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) .

I'm 5ft 6in. 12 stone 5 and a size 16-18.
I also cannot understand how some people claim to be a 12-14 at the same height and weight as me and can only assume they wear their clothes very tight.

I am your height and at 12st 5 i was a very comfortable 14. People carry weight differently

Hotpants123 · 27/11/2025 12:18

I am 5ft 3, 12 stone size 14, hourglass with big boobs, I recon they add 1/2 stone.

At 16 stone I was an 18 - 20
At 14 stone a size 16
At 13 stone 14/16

I still can wear my size 18 stretch jeans. My dresses I have to give away.
I would like another stone off and fit into a 12 comfortably (maybe bottom half at least).

4 stone off MJ - best think I have done. I just love it.

I'm 5'3", 14 stone 2 and a size 16 on the bottom and 20 on top because all my weight is boobs and upper body. I look ridiculously top heavy and fatter than I am because of this. It drives me mad.

5’5 14st and size 16, in January I was 19st2 and a size 20/ 22

BoarBrush · 27/11/2025 13:47

I think it really depends on your frame.

I'm 5'5, 8 st 4 and typically wear 4-6 tops and 8 bottoms. I have broad shoulders, very short shoulder to armpit, a small ribcage, small waist and a very wide but short pelvis.

3lbs either way on me can make a massive difference to my shape.

And shops clothing sizes are a load of shite nowadays.

Mintteaplease · 27/11/2025 14:29

5’ 6” and usually weigh between 10 and 11 stone. Pear shaped. Size 12-14 generally but sometimes buy size 10 or 16 depending on the cut and how I want to wear them etc.

HRTQueen · 27/11/2025 14:39

5'2
Just under 11 stone
Size 12 occasionally 14 in trousers

I weight a lot more than people think I do. I have a small build and big boobs and bum which I think add the weight. Even doctors have been surprised at my weight

evilharpy · 27/11/2025 14:44

5' 6", about 9st 5lbs (I fluctuate up or down by a few lbs on any given day), size 8 or XS in most shops although 8s are sometimes a bit big and I'm refusing to buy a 6. I'm a pear shape with lipodema so ALL of my weight is on my bottom half, I still can't zip most knee length boots up fully because my calves are so chunky but my shoulders are very bony and there's very little fat at all on my top half.

I'm currently lower than my usual weight (gained a lot of weight due to a series of health issues, lost it again using mounjaro and am now meant to be maintaining but have also been through a period of extreme work stress which has made me lose my appetite). I generally hover somewhere between 10st 10lbs and 11st 2lbs. Even at the top end of that I would usually be a S or 10, occasionally a 12 in jeans or 8 in tops in a few shops.

At my absolute highest weight I was 16st 10lbs - I gained the weight very quickly so am not really sure what size I was, but I was buying an XL in baggy hoodies and leggings. For that short period I don't think I even owned a pair of jeans that fit. I'd guess probably an 18 but even then I didn't have much of a belly.

Missymarple · 27/11/2025 15:33

5ft5, 11 stone 4 ( am on MJ) and a size 14. I look very different to my colleague who is almost exactly the same height and weight as I am. She carries a her weight in her bum and hips so can do much curvier looks. I'm surprisingly rectangular with a stubborn menopause spare tyre so waists are problematic for me. It's been a real education in how different our bodies can be while still within the same parameters.

springtome · 27/11/2025 15:33

I’m 163cm/5,4 and weigh about 109kg/17 stone and a few lbs (my weight goes up and down by a couple of kg through the week). I’ve dropped from 143kg/22.5 stone in January when I was a dress size 24 and I’m now a dress size 18/20.

weight and dress size really doesn’t seem to be consistent with OP being taller than me, weighing less but needing a big clothes size.
