What size would you say I am? And could I wear this dress for work?

[Stargazingpolarbear]

I never feel my size matches up to my perception… weird. What size does this dress look like and also - as an aside - could I wear it for work?!

I was going to say size 6 or 8.

I don't think the dress works well on your colouring but would be suitable for some jobs, an office or something but not others, Bob woman, window cleaner.

You look lovely in it, don’t send it back.Regarding size I’d say 8-10. in our office we are all wearing our summer dresses .

It's a lovely dress but I wouldn't wear it to work.

i just bought this dress in another print for a summer wedding.

Size 12? 10? Hard to tell. Fine for an office I think.

Do you have a link for it please?

Size 8. lovely figure. Lovely dress but not one I‘d wear to work

I like it. Would be fine for a office job

I'd have said you were an 8 before you said your size. It looks a bit frilly for work, but depends on the style of your workplace I suppose.

You look like an 8, I have a similar figure to you. I do think the dress is too “off to the races” for work, I instantly thought of someone dressed up to go to Cheltenham!

Wear the dress, you look great in it!

This is body ishooos - you definitely don’t look bigger than a 10, 12 at a push. Before you told us, I’d have guessed 6/8.

the dress looks absolutely gorgeous on you. But I think it’s much more wedding guest or garden party than work.

I’d love the link

You don’t look 12-14. You look size 8 with a very slim midriff. Nothing to do with vanity sizing.

There are lots of beautiful woman size 12-14 or much bigger too by the way.

8-10. It's the kind of thing I'd wear to work in the summer. Bikini and shorts for me when it's hot- definitely not work wear!

You look like a size 8

No, I wouldn't wear that to an office job- looks more like a garden party or wedding guest dress

You are exceptionally slim OP and if you think you aren't- it might be best to talk to a therapist about this - Dress is lovely by the way- very pretty

So you're a 6-8 and you think you look 10-12? Really?

I'm not sure validation from mumsnetters is what you need, maybe some counselling if you really think you look 2 sizes bigger?

No idea where you work so can't say.
You also don't mention your height so hard to guess what size you are but anything from size 8-12?

I thought 8. I’m a 12 and have been an 8 and trust me, I don’t look like you in a dress! There’s no way on earth you ever look 12-14. Definitely not.

At 5' 5" looks like an 8. Dress looks a bit dressy for work. More like you are going out to a nice lunch.

FWIW in my head I am an 8-10 (even though I have a lot of post baby weight). You look a lot slimmer than me!!

8-10 and it would be too wedding guesty for my office but it’s very nice

It is a bit Cheltenham or Ascot! No way do you look a size 12-14. I am a size 12.

Hmmm maybe I will return it.
if I had a wedding / nice event I’d keep it maybe.
This is more my usual style!!
One extreme to the other…
