What dress size do you think I am?

[Pibbitypobity]

Am just being curious after a comment I recieved yesterday...

You look like a size 12

I was going to say 14-16. You look great with a lovely shape.

I'm shocked, I would of said 12.

I think this thread just shows how out of touch people are with how people are getting bigger. So someone who is a size 16 is now perceived by many on here as the much slimmer size 12. (Yes I know you are size 12/14 on top).

I'd have said 14 (and very jealous of your chest!)

I would say 12-14 as you look quite busty so you may need a 16 in some tops.

You have a great figure though so I wouldn’t get hung up on sizes!

I have one friend who is size 8 bottoms and size 16 top, due to her large bust.
And one friend who’s the opposite with size 8 on top and size 16 on the bottom as she has gorgeous hips and bum.

I agree @pylonpal. I was surprised that several were suggesting size 10 or even 8. A size 10 is very small and a size 8 is tiny. Don’t get me wrong, I think the OP looks great and healthy, but clearly not a size 8-10.

I would have said 16 top, 14 bottom, so completely wrong Well done on the weight loss OP.

Fabulous legs! Fabulous shape! Size/labels are so irrelevant - i have everything from 10 - 20 in my wardrobe due to style and big boobs and bum.

14/16

I'm very surprised. I would've said 12-14.

You look great OP.

I would have said size 12. Definitely not a 16, I mostly wear a 14 and I look bigger than you

14 bottom, 16 top, and very nicely proportioned!

14-16 would be my guess

16

14

I would have said 14. You’re a slimmer version of me and it’s my waist size that I could do with reducing. Hard after the menopause though. You look lovely.

The real issue is that women can't claim to be any particular size as clothes vary so much even within the same shops. I wouldn't be surprised at all that you need 16/18 in cheaper shops or European brands while at the same time can probably wear a 12 from somewhere like M&S or Next.

At 5'5", I want to guess 40-32-42.
Size 16 at M&S. So exactly average UK female adult?

You've got lovely slim legs and a curvy bust. Make the most of them.

Thanks I've still got another 28lbs to be at my goal weight. Aim to be there by Xmas.

@lljkk I'm surprised a 32" waist is a 16 at m&s?

I disagree, I'm a size 0 and would say op looked a size 12 (hip).

I think this thread just shows how out of touch people are with how people are getting bigger. So someone who is a size 16 is now perceived by many on here as the much slimmer size 12.

I disagree, it's hard to tell scale from a photo. It's the same reason why when people see celebs in real life most are smaller & slimmer than imagined.
