    Hmmm...now I'm wondering if I'll EVER be able to wear this dress. My boobs are so freaking big I doubt they'll ever fit into a size 10. I'm a 38DDDish now and a size 16. LAME.




    This is the dress by the way. Size 10 from J. Crew

    It really depends on if you lose from your chest or not. If you keep all of your breast volume, that dress might not fit in a 10. It also depends on your rib cage. Many women lose quite a bit from there. (Personally I have lost 4 inches) so you might end up with the same size breasts on a smaller band, and switch to a size like 30I (smaller band, larger cup, same volume..but I am bad at those volume calculations)

    This cut is pretty hard if you are busty.
  • I guess it just depends on where you carry your weight the most. I'm pretty evenly distributed: I wear a 36D bra size, a size 12 pants are kinda big on me now and I'm probably actually closer to an 11. I'm 5'4" and 173 lbs right now. In a shirt I wear about a size L in Juniors sizes and a small-medium in Petite sizes.

    Hope this helps! :smile:

    Wow, I must need to exercise more! I am 5'3.5", have lost 18 #, weigh 157 and am not even close to fitting into a size 10! I was feeling good that I am into 14's until I read this thread. :cry:
  • I'm 5'4" and I think I was in the high 160's/low 170's when I first hit size 10. I'm still a size 10 in most, but I was able to get into an 8 recently and I'm 159 right now.

    5'4" and was a size 10 when I was around 175-180. I'm at 160 now and in 8's that are getting a little on the big side...
  • I was about 150 when I wore a size 10.

    I am 168lbs now and 5`3, I carry most of my weight on my hips/belly and thighs (aka.. everywhere haha) I am in a 11-12 US women's jeans now, I would think by 155-160 I would be around about a 10 :) (looking forward to that day!) Stupid denim and it's lack of stretch!

    As far as dresses, I don't have any that are sized with numbers, but I am around M-L, I guess thats around 10-12? But my dresses aren't fancy or tailored, just loose flowy summer type dresses

    ETA: I accidentally put my old weight! I wrote 178 and i'm now 168 haha wow brain fart much?

    I think I was around 180-190lbs. I am now 148lbs and a size 4. Everyone's body is different so it's hard to say what weight you will be when you will be a size 10! Good luck :)

    Don't let t bother you! Everyone is built differently and we are all unique! Noone has the exact same body shape or type no matter how many women refer to themselves as pear shaped, or hourglass shaped ect, it will be different for everyone :) I wish I weighed 157!!!!! haha

    Hmm. I'm 5'4", about 150 lbs. now. I wear a 12, but I believe I wore a 10 back when I was at about 145 lbs.

    Size 10 at 185. Right now at 173, size 10 is too big, but I am afraid to try on size 8. btw, I am about 5'6"

    I am 5'3. I started this journey at around 175 and was in a very tight 12. I am now at 147 and am finally able to wear a 10.

    I was 5'2 and 150 in a size 8.. If that helps any. It all depends on how you carry it. Like right now, I'm in a 14 and I'm 210.
  • I am 5'3, 167 pounds and wear a SIZE 12...STILL?!?! I wore a size 12 when I was 209 pounds, CRAZY!!!!

    If you are 5'3"-5'4" about how much did you weigh as a size 10? I have this dress...my inspiration dress that still has the tags on, and I'm wondering how far I have to go to get to wear it.
    It really depends on your bone size, what body type you are and the clothing manufacturer and how muscular you are.

    I wore 10's when I weight about 145 and I am 5'5"

    When I weighed 179 I wore a 16. Now, I weigh close to 140 and I wear an 8 or 10 but I also have a pair of 12's I can fit into but the legs are kind of big. When I weighed 102 I wore a 3-4,,,, so I think sizes have changed due to the obesity epidemic. If I get down to 102 again (I don't plan on it though), I'd wear a 0 or even less now.
    If I would have worn a size 10 at 179, I would have looked like a 20lb turd in a 10lb bag! (Mom used that phrase if she saw us wearing clothes that were TOO tight! lol ) I HATE it when people refuse to buy a bigger size and think they look OK in their old, smaller sized clothing. Yuck! Buy clothes that fit, regardless!
  • I'm 5'3 and I wore an 8 or 10 depending on the dress at 155 I think.

    I hear ya. I was kind of thinking the same thing, but then I realized that I'm much more concerned about what I see in the mirror, rather than the number on the scale or the tag in my jeans. And right now, 5'4", 150 lbs., I wear a 12. Although my goal is 130 (not sure what size to expect at that weight), I do like how I look right now -- which is "average". My goal is to be thin, but healthy (not sickly). So, I don't think all these numbers really matter in the end. They're just a guide for myself so I can see that I am making progress when I may not yet be able to see progress in the mirror. I will not use the numbers to make a comparison to anyone elses numbers. Makes me feel like some kind of freak. :huh:

    Hope this makes sense.

    I would agree... when I'm 170 I'm usually a 10 ; ) and I can't wait to get there!!! WooHOO!!! (and of course agree it does depend on your body shape, etc) ; )
  • I am 5'3, I weigh 147 pounds and wear a size 8-10. I don't carry weight in any particular spot and gain all over. 10s become too small around 155-160 pounds.

    I'm 5'3" and for me to get back into my size 10 jeans from Express, I'll need to weigh about 145 pounds. I don't wear any jeans that show muffin top spilling over. I see women doing that a lot... has to be very uncomfortable.

    ^^^^ This^^^^

    I am 149 pounds, 5'3.5" and a perfect 10 (lol).

    I'm jealous of you all. I'm 5' 2.5", 147 and in a size 12. Plus I'm pretty fit. I can fit in some 10's, but not many. Usually around 135 I wear a 10.

    I'm 5' 2.75" and I was in a size 10 when I was 160 and higher. But, remember that everyone is different. I was a size 6 to 8 (depending on designer) all the way up to 155. I refused to buy size 10's when I would have fit them and lived in forgiving clothes (sweats, lycra filled fabric clothing. leggings and pullover dresses) till I fit back in my 8's. I am now in a size 2 - 4 and fluctuate between 129-133 in any given week/month.

    Depends on ur shape. If u have wider hips then u might not b able as soon as someone w/ more narrow hips.
    Anyways, back when I was in high school & 5'4 I wore a size 10 dress & 8 in pants at 140 or so.
    I'm 5'4.75 now and was in a size 8 pants in the upper 140s when losing the weight. So I guess I was in a 10 when I was in the 150s? I'm not sure. I wore a lot of pants with stretchy waist bands, cuz I didn't wanna waste my money. So it all just depends. I was in a big 15 at 185lbs. I carry most of my weight in my belly, so nothin ever fits right in my hips cuz I have to watch out for muffin top.
