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

Oh OP the same thing happens to me! I’m an 8 but I always look bigger in photos! I just don’t think I’m photogenic and I never know what to do with myself so I don’t know how to sit/stand or pose correctly which doesn’t help!

DuchessOfSausage · 01/06/2023 16:42

@PosseGalore , plump is another word for fat, unless applied to a piece of ripe fruit

SirChenjins · 01/06/2023 16:43

I came on to say 10-12 - that could have been a photo of me. Love the dress 😊

Kimchikeffir · 01/06/2023 16:43

20

Larner · 01/06/2023 16:43

You've got a nice big face. Bit yellow.

Hope it all works out ok for you anyway OP.

Kimchikeffir · 01/06/2023 16:44

Sorry OP it’s lovely colours but make you look v buxom

Mananarama · 01/06/2023 16:45

I’m a 12 (heading towards a 10) but look hefty on sitting down pictures. The only full length mirror in the house is very kind, so I hate how big I look when seated. I think my stomach and middle just merge into my arse and thigh area, Jabba style.

You look great standing up though!!

Tootsietwo · 01/06/2023 15:48

No, not insulted at all. You know what's it like when you leave the house thinking you look one way and then see photos after and think bloody hell, that's not what the mirror told me!

Sorry I haven't got a full length one to show.

Happens to me all the time! Think "ooh that looks flattering" in the mirror, then see the Ring doorbell footage of me leaving the house and think "where the hell did that arse come from??"

It's a fab dress OP and you look lovely in it!

JamSandle · 01/06/2023 16:45

14-16

marshmallowsforbreakfast · 01/06/2023 16:45

16/18

brainexplorer · 01/06/2023 16:46

You look completely different in the standing pic. In the sitting one, the dress is bunched behind you and I thought it was your bum/hips. It's a lovely dress and looks beautiful on you in the second pic. To be fair, you don't look bad at all in the first one, just a really different body shape. I would have assumed a different person wearing the dress honestly!

Skinnermarink · 01/06/2023 16:46

The standing picture looks totally different. It looks great. Anyone who thinks you look a 16/18 when you’re stood up can get to fuck.

MadKittenWoman · 01/06/2023 16:49

16

BHRK · 01/06/2023 16:50

Definitely a size 10 in the second pic. I’m a size 10 and looks massive Sat down in some of my dresses!

TakeMeDancingNakedInTheRain · 01/06/2023 16:50

Maybe post a pic where you aren't sat down hiding behind a table??

Dentistlakes · 01/06/2023 16:50

I would say a 12 from the second photo.

L0bstersLass · 01/06/2023 16:51

PosseGalore · 01/06/2023 16:41

So "plump" isn't healthy and proportioned?

No. Plump is a euphamism for calling someone fat.

TakeMeDancingNakedInTheRain · 01/06/2023 16:51

From the standing up pic 14/16

Skinnermarink · 01/06/2023 16:53

TakeMeDancingNakedInTheRain · 01/06/2023 16:50

She has.

MadKittenWoman · 01/06/2023 16:53

10-12 in standing one. It’s the sleeves and the empire line making you look bigger when you sit down.

Tootsietwo · 01/06/2023 16:53

TheShellBeach · 01/06/2023 16:38

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

How am I being ridiculous when I've had multiple post saying I looked like a size 16 up to a 20?

The dress does nothing for you.

Wrong thread!

DamnAndDashIt · 01/06/2023 16:57

I think you are similar to me- high waisted.

I'm stupidly high waisted and any dress or top with a lot of fabric (sleeves, extra material around the bust) in that top area makes me look twice the size I am.
