What weight is a size 10 at 5'4"

I recently bought a dress in an American size 8 thinking it would fit a size 12 uk.
Sadly not.
I am in the high 10 stone mark after losing a stone and was pleased to be 12. So how much more to lose before being a size 10?
The measurements are 36,28,38 that I only found out afterwards. I am currently 37,32,38. Think it's doable and how long?
I have never ever been a size 10 and even playing competing sport I was 10 stone never in the 9's.

Yes, Ypsilanti, I never got to a size 10, even on the 3 days I made it to 8 stone!

I'm 5'3 and a size 10 at 10stone. 32GG which probably adds to the weight! But I've never weighed less than 9st 8lbs in the last 10 years, and still always been a 10

I am 5'3 and a half, and a size 10 at 9.5 stone.

As pp have said though, it depends on your body shape, what style you are buying, and (mainly) what shop you are buying from.

Thanks everyone.

I realise that label sizing and bodies are variable even if it says 10.
I did actually put in the exact measurements of me and the dress I want to fit into.

Maybe I worded it wrong. What weight are you if you can fit into a 36,28,38 dress please.

I am about 9st 2 a the moment (five pounds down yay) and 5ft5 tall. I need a size 12 in skirts and trousers, but can get away with a 10 in dresses and tops (unless they are very fitted). Measurements are 30E-29-28 For me if I had carried on gaining weight and got up to 10 stone, that would have probably made me a size 14. To get down to a size 10 properly think I will need to get down to just over 8 and a half stone. If I wanted to get down to a size 8 would need to be 8stone at the most, although would get in an 8 in vanity shops. If I wanted to be a 6 (think it would be impossible), I would have to get down to about 7st7 (haven't ever been that small so that is guesswork)

I need to be 9 - 9.5 stone to fit comfortably into size 10 trousers and tops. At that weight my bust is around a 30F.

Op, I just measured and I am 36 28 38, so the same as your dress. I weigh 61.5kg and am just under 5'4.

DD is 36-27-37. She says she's size 8 but I reckon she's size 10.
I am 38-28ish-38. I prefer size 14-16 for tops due to broad shoulders, but often size 10 for bottom.

I'm the same height and weight as you and am a 12. Before economic I was 9 stone 7 and a size 10. It's too hard to maintain now.

Can you sell the dress and buy again in a bigger size?

I’m 5’8” and wore mainly size 10s when I was a few lbs under 9 and a half stone. I still had to buy a good few size 12s too though - just depended on the shop / garment.

When I was 10 stone, I wore mainly 12s, plus the odd 14. My wedding dress was a 14 and I was 10 stone when I got married. It had been taken in a bit though. That said, I wore two size 10 dresses at my brother’s wedding, when I was 10 and a half stone .

I’m now 11 and a half stone (post dc2) and wear mainly 14s, but some 12s and 16s too.

I’m quite apple shaped fwiw. I think if I was a pear or hour glass, I might be able to wear an a line or kick flare dress in a smaller size, but I can’t have anything clinging round my tummy. I had a cesarian a few months ago, so that hasn’t helped!

I don’t know what my measurements are, but I normally wear 34FF bras and have a 32” waist.

I'm 5'5, 9 stone and a size 10. I would wear an 8 from stores that fit larger like the gap, M&S and next.
