12

Emmaemma13 · 14/08/2025 07:42

10-12

Ohmygodthepain · 14/08/2025 07:47

I was a solid 10 at that weight.

At 8.5st I was an 8 (during awful divorce), 10.5st solid 12 and desperately trying to keep below 11st now as barely anything fits me!

scaredfriend · 14/08/2025 08:43

I’m 5’6” and a 12 was a loose / comfy fit on me at that weight. I could squeeze into some 10s, but the 12s felt better.
I’m now 10st3lb and bang in the middle of a size 12.

Coffeeandcake32 · 14/08/2025 08:46

I'm a 10 (exact weight and height) but can still fit in a lot of my dresses that are a size 8. Jeans would be a no go though!

VeryStressedMum · 14/08/2025 08:51

I am 5'5 and weigh 60-61kg which is about 9st6 ish and I am generally a size 12. Sometimes the 12 is a little big but the 10 is a bit tight but other times the 10 will fit ok.
I'll always wear a size small
