If you're 5ft 3ish and weigh 9st 7 - 10 stone.

What dress size are you?

Thanks.

I am aiming for 9stone 7 and will expect to be a 12 in some of the more generous shops (like M&S and Next) 14 in Top Shop. I am a comfortable size 14 at 10 and a half stone.

Back in the days when i wasn't constantly preg, i was 5'4" and roughly that weight and a size 12.

Why do you ask?

I am that height and weight and am a 10 in most things, 8 in some, 12 in a few bits.

I'm on a diet at the mo and my aim is 9st 7.

Ive been looking at dresses for a xmas party.

Was wondering what dress size i could be

I'm 5"3 and 10 stone and an uncomfortable size 12.

When I am 9 and a half stone I'm a more comfortable size 12.

To get into a 10 ( a real size 10 not a next size 10) I need to be under 9 stone... this is what I am aiming for by Christmas!

Good luck!

Depends on your boobs

I'm 9stone 7, 5ft4 but need size 14 tops and 12 bottoms

Well my boobs are huge but i'm hoping they will shrink abit too.

HI

I am 5ft 3 and weigh 9 stone 8 at the moment-would like to be 9st 4 but am tackling it at the moment.......however I have a nightmare with dresses as I have very slim legs and bum but a large chest-my top half is a 12/14 but my bottom half is a ten.No chance with dresses in general...sorry

Depends on your body shape. i am 5'3" and weight 8st and am size 10. I imagine that if i weighed another 2 stone I'd be more like a 16 and if 9st 7 then a 14.

I'm 5'4" and was 9st 2lbs this morning.

I'm a very definite hourglass shape and need a size 12 to comfortably fit my boobs and hips. I normally find trousers and dresses in a size 12 gape on the waist but a 10 is often too small across the hips.

Wish I could lose another 5lbs but only from hips and boobs.

I'm 5'3" and 10 stone; I'm a size 12 everywhere, except Next Petite range, I'm a 14 in that.

I'm 5ft and at that weight I would be a size 12.

It's been a while since I was that weight

I am 5'3" and 9st 7lb. Can be anything from an 8 to a 12. Generally choose a 10.

I am 5'3" and weigh just under 7st7

I am an 8 on top or xs and for trousers and skirts depends on make half are 8 and half or 10

Depends maybe on body shape and bone structure too, I was few lbs lighter when I was in early 20s and was size 6 or 8 so I think your body shape changes as you get older

Also depends if your weight is muscle and well toned, you can lose inches without losing a huge amount of weight.

I am that weight but 4 inches taller

Somehow I am a 12 whilst shorter posters are 8 or 10

How does this work

I do not have a spectacularly large arse and am fairly in proportion

In some shops I am even a 14

?????

Which shops do you want to shop in?

I'm 5'4 and when I'm 10st I'm a 14 in Karen Millen/Coast/Topshop but a 10 in East and Jigsaw.

I was a size 10-12 at this weight. I have very large and heavy thighs so maybe my top was smaller than most at this weight? Certainly my "normal" size 12 stuff was far too big.

10 or 12

I'm 5'3 and 10 stone.
I am a 10 or a 12. Mostly a 10 , only a 12 in more fitted things tbh

I am 5'3" and whilst I have no idea what I weigh I am guessing it is around 46/47 kg as that seems to be my natural weight. I am a size 8, used to be able to wear a 6 but ribs and hips have got wider since having kids.

Im that height and 9st 4lb. Im a size 10. I do have fair size boobs and bum though, and every thing else is tiny, so fit into a 10 comfortable. I think its probably to do with your general shape.

I am amazed at those of you who say you are 10 st and get into a 10!

I am 50 kgs ( just under 8 st) which is the heaviest I have ever been- used ot be 7st 7lbs. if I put on 2 stone I'd need a 14 or above.

Maybe it is all weight distribution? I am 32C bust, 29 waist and 35 hips. If my waist was any bigger I'd need a 12.

I've got slim legs and butt.

Me too...when i was 10 stone i was definitely a 14.

I think it depends on where you shop, weight distribution and muscle:fat ratio.

Just goes to show that weight isn't a great indicator of how you look (would still love to be half a stone lighter though)

Chibi, it is vanity sizing. Certain retailers will have generous fits (M&S, Monsoon, Gap) others won't (Zara, Mango, Topshop) I even once heard it being advertised on QVC, when they claimed: 'Well, in some shops you may be a L or an XL, but here at QVC you have a pleasure of ordering a size S or M and enjoying a wonderful fit' . Or something along those lines.

I think LittleRedDragon's response illustrates this practice quite nicely.
