Anyone here who weigh 16 stone, what dress are you?

17 stone, size 20.

Yes. Thread title is 16 stone? Then op asks people who weigh 16 stone what size they are. It has got nothing to do with people who weigh 9 stone. I'm completely baffled as to what sort of contribution you think you are making. OK?

I'm about 16 stone, 6ft tall. I usually need a 22-24 top (boobs are a 38JJ...) but wear stretch tops to avoid looking like I'm drowning in my tops. Bottom a fairly consistent 18, but I like a smooth silhouette, could probably do a 16 up but would feel like I looked like an over stuffed sausage.

TastyLentils · 17/02/2018 10:06

strange and varied!

I am a size 16 top (tight fit), 14 bottoms (tight fit) - and I am only 12.5 stone and 5'6"! Big boobs and larger waist, slimmish hips probably make the difference. At 13.5 stone I was probably size 22 top, 16 bottom.

If I was 16 stone I would probably be size 24.

I am also confused at variance. I weigh 3 stone less but am same "dress size".

Perhaps I have a "big" frame though - wide shoulders. Even if I was 11 stone - I'd look pretty slim - but I'd still be a size 12, maybe 14 on top!

I was using my height and weight to show that weight doesn't always equate to size, that it's frame that can affect dress size. Still you think what you wish ya daft woman!

Sostenueto · 17/02/2018 14:13

When I weighed 16 stone I was a size 22. I'm now 14 stone and a size 18/20 at 5' 5" all my weight is round my waist. To think your 16 stone and a size 16 seems a bit optimistic to me unless your really tall??Confused

LakieLady · 17/02/2018 14:17

There's clearly something wrong with me.

I'm 14st, 5'6" and am size 20/22 top and 16/18 bottom.

I think DP must be poking a bicycle pump up my arse when I'm asleep and inflating me.

Sostenueto · 17/02/2018 14:23

LakieladyGrin my hips are smaller than my waist so you can say same about me! I have small boobs but this bulk around waist and skinny legs I'm like an apple on sticks Sad

TolpuddleFarterOATB · 17/02/2018 14:29

5'5 and size 20 when 16 stone

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 17/02/2018 14:34

I definitely think it's boob related!

Cleanermaidcook · 17/02/2018 14:35

Sixteen stone something nearer 17st size 20, 5'6"

Ollivander84 · 17/02/2018 14:48

Sostenueto - this is me at 16 and a half stone, I'm 5ft 10 and in a size 16
Now 14 and a half stone and a size 14 bottom, 16 top

Sostenueto · 17/02/2018 15:00

BakerBear · 17/02/2018 15:10

Lettuce

Still not getting it, sorry, but I guess we should all be grateful for your pearls of wisdom!

Can you spell it out for me a bit more clearly?

A580Hojas · 17/02/2018 20:41

As a woman of 5'3" myself I would expect to be a 10 at 9 stone, 12 at 10 stone, 14 at 11 stone, 16 at 12 stone, 18 at 13 stone, 20 at 14 stone etc.

You're not splitting the atom.

user1486076969 · 17/02/2018 20:46

I'm confused! I'm currently at my heaviest, 13 stone and 5ft 8, I have to buy size 16-18. No way could I get into a size 16-18 if I was 16 stone?

CountFosco · 17/02/2018 20:46

At a height of 5'2" 16 stones would be double a healthy weight for me so morbidly obese. If I was 6'8" I would (just) be a healthy weight.

Piss off.......does that spell it out for you??

blackcoffeeredwine · 17/02/2018 21:03

hojas by that logic, why are you having a go at the nine stone poster and not the 14 or 17 stone posters?

Birdsgottafly · 17/02/2018 21:31

5' 2', 16 stone and size 18 in the likes of Asda.

greendale17 · 17/02/2018 21:33

Size 20/22

user1471426611 · 17/02/2018 21:35

At my largest I was 15 st 10 at 5'4" and I was a tight 16 top and 18 bottom.

Bayleaf25 · 17/02/2018 22:13

Size 20 (16 stone and 5ft 3)
