If you’re 5ft 6 or 7

[Shedcity]

What do you weigh and what dress size are you?

I know there’s lots of other factors but I’m
mainly asking because I’m trying to lose weight for my friends wedding and I’m just wondering what dress size I may be by then if I keep on track.
Also I’m just curious, it’s so interesting how everyone’s bodies can be so different!

I’ll go first! I’m 5ft 7 and I weigh 11.5stone I’m a size 14.
even at my thinnest (around 9.5-10st) I don’t seem to go lower than a size 12.

obviously size doesn’t actually matter, but I’m just interested!

5ft 6, about 10 stone - usually size 10 on bottom and 8 on top.

5'6"
I carry weight evenly over my body if I get fatter.

10.5 to 11.5 stone - size 14 (31" waist)
9.5 to 10.5 stone - size 12 (29" waist)
Under 9.5 stone - size 10 (27" waist)

I don't get smaller than a size 10. At 9 stone I'm really bony, and still size 10. Big rib cage?
I look best at 9.5 stone.

I’m 5ft 6, weigh 7st 7 and am a size 6. My daughter who is 5 ft 7.5 weighs 9 st 4 and is also a size 6. She steals all my nice clothes.

When I was in my 20s I got down to 8st 7lbs and was smaller than a size 8. More usually then I maintained 9 and a half stone for a few years and was a size 8-10.

Nowadays I'd be a size ten if I got down to 10 and a half stone. At 11 and a half I was a size 12. I've got muscly legs and arms and not loads on my middle but more than I used to have.

I was 11 and a half stone when I was 16 though. So I don't think now it would be realistic now to be less than that aged 46.

The heaviest I've been is 14 and a half stone in 2016.

I'm 5ft 6, weight 10 stone, size 10-12.

I'm 5' 6.5". 9 & 1/2 stone give or take a couple of lbs either way, size 10, occasionally an 8 if generously sized, on the bottom. 10 on top. 30 E/F (depending on cup type). I'm an 'inverted triangle' shape so broadest at my shoulders (not massively so), I don't really have hips to speak of.

I'm an eat to live rather than live to eat type for the most part, I enjoy cooking meals but don't tend to snack. I exercise daily & also have 5 dc, a dog & an active job so I'm on my feet for the majority of the day. Those things along with genetics are the reason I'm slim.

5'7' 8st 9lbs
Clothes size 8-10

5.7 and 9 stone 5. Size 12. 34c boobs.

I’m 5’7.5 and this morning weighed 9st 13.

size 12.

i am 5 foot 7 and weigh 11 stone 5. I am a comfortable 12 in most shops and a 10 on top in some. I work out a lot though which seems to have changed my body shape.

5'6 finishing school I was a size 8 but weighed about 11st 7lb. I played a lot of sport. Mid 20s drinking too much eating crap weighed 14st at my heaviest and size 16 (if not really 18!). I didn't actually think I was that big until I saw a pic

Now 30 yrs 12st 7lbs size 12, I found spinning changed the shape of my body for the better also cutting out most alcohol.

5ft 7, weigh 11st 7 now in my mid 40s, size 12, sometimes 14. Was 10 stone ish in my 30s, size 12. Was 8st 7 to 9 St 7 for most of my late teens and 20s, size 12 sometimes 10. Think I looked best at the lowest weight as face looks better with less weight, though its been a while so face might look like a deflated balloon if I lost weight. Body generally looks OK in clothes, less so without!

I'm 5"7, 10stone 12 and anything from a size 8 to 14 depending on where I shop!

H & M, Mango, Primark etc (ie cheaper shops) tend to run small, I suspect to scrimp on fabric? I couldn't fit into a pair of size 14 skinny jeans from Mango a couple of months ago.

I find Hush, M&S, FatFace etc run on the larger size - Im chuffed to have had to buy a size 8 In some flared jeans I just bought from FatFace and I also can fit into size 8 dresses in a lot of places depending on the style but I don't delude myself that im an 8 in reality - more a good 10-12.

Agreed. I'm top heavy - large boobs, wide shoulders, no hips carry most of my weight in my torso. Someone that is more hour glass or pear shaped and the same weight will look different in a dress than I will as the dress will hug them in places where it wont me and vice versa. And I know this cause i have a few friends that are about the same weight but shaped different and we look nothing alike in similar dresses.

I'm 5ft7 and 14 stone and a size 14

I'm 5 foot 6 and currently weigh 10 stone 2 but prefer to be 9 stone 7 ish. I normally buy clothes size 10 or 12 but am fairly flat chested so often can fit in a size 8 dress if it's not fitted.
Clothes sizes these days are pretty ridiculous. I used to be a 10/12 when I was much younger and slimmer.

I am 5"7, just under 11 stone and a size 12. I need to lose about a stone to feel happy and light, but am 50 and it is getting so very hard. I used to be about 6 to 7 stone in my twenties which was definitely underweight! But I ate far more back then. :(

I'm 5'7-8ish. About 12 stone. Size 14 jeans, 16 top. Im big framed and top heavy with GG chest, slim legs. I was 11 stone at my lowest and that was on a very low calorie diet and exercise, can't seem to get below that.

I’m 5”7 and at my biggest. I’m 19 stone.

In my defence I’ve just had two babies back to back😂 I also carry my weight in my thighs, hips and bum. I wear a size 16/18

I have gained weight and am 5'6, 12.5 stone and wear a 14. I am working to get back down tk 10st where I was a size 10-12. This is where I am most comfortable. Bizarrely , I am still a 32 bra (32 FF currently). Curse you antidepressants and your uneven weight gain distribution!

5 foot 6, weigh 8st 8lb and bra size is 28FF. I am small boned though.

I prefer to be 8st 2lb for my perfect weight but 4 children and a mum tum means that's not happening any time soon.

5’6.5”, weight 9st 9lbs, size 10.

I think I’m the heaviest here. 5’ 7” and 16 stone. I’m a size 18.
At 11.5st I’m a 12 - that’s what I’m aiming to get back to.

I find these threads amazing.

I'm 5'7.5 and if I say anywhere near 10 stone I'm a 12. I need to be 9 stone to be a 10. It's fascinating how we hold weight differently
