Curious to know as I haven't been a 16 since about the year 2000

I'm 5' 1" and 12 stone. Size 16-18.

Alwayswonderedwhy · 28/12/2024 22:50

I'm currently a size 14-16 at 5ft 2 and weigh 12st 😕

Teachymummy · 28/12/2024 22:52

I'm 5 foot exactly a size 20 and I weigh 14.6 stone.

Pre COVID I was a size 16 and around 11 stone.

FlatStanley50 · 28/12/2024 22:53

I’m 5’0.5 and was a 16 at 11 stone

Redshoeblueshoe · 28/12/2024 22:54

I'm 5'2" size 16 and I weigh 10 stone 10lbs

Imisschocolate17 · 28/12/2024 22:55

I'm a size 14-16 when around 13.5-14 stone, so much heavier than other posters! Just shows how much it varies even when short sorry!

Natural shape/figure can make quite a difference

SnowflakeSmasher86 · 28/12/2024 22:58

Depends a bit on which shop. But I’m 5’3” and at the moment a size 18/20. I weigh 16 stone.

When I was a size 16 I probably weighed about 14 stone, then 15 stone took me to a size 18.

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 28/12/2024 22:59

I can get into 14 - 16 at the moment. I'm just under 14st.

FeegleFrenzy · 28/12/2024 23:00

5ft 2”. 77kg Size 16 on bottom half, maybe a 14 on top.

saying that I like all my clothes being loose, so i probably can fit into size 14 trousers but just wear a 16.

Yep, I’m 5’1 and weigh 11st, and I’m a size 10-12. I obviously have heavy bones! I was a size 8-10 at 9st, so I imagine I’d need to be about 13st to be a size 16.

crumbsonmyface · 28/12/2024 23:09

I was a size 16 at 12'7 to 13'7 sort of range :)

PissedOffNeighbour22 · 28/12/2024 23:19

I'm 5ft 3 and I was around 13st at size 16.

DisplayPurposesOnly · 28/12/2024 23:20

I'm 5'2" and, having lost 3st, currently weigh 11st. Today I wore a size 14 skirt for the first time in at least 15 years (if not more). So size 16 for me was around 11.5-12st. When I was 14st, I was size 18, sometimes a 20.

WhatTheFudges · 28/12/2024 23:29

5ft and 13 stone took me to size 16. Currently 9 stone and only just fitting into a size 10. Normally 8.3 stone and that keeps me in a 10 comfortably with a bit of room. Never been below 8 stone in adulthood.

I'm 5' 2.5 and the same. Quite surprised people are still a 16 at 11 stone!

WhatTheFudges · 28/12/2024 23:33

It’s probably due to body shape, I’m a pear shape with large thighs and bum, yet have a skinny top half with hardly any boobs!

LeafHunter · 28/12/2024 23:40

Similar to others, 5’2 and 69kg (11stone I think?) size 12-14. I’d guess another two stone would make me closer to size 16.

Pumpkinforever · 28/12/2024 23:41

Size 18 at 13 stone 13lbs.

Reckon12.5 for size16.

Pepperama · 28/12/2024 23:41

My mum is that height and a size 16 - she’s trying to get to a size 14, but going from 12 stone to 11.5 hasn’t quite been enough for that. So a 16 is probably 11.5-12.5 stone

Ruthietuthie · 28/12/2024 23:41

About 12 1/2 stone for me (at 5' 3'').

Ginsmything · 28/12/2024 23:43

5’ 3 and currently just under 12 st size 14

Turmerictolly · 29/12/2024 00:29

In my experience about 12 stone at that height.

FlappingMadly · 29/12/2024 10:18

I'm 5,4, size 16 and weigh considerably more than 12 stone.

Bellyblueboy · 29/12/2024 10:44

I am 5’2 and I have recently lost two stone. I started at a size 16.

starting weight 12st 5 - size 16

Over 11 stone I was a size 14

I am now 10st 4 and fit easily into size 12.

BlunderMifflin · 29/12/2024 18:56

Really depends on where my clothes come from. I'm 5'2" and I weigh 13st 8lb and I'm a 16 in M&S clothes and an 18 in most others (but I like things to be a looser fit!)
