12

I would say 12-14.

Ignore Primark though there jeans are ridiculous - DD is 13 5ft2 and 90 pounds and the size 6 Primark jeans are a struggle to get round her ankles. The only reason we bought them is they were £3 (from £25). Presumably because no one fits them because no one can.

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

I was going to say the exact, same thing. I wear a 14 now and look bigger than you. I'm jealous of your legs. I've always wanted great legs. I get away with a 14 as I have a smallish waist (but peri-menopause tummy 😡).

CbaThinkingOfAUsername · 31/07/2022 12:15

Would be easier with a front on pic, people can look slimmer in certain poses. But I'd say a 14?

pushions · 31/07/2022 12:16

@BungleandGeorge where are you seeing that. Just checked their website & size 44 has just over 33" waist.

Designer clothes normally have the truest measurements.

polka6 · 31/07/2022 12:20

I am a size 8-10 and your legs genuinely look slimmer than mine, in fact 100% are. Sizes are weird!

EmeraldShamrock1 · 31/07/2022 12:22

10/12 with lovely legs, though the material might be bulkier on the skirt.

Great weight loss, amazing legs.

From the front I'd have said 20 bottom, 12/14 top to allow for the boobs!

great figure though!!

Congratulations on the 90lb!!!

enjoy being able to buy whatever you want to wear!!

20??? Bloody hell

Xenia · 31/07/2022 12:24

Sizes differ for clothes so hard to tell. 14 probably. That is average UK height at 5 foot 5. Have we been told the weight as that might help given it is such a typical UK height.

Bunce1 · 31/07/2022 12:24

20 put down the crack pipe love 🙄

EmeraldShamrock1 · 31/07/2022 12:24

Definitely ignore primark jeans - What happened to them 🤔 I haven't changed weight and cannot fit into my usual size in primark.
I'm not delusional their sizes shrunk.

BellePeppa · 31/07/2022 12:26

Depending on where you shop I’d say a 12 with maybe a 14 on top if the sizes aren’t consistent.

bringbackneighbours · 31/07/2022 12:27

You look like a size 14 to me? Dont understand how people are saying you're a size 12. Nice figure but a size 14-16.

DragonflyNights · 31/07/2022 12:29

Congratulations on your weight loss! Your first picture I was sure you were a 14 and your second and saying your sizes confused me as you seek smaller on the bottom - I’d not have said a 16 tbh.

StClare101 · 31/07/2022 12:31

14?

Decidualcast · 31/07/2022 12:34

I think you have an amazing figure!

SlashBeef · 31/07/2022 12:36

20?! 🤣 miaow

MeenzAmRhoi · 31/07/2022 12:37

Haven't read any updates but I'd say a size 12.

@BungleandGeorge where are you seeing that. Just checked their website & size 44 has just over 33" waist.

Designer clothes normally have the truest measurements.

It says a uk 16 is a size 42. Arket is 31.5 for a 16. Urban outfitters is 30 3/4 for 14-16 and 32 3/4 for 16-18.
it’s not only designer makes that are more traditionally sized, there are quite a few and quite a few cut more for the typical British shape of pear/ hourglass with proportionately smaller waist.

17caterpillars1mouse · 31/07/2022 12:40

I would guess a 12, but maybe 14 in some shopss

CambsAlways · 31/07/2022 12:44

Why so unpleasant? I was going to guess a 16 too. And OP has confirmed that's right.

LilacPoppy · 31/07/2022 12:55

14-16

PollyPurpose · 31/07/2022 12:56

I’m a size 8-10 and thought you were a 12.
you have great legs (and boobs!) and congrats on the weight loss!

Pibbitypobity · 31/07/2022 12:57

Summerslam · 31/07/2022 12:06

Why do you want people to hazard a guess? You could be anything from a 12 to a 16. Nice outfit, shame about the socks.

I was just trying on my new clothes. I wouldn't wear the socks out 😂
