What size do I look?

[CheeseSandwich1]

I’ve recently (finally) lost 4 stone after having a baby 18 months ago. I’m 5ft 7. What size do I look and any ideas for flattering outfits? I still have a really large chest and bigger thighs so help would be appreciated as I’m really struggling with what to wear.

I would say 14 I think, bear in mind some shops have different sizing. Congratulations on the weight loss that’s amazing 🕺🏾❤️

I’d say you look maybe a 16 on top and 12-14 on bottom? I think you have a lovely figure! It’s hard when you have big boobs as they make you look bigger generally.

Size gorgeous 💕🔥🔥🔥

You look lovely and you have a great figure. Maybe go to somewhere like John Lewis where they will be able to show you outfits and what will suit you? Ignore label sizes as they aren’t genuine.

You look fabulous! I’m so jealous of your wabs. I’ve just booked a personal styling session with John Lewis this minute as I’m hopeless, and I read it on another thread on here! It’s free with no obligation to buy.

congratulations on your weight loss . Youve got a beautiful shape. Embrace it. Ignore size labels as they’re all so different and just but what fits.

Size 12, I’d say. You look great!

You look like a 16 top, 14 bottom.
I agree with ignoring size labels. There's no UK standard, so one store's 12 is another store's 16.

18 top 16 bottom.

Whatever size FABULOUS is because that’s what size you look!

Size 12 on everything except the boobs! You ain't hiding that lovely pair, you might as well show them off. Anything that accentuates your curves and has a waist will suit you- scoop neck tops, wrap dresses etc.

16 top 14 bottom, just measure yourself. Sizes vary so much in shops. I would like standard measurements like men have on their clothes.

You look fabulous, what an amazing figure.

Size 16?

Whatever size it is, that’s amazing that you’ve lost 4 stone, really well done.

Thank you! I’ll try this too. I struggle as I’m getting into a size 12 bottom everywhere but top it could be anywhere from a size 12-16 (sometimes a 16 wont even go over the boobs!) on top because of my bust which then makes dress shopping especially really hard!

Thanks everyone for your comments!

I started as a 16-18 4 stone ago! Now I’m in 12 bottoms but I’m still sometimes needing a 16-18 top which is heartbreaking 🥲 I think my boobs must be making me look huge still!

Good bras are a must, as they point everything up and out rather than letting it all flop in the direction of your midriff, giving the impression of bulk (based on personal experience here!)

I’m a K cup so bras are difficult. I always go to Bravissimo for fittings.

You will be in bigger tops because of your boobs OP. I’m exactly the same. It is demoralising when you know you’re not a 16-18 but you have to buy that size because of your boobs & then it’s ill fitting everywhere else! But you have a lovely figure, hourglass shape which I’m jealous off because I’m an Apple 🤣

Needing a 16-18 top shouldn't be heartbreaking - you've just got big boobs, that all! You look great.

I think it’s just because I’ve lost a lot of weight and I thought the boobs would go down too and I’m still sometimes in the same size top as before my weight loss. I need to buy more ‘flattering’ tops.

You look lovely, hourglass with a defined waist.
I have big boobs and steer clear of anything too high necked or clingy. V necks are flattering and tops that "skim" then fall around hip level. Good bra, as PP say.
Enjoy shopping for new clothes!

You have a fabulous figure. 12 bottom, 12 top except for the boobs.

Any top examples would be very much appreciated as I’m at a complete loss what to buy and would like to next day delivery a couple of bits for the good weather next week!

Although I agree OP has a lovely figure and just needs to dress to flatter her bust, it is a bit daft to say 12 on top apart from the boobs. The boobs are what determines the size of the top half.
