What size should I be

[Lara96]

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

So much depends on your shape/build. I'm 5ft 8 just under 10 stone and I'm a 12/14 depending on the clothing brand.

I was a size 16 at that weight and height.

16

I was a 16 at that weight

I’d say on average a size 18, are you trying to buy something online OP? If you tell us the shop we might be able to help you with sizing.

I am 5'5" and weigh about 62kg. Generally start trying on clothes at size 12 but I buy clothes from a 10 to a 16, depending on the fit and look I want.

I was an exact size 16 at that weight

It depend on your body shape.p, but Approx a 16. I’m 5ft 4 weigh slightly less at the moment. I’m a 16-18 in tops 12-14 trousers.

I’m 5”5, 13st13 and I am a size 14-16 depending on the item, fit and shop.
For example, I bought jogging bottoms and oversized t shirt in a size Small from Primark the other day and a size 14 t shirt, and size 16 jeans in M&S on the same day.

It completely depends on your shape, and fat/weight distribution too. I am small in shape and build, but have alot of excess body fat which makes me heavier.

Been there at that height 16/18

I'd easily be a size 10 at that weight and I'm the same height as you. Im wearing some 12s and im 12 stone

I'm 5ft 5/6 and fluctuate between 16 - 16.5 stone. I have a big belly, egg on legs as a Mumsnet poster described it once.
I wear a size 20 but can range 18 - 22 depending on cut.

It also depends on the randomness of M&S jeans - the exact same style and size can differ by several inches at the moment so a size 14 can fit in one colour and a size 16 be too small (completely flummoxed me when trying these in different colours recently)

I was almost exactly that weight and height at start of last year and wearing 16/18. Some were too tight. Body shape can make it vary a lot as we see from the answers but I think 18 is the best guess.

I have been losing weight and kept a track of when I generally went down a size - apple shaped and 5’5’’. I was a very tight 18/20 at almost 16st and a comfortable 18 at your weight.

size 16 - 13st 10lbs
size 14 - 12st 11 llbs
size 12 - 11st 7lbs

11stone 5ft 6, I'm 12 on the bottom and 16-18 on top (L or XL). I'll keel over from being top heavy, it's literally a pain! Very few dresses look right on me, so I avoid them!

16/18, possibly more if you’re flabby not muscly

This is interesting! I'm that height and 12stone4 and need a 16 - I probably sometimes really need an 18.

I’m a 16 at that height and weight

I can’t get into Zara jeans of any size unless I’m a size 8! And I haven’t been a size 8 for 6 years 🤣. I’m now a 10-12 and just there’s no point in engaging with Zara jeans of any size at all

This goes to show it depends on each person. I'm 5ft 2in and weigh 9st and I'm a 10/12, sometimes need a 14 top in Next or New Look. If I was 11st I'd be a 16. I'd say it doesn't matter on the size label, if it fits you and you look good in it then buy it.

Size 14? I'm 5'7 around 90 kg and a 16 but then I've always been smaller than .you weight dictates.

I'm the same weight as you, 5'2", and wear 6/8 in multiple shops but managed a 14 top at M&S outlet, couldn't even zip up size 8 jeans from there but 6 in Per Una! Who can say why!?

In US sizing?
I'm 5'4" and a size 10 at 9 stone 4. (and I'm quite muscular)

It very much depends. When I was just under 13 stone at the same height as the OP I was an 16 on the bottom and a 20 on top.
