What size are you ....if you don't mind me asking

[Kimi]

Just wondered

I am a 16

5ft 5"

size 22

40F

shoe size 8

i already said i was an 8, but i am 5ft7 34b and size 7 feet

5ft 7"
size 12 for most tops, dresses and skirts, size 14 for all trousers and jeans.

This is because I have thunder thighs and little boobs - 38A.

Size 7 shoes.

Okay, this is ridiculous, but I have been dying to say this to someone (besides DH who completely doesn't get it). I very rarely have bought clothes in the last 10 years (too busy having babies). And what I did buy was from charity shops, so old sizing & styles. Most of my old stuff (and we're talking 8-15 years old) in the wardrobe was size 14 in jeans & tops. Outside of pregnancy I would have told you I was size 10-12 in jeans, size 12-14 in tops. But then recently I bought new clothes, for first time in a decade or more, from a variety of shops & the results were:

5'8"
size 14-16 in tops
size 8 in trousers.

Size ruddy 8? Is the average British woman so pear-shaped & I never noticed?! I just don't get it, something seriously weird has happened to British clothes sizes in last 10 years.

Yes the sizes now are a nonsense. I mentioned earler that before I had children i was a size 10. I was very slim.
Now I have 6 kids and am still slim but am a size 4,6 or 8.

I think it must be some kind of con to make women think they are really slim because they are say a size 12 when in old money they would have been an awful lot bigger.

Size 8

5ft 3

Size 5 feet

About 32D/DD need measuring again after stopping bf ds2.

I vaguely recall some kind of clothes resizing exercise (by the manufacturers), maybe 5 years ago. I thought that was just to do with offering the right range of clothes sizes, not that they would change all the numbers!!

But for someone like me to come out so distorted, you wouldn't think it to look at me. I just came home muttering and shaking my head at DH, saying "I am NOT a size 8", I don't care what they say.

I thought the average woman was a size 16 - doesn't seem like mumsnetters are average women - more than half seem to be a size 10 or smaller

I am 5'8", size 10-12, size 6 shoes

size 8-10

5'7

tiny tiny norks!

big feet though!

Oh well, what the feck. I'll be the first one to do it.

Down from a size 40 2 years ago.

Still falling.

Bet none of my fellow blimps will come and join me, will they?

String bean me, not blimp. 5ft 10, size 8 most often, but have been known to fit in a zero in US shops. 32AA, size 7 feet.

I look like I don't eat anything, but actually I eat quite well - I'm sure the whole metabolic predisposition thing is true.

12, lost a dress size a couple of months ago when H left and I barely ate (every cloud has a silver lining then!).

I'm 14 on top and 12 on the bottom

I have been cutting down over the last few months and have gone from size 14s being slightly too tight and am no in between 12 and 14, v frustrating trousers either hang off me or are too tight on the hips.

10. After ds1 I was 12/14 on bottom, but seem to have lost a lot of weight since ds2.

I'm 5'1" and have minuscule norkage, despite tandem feeding.

5ft 11
size 18/20
size 9/10 feet depending on the shop

18

5ft6
Size 12 bottom/14 top but had baby 16 weeks ago so aiming for less soon!
Size 6/7 feet

No idea shop size, they all seem to vary so much, can be anything from an 8 to a 12. Am in dressmaking mode at the moment and I know my measurements are 36-26-37, 5ft2 and size 6 feet. (yes I have feet like flippers).

5'3"
12 on the bottom, 10 on top
32E
Size five feet - AA fitting.

I'm a proper shorty pear, so trousers are a pain, but tops are a joy to buy.

6 or 8 and in a few designs apparantly I have a size 10 arse pity my top half is still a 6

10 boobs
8 bottoms
3 feet

But only one head

14 bottom, 16/18 top.

I have MASSIVE norks so if its a blouse type top (which has buttons) then i sometimes have to get a 20/22 so that they dont gape!

I'm a 12 bottom, 10 top.

But if I carry on eating chocolate like a fat pig then I will get bigger.

I'm hoping my wii fit will work a miracle for me.
