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’d say 14

Tootsietwo · 01/06/2023 16:58

Thanks again for all the replies, some have given me a good chuckle. Been really interesting too.

A maxi dress can make you look much bigger, I'm a size 6/8 I can bet if I posted a pic of me in a bikini vs a pic in a maxi dress I'll get much larger guesses in a big floaty dress.

You do look much slimmer in the standing up one.

DollyParkin · 01/06/2023 17:01

14 to 16?

Intriguedbythis · 01/06/2023 17:09

16-18

Chickpea17 · 01/06/2023 17:10

16

I've taken a full length one:

I originally would have said 14 to (a small-ish) 16.

Now that I've seen the pic where you're standing? I probably would have said 10/12.

I think the wide sleeves combined with the hidden hips and waistline (when sitting down) make it really difficult to tell...

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!

I 100% agree with this.

Angelorre · 01/06/2023 17:14

To be fair, a Tu S/10 can be a Zara XL/16.

I’d say you looked size 18 in the first (it’s a voluminous dress and an unflattering pose) and a 12-14 in the second.

theblackradiator · 01/06/2023 17:15

hard to tell from that photo as you are sitting down but your arms look quite slim. I'm guess at 12-14. you need to post a different picture where we can see your body better

astarsheis · 01/06/2023 17:16

14-16

Daffodilsandtuplips · 01/06/2023 17:16

I was going to guess a size 12, your arms are quite slender and your chest around the collar bone area is too. Photos always add extra pounds. Sitting as you were in the photo makes it look like the dress is tight over your bust. Hiwever the second pic of you standing up shows it to be a little loose.

Peonyfun · 01/06/2023 17:16

The puffy arms when you’re sitting down makes it look like your arms are that big, and the slumped sitting, arms close to the body, and the excess material bunched on the top makes you look much bigger.

I thought a sixteen in the first photo, but the second it’s clear you’re a ten to 12.

theblackradiator · 01/06/2023 17:17

sorry didn't see your second photo, you look much slimmer in the 2 pic more like a size 10 I'd say.

lindyloo57 · 01/06/2023 17:18

I think its the print on the top part that makes you look bigger, I'm a 10/12 top and 10 bottom and never wear a large pattern on top as it always makes me look bigger especially if its a loose style.

GeriKellmansUpdo · 01/06/2023 17:19

I am a size 12 myself and was thinking of posting a bomber jacket that I can't decide whether to keep or send back. Standing up I look good, sitting down not so much because I have a belly. Guessing that's why OP posted.

toomanyleggings · 01/06/2023 17:19

It’s just a bad angle, bad posture and (hate to say it) a bad dress. It’s drowning you.

Peachmangolemon · 01/06/2023 17:21

Oh wow OP!

I'd have said an 18 from the first photo. You look a lovely 10 in the full length. I think it's a combo of puffy sleeves, sitting down, camera angle and the back of the dress is scrunched up behind your back, making it look like your middle is very large.

You look lovely in the 2nd pic 😍

I sympathise though. I often think I look lovely in the mirror then have an awful surprise when I see photos, and I'm a 10 too.

astarsheis · 01/06/2023 17:28

TBH that dress is not very flattering and looks like the print is way too big for you which intern makes you look much larger than you are.

RisingSunn · 01/06/2023 17:28

I would say 16.

pimplesquisher · 01/06/2023 17:33

16

BonnieBobbin · 01/06/2023 17:33

The dress looks lovely in the standing pic OP.
I'd have thought you were a 12 in the seated pic because your arms are thin Grin

EasterBreak · 01/06/2023 17:34

16-18 from that pic is my guess.

DeliciouslyDecadent · 01/06/2023 17:41

TBH the style and pattern swamp you. It's just all too much. A big pattern, floaty sleeves and a lot of material.
Sorry.
