I won't be offended, no ED or anything like that going on. I'm just wondering what size I look in this pic?

I've taken a full length one:

You definitely look a size 10/12 there, so think it was just the pic. I've had some absolute corkers in my time too! I'm sure we all have

GeriKellmansUpdo · 01/06/2023 16:20

14-16.

GeriKellmansUpdo · 01/06/2023 16:21

Apologies, you updated. In second pic you def look slimmer. I like the dress.

IncompleteSenten · 01/06/2023 16:22

Just goes to show how position in photos can make a difference!
Your first photo my guess would have been 16 or so but you are clearly smaller in the second photo

I do need to remind myself to sit up straight! I'm a bugger for slouching!

My mum took some pics of me on a day I felt really nice recently sat at a table in a restaurant and what looked back at me when I saw them was nothing short of the hunchback of Norte dame. I made her take some more where I was sat up straight and was relieved that I did look like what I’d seen in the mirror after all. Posture really does make such a difference 😂

MrsMoastyToasty · 01/06/2023 16:24

Were you wearing the same bra in the two photos?
Sometimes it isn't the dress, it's the underwear that is the problem. It may be as simple as adjusting bra straps which will make all the difference.

PosseGalore · 01/06/2023 16:32

Out of curiosity why do people post things like this? Is it so that we can say that they don't "look fat"? (which is a phrase that should be banned from the language, in any case). Is it to validate the OP in some way? I have responded to posts like this, but I don't really get it. Can someone please explain?

wheelywheelynice · 01/06/2023 16:35

16 - 18

Looks totally different when you're standing up. I think it's just a bad picture in the first photo, unflattering pose/angle.

This!

Pic to show posed and then everything flat to body which is what the dress does

You look exactly the same to me, just different angles. And in the flesh nobody but nobody is thinking she looks fat from this angle and thin from that angle. Nobody. Except the sick ones.

35965a · 01/06/2023 16:36

You look much smaller in the full length pic

IVFNewbie · 01/06/2023 16:36

10-14, depending upon the size of the fries (it's these I'm using for reference)

Comedycook · 01/06/2023 16:38

You're similar to me

Wow thanks for all the quick replies! Really interesting to read.

I'm a size 10 top and 12 bottom. Yes, dress from TU, size 10, gorgeous dress and I felt lovely in it but I was shocked to see how much bigger I looked in all the photos!

Don't be ridiculous.
Did you just post this to boast?

Trickedbyadoughnut · 01/06/2023 16:39

I think it's your face being a bit, ahem, round that has misled us ...😉

You look fabulous in the second photo, it was definitely just the sitting/fabric/camera angle!

Trees6 · 01/06/2023 16:39

You looked plump in the first photo but healthy and well-proportioned in the second. The camera lies sonetimes!

Pretty dress. It suits.

Comedycook · 01/06/2023 16:40

Oh just seen the standing up picture. You look much slimmer in that. I agree in the sitting down photo you look larger than you are. I think the dress is probably not that flattering to be honest.

So "plump" isn't healthy and proportioned?

travailtotravel · 01/06/2023 16:41

I lament we can't try things on in Sainbos anymore. I got this dress and put it on at home and it made me look mahoosive. To be fair, I am not a skinny minnie, but one can flatter oneself with clothing and choose not to wear things that don't do us any favours. Trouble is, I have since lost the receipt so have an unworn with tags dress that make me look huge. Oh well.
