This may have been done before, i was just wondering what sizes and weights you have been? I know that two people weighing the same may be completely different dress sizes.

I am 247 lbs and size 22/24 right now

    Previously: 145lbs, 8-10dress
    Now: 195lbs, 12-14dress
  • I am 5'4" 187 and I wear either a 12 or 14 depending on the brand. Most of my 14s are starting to get really baggy on me though! :)
  • I am 188lbs right now and wear about a size 18. I haven't bought any new clothes except for stretchy, sweat pant type clothes in so long that I am not even sure.

    Oh, and I am 4'11.5" tall!:bigsmile:
  • At my heaviest (not including being 9 months pregnant) I was 164lbs and in a size 10/11 now at 142 I am in a 4 depending on the brand. My 6's are too big. I have 7 more lbs to go and by then I should be in a 4 with some room and some 2's. I'm only 5'3" but everyone carries their weight differently.

    Since dresses fit waists generally and not hips...I'm one of those odd people.......

    At 180, I'm in a size 8. Yes, a size 8. Maybe a 10 if it isn't A-Line
    At 145 (my lowest) I was in a 4 - maybe a 6 if it wasn't A-Line.

    Pants at 180, I'm solidly in a size 10
    at 145 - I'm in a size 8 verging on size 6

    I'm 170 in a size 10. I've been working out with weights for over a year so I have heavy muscle. I'm not bulky just solid.
  • I am 6 ft 223 and a size 14/16 depending on the brand

    5'5" - 150 - Sz 6/8
  • It depends on your height and how you carry your weight as well. I am 169 and a dress size 12, though they are loose now... But I am also 5'9" and have an X shape...

    Right now I'm at 270 and I'm in between a 22/24. 22's are a little tight, 24's are a little baggy. I'm 5'6 btw :)

    Exactly! I was still wearing my 4's at my high weight of 140 (I'm 5'3" also) and had way too much muffin top to be comfortable.

    Im 5'2 and 129 lbs, i think i fit into a 7 or 5 in dresses, depending on the brand.
    Same with pants.

    at my heaviest i was 155-160 and wore a 9, but i SHOULD HAVE been an 11. I was stubborn. LOL

    This is interesting!!! I am 250 right now... and am wearing a size 16 dress on Saturday to an event. (Granted, it's a stretchy size 16, but I bought it in the regular dress section at JCPenney!) If it were a non-stretchy dress, I would be in an 18/20.

    im 5ft 6 and 120lb and a UK size 10, which i think is a US 6?

    I always notice that people of my weight usually take a smaller size than me for some reason. I dont think i carry weight well.

    At my heaviest I was 260 lbs and wore a 22/24 (22s were VERY, PAINFULLY tight) now I weigh 210 and am a 20/22. 50 lbs and only one size down. It's so discouraging! I see others weigh in at 220 or 230 and wear a 16/18. UGH :grumble:
