weight and dress size - ladies

Visit mybodygallery.com, you can search by height, weight, size, and body shape to see pictures of other women at that size and determine which size you want to aim for. I found it very useful! Good luck

That is an excellent website to see what different people look like at various weights and heights.

UK sizes differ quite a bit from US sizes so it is difficult to compare the two. Also, due to differences in body frame size (bone structure), lean body mass, etc. two people of exactly the same height and weight can look quite different and wear different sizes.

I think you would be more like a 10 in dress size at that weight.

Hello,

This seems interesting and fun! Would be nice to see who is around my height and weight with similar sizes! :flowerforyou:

I'm 5'6 and 130 lbs and have a small frame...
narrow waist but wide hips, I can trim the fat but not the bone ...that's one thing exercise won't slim down

Jeans size: US 6 or 7
Dress size: around 4 or 5
Shirts or tops: usually small, sometimes medium
Skirts: medium

Anyone with a similar size?

it depends on the clothings - sizes are never consistent.
I am 5'2" currently 176 lbs. I wear a size 10 in most jeans. I have wide hips and a smaller waist.

I'm totally stunned by how different all these numbers are for different people! And it reminds me why I hate shopping for clothes. The size I wear depends on the brand I buy.

I'm currently about 127 and wear either a 4 or 6 bottoms, depending on the brand. In Gap or Talbots I wear a 4, but in Ralph Lauren I need a 6. If I go to L.L. Bean I need a 6 or an 8. I can also tell you that when I was around 122 lbs, I fit into a Banana Republic size 27, which is about a 2. However, at 127 lbs, I can also fit into a size 2 dress from Talbots, and size 2 pants from Ann Taylor. When I was less than 120 lbs (I was very sick), none of my size 2 pants fit me, they were too big!

Oh and don't even get me started on tops!! I can't buy a button up top for the life of me. They always gap! I could buy a bigger size, but then the shoulders don't fit, the sleeves cover my hands, and the mid-section is too big! And shirts are rarely of such good quality that tailoring makes sense.

So needless to say, depending on the day, I wear anything between a 2-6 on the bottom, and always a small size top (unless it's a button up, or a shrinkable material).

I highly doubt that was helpful. Sorry...

Congratulations on the weight loss and I hope you get to that goal size! I think it might be better to aim for a measurement rather than a size. Like if you're a 35" waist, aim for 30" or something. Sizes are so variable between brands that it's kind of like trying to hit a moving target.

5'4'', 122. US size 0-2, UK size 4-6. bottoms: small/extra small. top: small/medium (w00t boobs!) half way between and hourglass shape and top heavy.

This. I find that the more high end the designer the less they do what's called vanity sizing (i.e. you mentioned Ralph Lauren specifically as needing a bigger size). In my post I put I was pant size 8, but in most stores/most of my jeans the tag actually reads 6 due to vanity sizing.

I am currently 5'6'' and 160lbs (11st 6) . My bottoms are a UK size 14 and my top UK 12. My goal is to be back at 131 lbs (9st 5). At this weight i was a size 10-12 in tops and bottoms.

I think you would be more like a 10 in dress size at that weight.

Heavier weight doesn't have to mean a bigger size. If the weight is due to muscle, dress size will be smaller. I've lost 5lbs since Christmas, but 2 dress sizes.

I'm currently 70kg / 154lb / 11st.

Height 5'8.5 / 174cm.

I wear a UK 12 normally. Sometimes a 14, sometimes a 10, it depends on the shop.

My hips are 3ins larger than my chest, so I am very slightly pear shaped although a bit more gym should help that.

I'm 37-28-40 so theoretically larger than a 12, so there has definitely been 'size inflation' over the years... you can't trust labels!

5 feet 6 inches tall
Weight 134 pounds
Wearing size 4 and small, can occasionally fit in a XS depending on the brand.

When I was a teenager, I wore a size 6 as the smallest and was thiner than I am now. I am a testimony to that fact the sizes have changed over the years. I read an article somewhere that clothing manufactors changed the sizes to make us feel better about ourselves. Unfortunately, they can't change the image that looks back at us in the mirror. LOL

5'4", 181 lbs, hourglass. I wear a size 12-14 (US). I would like to get down to 160-165 and hopefully be a size 8/10.

5'10" 294lbs about a size 26 I'm in a weird in between phase right now

To the OP; Sizes are based on your measurements. Do you take your waist/hip/bust measurements, now? if not, take your measurements. In US sizes, every 2 inches lost is one dress size. I'm not sure how that breaks down to UK sizes, but if you can find the conversion betweein UK and US dress sizes, you can do your math from there. Even if you get down to your GW, if you're not in the Dress size you want, you can always start working on toning - building muscle will reshape your body, and change how you fit into clothes you already own, and by toning, you can lose up to another 4 Inches, I think. Keep in mind too, tho, that there is no longer a set number chart from one brand to another - one brand's size 4 may be another brand's size 2 or vise versa.

So my recommendation would be to take your measurements, and add them to how you track your success - they'll help you get a better idea of how far you need to go, to get to the size you want.

Hope this helps!

I'm 5'9" & 136 lbs. My dress size is a 6. I wear a size 6 on top and size 8 on bottom. I think I'm closest to an hour glass figure.

Current body measurements:
Chest: 34.5"
waist: 29.5"
Hips: 37"

I just measured my self yesterday for the first time since I started training. Super happy because I used to have a 33" waist.
