    I'm about 137 and I am a size 9 typically (US size, if there's a difference). I accidentally got a size 7 for a rehearsal dinner, and I was able to wear it (although I couldn't take deep breaths, or bad things would probably happen).

    Depends on how tall you are. If you're around 5 '7 , 5'8 or so, it's a size 8 (Canada).

    I don't know anything about UK sizes, but I'm 5'4", and when I weighed 137 lbs I was in a size 6-8 (US). Hope that helps a little.

    I think it will totally depend on your body type. Personally, I am 5'7, 197 lbs, and am a large 14 and we have a 30 pound difference. Sorry I am not much help.

    depending on the shop about an 8/10 but it really depends
    1) on the shop, topshop/miss selfridges/warehouse/oasis/morgan sizes are smaller, new look/peacocks/mark one/next are bigger and primark depends on what you buy (and sometimes within a style as well - bought 2 jeans same style different colours dark blue one fit, black ones were too big!!)

    and 2) on your build, and were you carry your weight.

    hope this helps!

    I am 5' 6.5" and 135 lbs. My measurements (34 bra, 28" waist, 37.5" hips) say I am a size 10 US, but I easily fit into size 8 dresses and some pants.

    Usually about 15 lbs lost, equals a dress size. At least that is true for me. I'm sure we're all a little different.

    Well there is no simple answer to your questions really.. It all depends on your height and on your body type (A-frame, athletic frame, etc..)
    you will most definetly drop many sizes but which one exactly?!! only you would know..:smile:
    In general, if you lose a Stone that should help you drop 1.5 size.. so if you drop 2 stones you might end-up loosing 3 or more dress sizes depending where you carry the weight..
    Cheers

    Im 5'8" and 136...depends on the clothes but I wear anything from a 6-10 but usually 8 works. hope this helps I still have a tummy so if the clothing is very fitted I usually have to go to the next size. I'm working on it though haha. Good luck

    very hard to say because for example i lost 30 pounds and thought i could get into this dress i had bought awhile ago and well lets just say it did not happen i could not zip the dress due to my back has become wider with the swimming and pullups and muscle training i have been doing as well as some other things. so even though waist wise i was fine if your back is wide could be a problem. in this picture that i have posted which was taken last week, i wore this black dress and it was a 14 and i am 5"7 and weigh 167, when i had reached 130 a couple years ago i was still a size 10 because i always had a wide back. hope that helps

    Really there are too many things to take into consideration to tell you what size you would be. People of the same height and weight can really vary in clothing sizes due to body mass composition and body shape. Sorry, but to be truthful there is no easy answer to your question.
