Hiii, I was wondering what dress size you all are?

Im 5'8

Im nearly at my goal weight and my target was a size 8, but I still am a size 10. I live in the UK, I was also wondering how sizes differ in other countries too...

My measurements are:
Bust:34
Waist:26
Hips:33

Should I be fitting in a size 8?

Be great to hear from you!

    I'm an 11/12, sometimes 9/10 American size. I THINK you would be a size 6 American, but I'm not certain.

    I think it depends on the Brand, I know Baby Phat runs smaller than Ecko. So it depends, I have size 18 jeans that I should fit into but the brand runs small, so I have to be a 14 to fit into them.
    I am in the US and currently 5'2" 207 lbs, I got my wedding dress in a size 16 when I was 213 lbs but I was actually and 18, I haven't tried it on since I got it because I want to try it on at the end of the month, but from what I know of I am still a size 18 or 2X depending on the label. My goal is to be a size 6 for my wedding but I will settle for a size 9. lol
    Current Measurements in inches
    Bust--- 43
    Waist--- 40.5
    Hips----48.5
    What size would I be in the UK?

    I am too 5'8 and currently a size 12 - 14. I'm not sure of my measurements although I'm 34 ff bust! I'm hoping to get down to 10 -12! With my healthy weight of 10 half stone. (I have never been a size 8 even at my smallest of 9 and half stone).

    Hi, I am also from the UK, my dress size is 12 or 14 at the moment. But saying that the other day I went into newlook and tried on several dress's in a 14 and could not get them anywhere near me. Also i have shorts in the following sizes 12, 14, 16 20 & 22 and they all fit. I have 2 x jackets in a size 22 and they also fit. Most of my clothes are a size 12 though. It all according who;s made the clothes sizing in this country is shocking.

    It depends on the individual garment, but I'm an average UK 16 at the moment. Would like to get down to a 12, ideally.

    Mmmmh New Look sizes are all toooo small compared to other makes. But then the styles are aimed at teenagers so are cut on the non mature measurements. lol!

    I'm not sure what my dress size is anymore, seeing as how I never wear dresses. :laugh: I do know that I've always worn a bigger dress size than pant size though.

    New Looks sizing is so rubbish theses days. I too tried on a lovely size 14 dress and I so struggled to get it over my shoulders let alone my bust and hips!

    I have an old pair of size 10 Next jeans that I only wear on my skinny days, but recently could fit only just squeeze into a size 14!

    Uk sizing is all over the place!

    thank you for all your replies, It must depend on country, shop etc, I may be a size 8 in some shops and size 12 in others. Ovousily depends on the size the clothes get made by xxxx
