To ask what dress size you are

If you’re 5’4 and 8 stone. I’m currently that height and 9 stone a size 12. I’m currently losing weight and would like to be about 8 and a half stone.

I'm 5'4.

If I'm 9.5 stone I'm around a size 8. So if I was 8 stone I'd be around a 4? Which would look absolutely ridiculous on me.

Size 12 and 5ft 11, don't weigh myself anymore, too depressing

DazzlePaintedBattlePants · 14/02/2021 14:14

5ft4 and 9 stone, size 8 to 10. If I lost a stone, I’d easily be an 6 - 8.

PickAChew · 14/02/2021 14:18

I was an old size 10 at that weight. It was a looooong time ago.

lioncitygirl · 14/02/2021 14:22

5’6, 8 stone and size 4/6

The PP who mentioned the inconsistency of dress sizing has it spot on.
Are you all taking about a 12 in (for example) Topshop or a 12 in M&S? Dress sizes are not a very useful indicator.

I'm 5'9 and don't weigh myself any more, but based on the fit of my clothes, I'm about 9 stone. I take an 8, or a Small. I find it hard when the size is just small-medium-large, because I'm 5'9! I'm not small at all! I'm tall!

CorianderBee · 14/02/2021 16:24

I'm 5ft 4, 9st 3lb and an 8-10. Mostly 8 on top and 10 on bottom because I'm a pear with wideish bum.

CorianderBee · 14/02/2021 16:24

When I was 8st I was a size 6-8.

Sbowiegirl · 14/02/2021 16:26

I’m a lot fatter than you. Not sure what weight. I was wearing a size 12 pj top and size 20 bottoms last night.

JustAnotherBrick · 14/02/2021 16:31

I’m 5’5” and just a bit over 8 stone and a 6-8.
Don’t aspire to it, OP. I’ve had trouble with being underweight for years and my health isn’t good because of it. I’m too thin and the GP agrees.

Gigia · 14/02/2021 16:34

I'm 5ft 4, about 8 stone 4lbs and dress size 6-8, I do lift weights though and have a fair amount of muscle.

Winditbackagain · 14/02/2021 16:37

I am 5ft2 (and a half) and I am 8.5 stone, size 8-10 tops and bottoms.

5128gap · 14/02/2021 16:39

5'4 8 stone 10 and 6-8 in todays sizes. Would have been a ten years ago. It depends on body shape and waist size more than weight I think. Though they say 10lbs is a dress size.

99victoria · 14/02/2021 16:43

I'm about 10 and a half stone at 5' 4" and I'm a size 12. I was a size 8-10 and 10st around 10 years ago when I ran a gym. It depends on your build!

Penguinandduck · 14/02/2021 16:43

5’4”, 14 stone or just under, and a size 16. When I was 11.5 stone I was a size 12

supercee · 14/02/2021 16:46

I'm 5'3 and currently 10.3 the last time I weighed myself which is a lot for me. I'd say I'm a good 12 at the moment, around 9 stone I'm a big 10 and 8.5 a 8/small 10. I feel most comfortable at 8.5.

Hopeoverexperience · 14/02/2021 16:47

I’m 5ft 5 and around 7stone 10. I’m a size 8.

Octopus37 · 14/02/2021 16:47

5ft5 and 9st5 (also supposed to be trying to lose weight), size 12 bottom and size 10 top at this weight. At 8st size 8 top and size 10 bottom

Tisforptarmigan · 14/02/2021 16:48

I'm 5' 2" and weight 8 stone. I am a size 8 in most stores.

Metalhead · 14/02/2021 16:48

5’7 and 11.6 stone, usually size 14/16.

EnglishBreakfastTea · 14/02/2021 16:51

I'm 5'11, around 10st 5 at the moment which is a tight size 8 (depending on the shop)

autumncountryleaves · 14/02/2021 16:54

I'm 5 foot 8, between 11st 7 and 12st, and I'm a size 12!

FelicityBob · 14/02/2021 16:56

I don’t think people have actually read the question!
She’s asking what size people are if they are 5’4” and weigh 8 stone.
I’m 5’4 and when I was 8 stone I was a size 8 all over. Currently 9stone 2 and size 10, aiming for 8.5 stone like you

Diadora30 · 14/02/2021 17:03

I’m 5’4 and 8 stone, I’m a size 8.
