Any other female with a large frame?

I have 25ish lbs to lose still. The problem is that I have wide hips, wide waist, wide shoulders, you see the picture. For example, there isn't that much fat on my hips anymore compared to what used to be there (if I press, there's clearly less than an inch of fat on each side), and they're still so wide I can't wear my size XL nightgowns without my hips poking through on the sides. I have barely any fat left on my back and I still measure 34 inches up there.

It's depressing. I mean I know I'll never have a tiny waist but I'm frankly not sure I'll ever be able to wear a dress at this point, and I doubt I'll ever be able to fit in anything smaller than a size 6 (I'm in size 8 or 10 now depending on the brand).

Anyone else in the same boat?

The average American woman is a size 14. I have big hips, big wrists, big ankles, and I'm only 5'4", so I've always felt kinda stubby. But before I got fat and old, I was an hourglass. Be happy you're an 8 or 10-- that is well below the average size. Maybe you are suffering from body dysmorphia.
