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

What dress size do you think I am?

So interesting that there are so many different perceptions of the same size, assuming that the majority are genuine answers. It’s also interesting that the vast majority are wrong, with most putting OP at a lower size than she’s said she is. Wonder what it means.

Perhaps 16 top, 14 bottom, but I am a terrible judge of size, age etc so ignore me if way off.

StottyCakeandJam · 31/07/2022 15:34

It doesn’t matter what the label says, you look great and dress well.

thegreylady · 31/07/2022 15:40

12 bottom 14 top

CottonSock · 31/07/2022 15:49

You carry more of your weight in the middle and have amazing legs. Many women carry weight in the middle. You look amazing and wear clothes that fit ignore the label.

Hallamus · 31/07/2022 15:49

14- 16 would be my guess.

CottonSock · 31/07/2022 15:49

Forgot to say I thought a 12, maybe a 14, but your legs are super slim

Mamapep · 31/07/2022 15:52

12

LoisLane66 · 31/07/2022 15:52

Dress size 12/14. Top 14 bottom 12. From that view only, we need full front view to be more accurate.

MissMyDad · 31/07/2022 15:53

14-16, but as you are busty I'd guess a 16 for dresses

LoisLane66 · 31/07/2022 15:54

I might add that I didn't read ANY of the other posts before making my comment above.

Moonshine5 · 31/07/2022 15:57

Depends on which retailer, could be 10-14

QueenImprov · 31/07/2022 15:58

Size 12.

Greenginghamdress · 31/07/2022 16:00

I would have said you look similar to me, 10. Quite suprised.

I've a different skirt on today, again a 16.

I can get 12s in tops. But I would never get in a 12 skirt! Possibly a 14 if it was large sizings.

I've got a draw full of size 12 things I am to get into

I would never have said that your bust was smaller than your hip size.
I am now 5-5 (age related 1" shrink 😂) and size 16 bottoms in Primark, M&S and most other stores. Top between 16-18 depending on cut of top. Oversized can wear 16 and still roomy. Wear 36F bra down from 38GG after cutting out sugar but still have some weight around my middle. Your middle looks good. I never wear totally tucked in tops only French tuck.
Don't take notice of anyone's remarks. We're all different and it depends on age, weight and height. You look fine and 🍀 with your continuing weight loss journey.

germsandcoffee · 31/07/2022 16:08

Size 14 and lovely legs 🤪

Maisa45 · 31/07/2022 16:16

12ish

twoandcooplease · 31/07/2022 16:16

I would have guessed 14

You look great op! Great figure

TowelChair · 31/07/2022 16:20

14, but maybe the stripes aren’t flattering

Lachimolala · 31/07/2022 16:29

I would’ve guessed a 12 I’m quite surprised you aren’t, your figure is lovely! I would like to look like you!

zingally · 31/07/2022 16:49

Impossible to tell from a side angle. 12 to 14?

TSIFT · 31/07/2022 16:54

16/18 in Dorothy Perkins type clothes

What are Dorothy Perkins type clothes? 😂

I guessed 14/16! I'm a 12 and your legs look skinnier than mine but bust and hips makes more of a difference to what you can actually fit in and I don't have much of either. 😂
