What clothes size would you expect this person to wear?

Inspired by my mini Sainsbury’s TU clothing rant (size too big)- what UK clothes size (May differ ‘vanity sizing’ shops and ‘teenage’ shop) would you expect this person to wear?

5ft5 8 stone 5lbs

I know it’s a ‘guessing game’ doesn’t account for where weight stored etc. But I’d be interested in getting a general idea of what people thought

Size 8

Size 8

8-10

Of course being particularly generously endowed in one area could make a difference.

whatswithtodaytoday · 03/06/2020 07:29

Size 8, I guess? Maybe a size 6 if the fit is generous.

dammit88 · 03/06/2020 07:29

6-8

Rollerbird · 03/06/2020 07:30

Size 6 (I am 5ft5 and 9 stone 4 and an 8)

metalkprettyoneday · 03/06/2020 07:30

Maybe 8-10

KatherineJaneway · 03/06/2020 07:30

8 or 10 depending on the person's shape.

ArriettyJones · 03/06/2020 07:31

10

Size 6. But as above depends where the weight is sitting. Although at 5ft 5 and less than 8 and a half stone I'd say this person is quite slim and doesn't have weight "sitting"

homemadecommunistrussia · 03/06/2020 07:34

6 or an 8 depending. I am cheating as this matches my dd.
Saying that you never know with sizes, she has some jeans shorts that are a 12. A skirt xs. Most things an 8 or a small, but is 18 so mostly likes things big.

Gingercatlover · 03/06/2020 07:34

6

Wannabangbang · 03/06/2020 07:34

I would say a size 6 to 8

worldsworststepfordwife · 03/06/2020 07:37

8 or occasional vanity sized 6

IkaBaar · 03/06/2020 07:38

10

Mummiepig · 03/06/2020 07:38

6/8

Pumpertrumper · 03/06/2020 07:40

I’d guess a small size 8

I’m 5’9, 10st 9lbs and wear a pretty comfortable size 10

BlessedBeTheFruitCake · 03/06/2020 07:40

When I weighed that much I was a size 6/8. Those were the daysSad

feelingverylazytoday · 03/06/2020 07:41

6-8. That is very slim.
