Dress sizes

Does anyone know how much you need to lose to drop a dress size?

Trying to work out what size I might be in July if I carry on losing about 2lb a week.

Thanks.

well on average, a stone = a dress size

That depends on how big you were to start with I suppose.
I have just lost two stones, but have only dropped one dress size.

For me it's about a stone for each dress size.

A lot depends whether you've been squeezing into too tight clothes for a while though (in my experience) as you may find your current clothes fit more comfortably first.
