I know everyone is different but if you are 5ft 6 and weigh 14st 4lbs roughly what size would you think you would be.

MiddleAgedDread · 08/05/2026 17:04

really? I'm 5ft 6 and at just over 13 stone I wore a size 16 bottom / 14 top

Would you like to see my clothing labels?

Mirrorxxx · 08/05/2026 17:08

I’m 5’8 and 12 stone. Size 14. So maybe 16/18?

alexandrasm · 08/05/2026 17:00

Don’t be stupid! I’m 5 foot 3, 15 stone 9, and an 18!

I was a size 18 at 13 stone and I’m 5ft 5

are you sure size 18 fits?

CrouchHigh6 · 08/05/2026 17:10

Size 16-18. Why do you ask?

rockstarshoes · 08/05/2026 17:10

I was 5ft 6 15.01 stone size 18 creeping into a 20!

alexandrasm · 08/05/2026 17:07

It definitely is 😂 my 20s hang off me!

I get a size 20 in tops because I like easy fitting. 16-18 in trousers . Makes buying dresses difficult

Yes, I have room to spare

FourSeasonsTotalLandscaping · 08/05/2026 17:13

I’m 5ft 6 and currently 13st 12lb and broadly a 16. It very much depends on the specific cut and fabric of any given thing though - can fit into some 14s and not into some 16s!

EltonJohnsSunglasses · 08/05/2026 17:13

Too many variables to answer really - I'm 5ft 2 and weigh 11st and am a size 10, I do a lot of weightlifting, so body composition can affect it greatly.

Purplewarrior · 08/05/2026 17:14

18/20

Well the way it works is that she’s 5ft 3 and weighs 15st 9lb. Happy to help.

Forty85 · 08/05/2026 17:15

Size 16/18 I'd think.

JohnTheRevelator · 08/05/2026 17:16

TooOldToBeCool · 08/05/2026 16:57

20/22?

That sounds on the large side! I'm 13 stone 10 lbs,5 ft 6 in tall and I'm a size 16/18.

Nope, you’ve inappropriately edited your comment to make it look like you didn’t say anything bad.

I can't work out how to delete.

I have apologized.

anon2022anon · 08/05/2026 17:19

I am 5'6.5, and weighed 14 2, I was a size 14, creeping to a 16 on the bottom, but definitely a 14 in dresses etc. Pear shaped.

I've now lost some weight and a lot of people struggled to believe I was obese, or how much I weighed.

goingtotown · 08/05/2026 17:28

18/20 or XL

whattheysay · 08/05/2026 17:29

I would say 18

Divebar2021 · 08/05/2026 17:32

At 5’6” and 15 stone I was an 18. At 14 stone I was a 16.

TheGirlWhoLived · 08/05/2026 17:35

I’m 5”3 and 15st 3 and I’m a 16/18
