I have bought a dress in a size 14. I'm currently a size 16 and 191 pounds. I'm curious at what weight were you able to get comfortable into a size 14? I haven't tried it yet, but want to be able to were it in just over a month if possible. Any thoughts?

    I am 5'6 185 and fit in size 14 pants. My bust size is not a size 14 though so I am not sure when I would fit in a size 14 dress.

    Hard to say. I'm 5'7, well i used to be. Maybe I'm 5'6 now. I weight 165 and wear a 16 in most things. I have some 14 pants that I'm going to try on tomorrow. Here's hoping they fit!.

    I wore a 14 at about 180. But I carry most of my weight in my hips and thighs. You're going to see a lot of variation on this one.

    It totally depends on your body shape. I was in the mid/upper 170's when I fit in to a 14 comfortably. I was about 180 when I bought the dress and it was a bit snug.

    I'm 5'6" My biggest weight was 215 I was size 20. When I was around 180 I was size 16, now at 158 I'm size 8. I'm a pear shape.

    Assuming uk sizes. When I was about 72kg (approx 159 pounds) I was comfortably wearing size 14 in dress/ trousers. Now comfortably into size 12 ( again uk size) at 69 kg.

    I'm 5'7" and fit in a size 14 at 185lbs, we all carry our weight differently so like others have said, you will see different answers from everyone.

    I am a touch over 5'8", and fit a size 14 at 210 lbs. Every body is different

    I am 5'7" and pear shaped. I started MFP at 175 lbs and a size 14 (US). Once in the 160s I was a 12, 150s a 10 and now at my goal weight of 145 I am an 8.

    I'm 5'7" give or take, and weigh 229-I am fitting in a 16 pant right now. I don't wear dresses, but I think with my bust I may still need an 18 or 20 in the top part! :)
