Do you think you're slim/average/big?

Where do you buy your clothes?

10 - 12 depending on where it's from but I see myself as large (I realise I probably have some sort of dysmorphia)

I'm 5ft 6.5 and weigh 10st 7 trying lose 7lbs I gained last month -over Christmas--. I'm a typical pear with slim waist, big hips & bum with small boobs. I'm mainly a M size 10 top 12 bottom 32 leg but these are a bit snug at the moment so need to lose those few extra lbs. I'm doing a couple of big sporting events this summer so will aim to drop another half stone down to 9st 7 (mainly vanity reasons as I'll be spending lots of time in Lycra Shock)

I'm a robust 12 on the bottom and an occasional 10 on top. This time last year I was an 18/20. I'm 5' 8".

I would say I feel average compared to most women on the street, perhaps on the slimmer end of average but not by much. Compared to my past size, this is the thinnest I've ever been as an adult so it's a big deal to me. I will probably lose a bit more to settle fully into size 10 but I'm not going to stress if my body doesn't want to lose more weight.

I am only just on the cusp of a normal bmi, funnily enough.

I shop at charity shops mostly, but my best jeans are from Next. At some point I plan to revamp my wardrobe but never seem to find the time and the money.

I'm 5ft 6.5 and size 18 ..hourglass endomorth with a really big bust and enormous bottom my ankles and waist are ok though ! I shop at next tall range, primark, h and m, hobbs, warehouse, white stuff, outlet stores and ASOS. The other day bought a scoop neck top from primarni and was great length and sleeves long! I don't wear formal trousers a lot due to.weird shape but M and S jeggings for casual wear do different leg lengths!

I'm also a size 18 cor and garlic :) I would love to make my own clothes, if I was any good with a sewing machine! Made a few things in my teens but not to a high standard! Smile

Smelly - also got some scoop neck tops from primark - they are wearing pretty well and a good fit.

I used to shop lots in M&S but it's hard to find anything in there now.
