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 am about half an inch taller than that but when I was 8 stone I found it really hard to find any clothes that fit.

Usually I am between 8 and a half and 9 stones and typically wear whatever is the smallest size a shop makes. I have dresses labelled US0/2, UK6/8, S, XS, XXS, Italian 36/38, french 34.

8 or 6 with vanity sizing.

I’m 5,1, nine stone and a size 6/8. Reading these comments.... I think I must be a really densely weighted person.

I'm 5" 4 and 7st 10 currently which I think makes me an 8 but I haven't really bought any clothes for a while. I lost about 2.5 stone over the last year (was a size 14 at around 10.5 stone).

Angel2702 · 14/02/2021 17:50

I’m 5ft 5 and 8stone 9. At 8stone 2 -8stone 5 I’m a ten. Very much squeezed into it and not fitting comfortably at the moment.

@Foxyloxy1plus1

5’2, 7st 10, size 8/10 depending on brand.

Same here

georgarina · 14/02/2021 17:53

5'1 and 7.5 stone. Used to be an 8 but with vanity sizing 6/8.

cliffdiver · 14/02/2021 17:54

I'm 5ft 4.

No idea what I weigh, probably just under 8 stone.

I wear a size 6, but I have a small waist and trousers / jeans are usually too big.

Surlyburd · 14/02/2021 17:59

Im size 14, sometimes 16, im 11st 7. Gained weight this year

Surlyburd · 14/02/2021 17:59

Sorry, am 5 ft 4

Greenevalley · 14/02/2021 18:29

Surely it depends on age, muscle tone, whether or not you exercise and how your weight is distributed. Also what label clothes you wear.

I can be an 8, 10 or 12 all in the same week!

@Sinceyouwentaway if you want to know what lots of different people look like at a specific height and weight then mybodygallery is useful.

I'm 5' 4 and a half :) and 8 stone. Size 6 to 8 depending on shops. Mainly 6.

samandpoppysmummy · 15/02/2021 11:15

I'm 5'4". I'm usually 9 stone and a size 10, but currently 10 stone and a size 12.

turnthebiglightoff · 15/02/2021 11:19

I was a 6 at 8 stone. 5'3". I'm 10 stone now and a 10-12.

Luckyelephant1 · 15/02/2021 11:24

I'm 5'3 and when I weigh 8 stone I'm usually a 6, sometimes an 8.

At the moment I'm just over 8 and a half stone and also pregnant so I'm 8-10
