I am very curious about this.. because l read that some women who are the same height and weight as me.. say they are a much smaller dress size.. l know different stores etc vary ..
I am 5ft 7 ..l was 20 stone last year and a size 28.. ( l do have large breasts) l have lost 5 stone (15 st) and now a size 20.. but l keep seeing on the net in mounjaro groups etc .. that people of my height and weight are saying they are a size 16...
When l was younger l was always around 9st to 9 and half and size 12...only put a stone on with both daughters and soon lost it.
Age 38 had a total hysterectomy and went to 12 stone size 14 and stayed there for years until my accident and broke both hips and pelvis 12 years ago and the weight went on and on.
With mounjaro ive lost 5 stone and can now have my new hip. I'm age 67 ( well will be this Friday) .

5'8" 68kg size 10-12 age 51
Quite muscular build

CaptainCallisto · 27/11/2025 08:02

5'10", 16st6, and a size 20.

Up until about two years ago, I was 14st and a comfortable size 16. A very stressful couple of years, and a massive decline in my mental health, have seen me eat my way up the scales!

butterdish93 · 27/11/2025 08:03

Im 5ft 1. I fluctuate between 55-66 kg (not great I know!) but no matter what, I’m always a size 10!!

Bhbhhnhnvvghk · 27/11/2025 08:03

I’m 16st 7 this morning.

18-20 on top , and I’m currently wearing 24 jeans that fit well .

I too have lost quite a bit of weight- 85lb since this time last year. My trouser size has hardly changed… but top size has gone down from a 26-28

have to say I used to wear more stretchy things then I tend to now .

also as you know- different styles and shops sizes are different

Leakingconfidenceandrespect · 27/11/2025 08:06

I'm 54kg, 5ft1 and size 6. I can fit into some size 4s. The issue I have (and many women probably) is diastasis recti and larger than average breasts for my frame. So whereby I may be a size 4 on top, I need a size 6 for these areas.
Dd also wears a size 4/6 is 46.45kg and 5ft 4, with a flatter stomach and smaller breasts.

Periperi2025 · 27/11/2025 08:07

5ft 8, 13st (down from 16st6 on mounjaro)

Size 16 top (depending on fit) 36F boobs
Size 14 L jeans

My boobs do not appear to be affected by mounjaro. At the rate I'm going i will be remaining a size 16 top. To be fair when i was young and slim i was a 32G.

NerrSnerr · 27/11/2025 08:07

I’m 5ft1, 10st5 and a size 12. Earlier this year I was 12.5 stone and was squeezing into size 14s.

Superhansrantowindsor · 27/11/2025 08:08

HansHolbein · 27/11/2025 00:49

Just under 5’5, 8st, size 6, waist about 24in.

Used to be 16st and a size 18-20 (in stretchy clothes), waist about 50in.

Happy Birthday for Friday!

That’s an amazing weight loss. What did you do? I need inspiration.

ResusciAnnie · 27/11/2025 08:09

l was 20 stone last year and a size 28..

I was 18 stone and size 20 so very different - always been SO heavy for my size!! I’ve lost 1.5 stone and still a 20 though. Well done on your amazing 5 stone loss!!

Mounjaro! Don’t waste another minute of your life - order it.

Almostwelsh · 27/11/2025 08:12

5ft 6. Just under 11 stone. I take a size 14, although I can fit into a size 12 in trousers or skirts if they have an elasticated waist.

I have J cup boobs so sometimes I'll need a size 16 top. They never go below an H cup, even when I was 9 stone.

EmeraldDreams73 · 27/11/2025 08:13

5'7", 19 stone, size 20-22. I'm an apple shape and 16-18 trousers are fine if elasticated waist. Need a 20 if not, but generally too big everywhere else. Boobs are big as well, 20-22 tops depending on fit.

At 10 stone 6 I was a size 10-12. I'm a 16 everywhere at around 14 stone.

Interesting seeing how different everyone is! Really want to lose weight (again...) before next summer.

InfoSecInTheCity · 27/11/2025 08:14

At 16 stone and 5ft8 I was a size 20/22.

i am now 9st 10 and a size 10/12.

i no longer have big boobs I do however tend towards an apple shape which affects things like waist band size.

i also really hate the feeling of tight clothes or even slight digging in which I think means I tend towards a baggier fit than other who have the same measurements as me.

Clothing size is crao because it varies by shop and style of clothes, it’s also varied by preference of fit. I think if we compared tape measure numbers the difference would be smaller.

ihatecoffee · 27/11/2025 08:15

5’6”
10 and a half stone
size 10 (an 8 in some styles like drawstring wide leg trousers, or sometimes a 12 in a blazer)

Katrinawaves · 27/11/2025 08:16

I’m 5’7” and 150lbs and wear a size 10 usually, sometimes a 12 on top.

Ineedanewsofa · 27/11/2025 08:18

178cm and as of this morning 79kg (hello healthy BMI!) with an 88cm waist and have just ordered size 14 jeans from H&M, let’s see if they fit!
20 weeks ago I was 100kg with a 100cm waist, busting out of a size 16 and only buying clothes with elasticated waists.
I’m expecting to stay a 14-16 on my top half because of my giant rib cage and fairly sizeable boobs, I also carry a decent amount of muscle which I don’t want to lose so probably won’t lose that much more ‘weight’ but will hopefully get leaner.

YorkshireGoldDrinker · 27/11/2025 08:18

I'm 5'3" and a UK size 10. I don't know what my weight is currently as it will have increased owing to being almost 5 months pregnant with my first baby. I'm using waistband extenders, so technically not a size 10 at the moment. I think I weighed about 56kg earlier this year, but that will have gone up a bit by now. I'm a flatty up top, though. I don't even bother wearing a bra these days, even if they're slightly bigger right now, it's got too painful to wear a bra.

deedeemeloy · 27/11/2025 08:18

I’m 5ft 8, 10stone and wear a 10/12 bottom, 8/10 top. Varies from shop to shop I find though

Bringemout · 27/11/2025 08:18

5ft 2 10st 10
trousers next size 12/14 zara L or XL
tops in Next - vests S/10/ normal tops with arms 12 zara a L (I think)

Sweetiedarling7 · 27/11/2025 08:18

I’m a similar height to you , slightly taller at 5ft 8. I weight 13 stone and am a size 14/16/18 depending on the brand. 16 in M&S, Fatface, Joules. 18 in White Stuff. Can wear a 14 in Per Una which seems to have a generous cut.

That accident sounds dreadful, OP Flowers

171cm (5ft 7ins)
69kg (10st 12lbs)

Size 16-18 usually, but I've got some 14s and even a few size 12s 😳

My real size is 20-22. I have to order 20s from La Redoute.

I do wish UK retailers would standardise their sizing!

Absolutely the sizing is bonkers. I am the same height as you, and about 3kg heavier.
I wear size 12 tops and 14 bottoms, which fit quite loosely. I have clothes from 20years ago, and would need at least 2 sizes bigger on their measurements.

Cucy · 27/11/2025 08:23

I never go by height and weight with dress size.

I’ll always remember being at school and a girl who was much slimmer than me was a good 2 stone heavier than me.

More recently a friend who looked much slimmer than me and was shorter than me was told me her weight and she was almost 2 stone heavier than me too.

I also know some women who are really light and some seem surprisingly light.

I am about a size 12 and very curvy. I also use weights and so probably have a lot of muscle mass too and so always think I’m quite heavy compared to the average.
I stopped weighing myself but I’ve never been under 10stone and never will.
I would guess I am around 11/12 stone now and 5’7”

Vroomfondleswaistcoat · 27/11/2025 08:23

5 ft 6, hovering around 9 stone, size 10. Boobs, small waist, bum. But short legs so I look dumpy and plump in just about everything that isn't skin tight (which, at 64 is NOT a good look on me). It's my birthday on Friday too, happy birthday to us!

Notmycircusnotmyotter · 27/11/2025 08:23
