What size are you if you’re 5’8” and 10 and a half stone?

[Fearlesssloth]

Posting here for traffic. If you’re 5’8” and around 10st 8lbs what size are you? And what’s your BMI? My bmi is 22 and I’m between a 10 and a 12 but I think I must have a large frame or something cos I thought I’d be an 8-10 at this weight/this bmi

I'm 5'5 and 9.5 stone and I'm a size 8 so yours sounds about right

I agree, it is bollocks.

I am you - a rectangle and 5ft 8. I weigh 9st1 and am a size 8-10 (shop dependent). My BMI hasn't changed since I was 21, other than pregnancies, but my fat has redistributed from sub-cutaneous to around the middle (I am approx 50). To keep a flattish belly, I have made my peace with looking a bit gaunt. But I am now weight training as well as running to keep strength, but also definition.

I’m also 5’8” and I weight just under 10 stone. I’m a size 10 on bottoms but usually a size 12 on top due to larger boobs. No way would I fit into a size 8. I would say a size 10/12 is right for your height and weight.

I'm 5'10.5" and hover around 10 and a half stone. I'm a 10-12, depending on brand, sometimes an 8. I'm quite athletic build with quite broad shoulders and big boobs.

Brand sizes are all over the place.

My BMI is 21.5 and I’m never 8, usually a 10.

Size 12. I have a straight shaoe body, no hips or boobs and I'm an apple shape, so every pound is on my belly, never my legs or face

I'm a size 12 anywhere between 9 - 11 stone, based on buying from Zara and H&M.

The sizes on me drop rapidly below 9 stone.

I was once, very brielfy, 8 stone and a size 6 from New Look fell off me (due to an unrelated illness).

My body likes being 9.5 stone.

I think it sounds right. My BMI is 20 and I’m a size 8 to 10.

I’m 5 ft 3, just under 12 stone and I’m a 16.

When I was 10 1/2 stone at that height I was about a smallish 12. The skinniest I've ever been. I'm now 12st and size 14

To clarify, I'm 5'8, 9st 3 and BMI is 19.6

I'm 5'7 and 9st 12lb and I'm a size 10 on the bottom and 12 on top (32HH chest)

When I was 10.7 stone and 5”7 I was a size 8-10

however I was also doing a lot of exercise and weight lifting so I think it will depend on your body composition

I’m 5’8 but 12 stone. Size 14

I'm an inch taller and a stone lighter, and my BMI is 19.9.

You can easily figure out your BMI on the NHS calculator.

Sizing is absolute nonsense. I'm a 6 in Primark and a 12 in H&M.

I do and I am? Not an 8 but definitely a 10. Very rarely a 12.

I’m 5’7” and 10st5lbs. I wear a size 12 comfortably.

5/7 and 10.4-10.7 and size 12/10 depending on fit. Many dresses /tops are a 10 but trousers /skirts a 12 due to child bearing hips

I’m 5ft 8’’ and 9 and a half stone, and I’m a size 8. At 10 and a half stone I’m a small 12. But that’s because I have a rather large arse

slightly taller and 8 st 8 I am a size 8. My BMI is not good as it is too low and have been trying to put a bit of weight on. I def am too skinny. Keep the size 8 for the shorter ladies

5’7”, 10st 4lbs, BMI 22 and 10-12 depending on the brand

Size 10 or 12

I'm just under 5’10, 61kg (9 st 10 I think?) size 8 or an XS usually, if it’s long enough. BMI 19. I was around 67 kg for a long time and was more a 10. I do a lot of exercise so am lean with it which probably means smaller clothes sizes, plus a slight build.

I'm 5'8" and weigh 12.5 stone. All my clothes are size 12. I'd definitely be a size 10 at 10.5 stone (not that I'll probably ever stop eating biscuits for long enough to find out though!)

Im 5ft 9.5 and weigh 9 1/2 stone. BMI 20ish. Im size 10 in pretty much everything (occasionally 8 on top but never on bottom!). I’d say Im medium framed. I think you need to be very slight framed to be an 8 if tall.

I'm 5'8" and about 10 stone. I'm a standard 12 in most shops. In cheaper makes I might be a 14. Long Tall Sally, 10. I get more boggled with small and medium sizes tbh. And the sleeves are never long enough in anything apart from LTS.
