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

    I'm a 12 on top and a 14 on the bottom. Ialso have size 12pants and size 16 ones (i was upset about that, never wanted to buy that size again!) so i guess it varies. I'm 5"11 so i feel HUGE but am only one size bigger than my little sister who is much slimmer and more toned and about two inches shorter so i guess i just need to work on toning etc really to make the most of myself.
    My measurements are:

    Bust: 36
    Waist: 28
    Hips: 35.5

    Nightmare finding bikinis,i've been buying 14bottoms and 18tops just to try and cover my boobs! grrrr

    I have a size L straplesstop from H&M in large which is too big but i couldn't fit into their biggest size on one of their skirts last week.sigh!

    It depends entirely on the shop and also whether it is a dress, trousers , top etc

    I am now a UK 10-12 (US 6-8) , I have lost nearly 14lb but I was a 12 before I lost too (maybe 14 in some tops).

    Swimwear is always a trial due to being an hourglass- I ended up buying Size 14 bikini bottoms from one shop the other day because they fitted best- I try not to get hung up on size anymore as it's too variable & I know I've lost weight so look better than I did a few months ago!

    Funny thing is that 10 years ago when I was the same weight I am now (130lb) I could fit into a Size 8 no problem- which just goes to show how ur shape & proportions can also change over time,

    I really need a measuring tape!

    5'8" and it depends on the company. But the dress I've been working hard to look great in, is a size 2.

    But sized are WEIRD and so different everwhere you go.

    im a 12/14 more a 14 id say. if i want to feel comfertable ill always go for the 14 as i get smaller the dress will give me room.

    eg i bought a size 14 dress from warehouse back in october an i was larger than i am now and it fitted but it was snug now i can get the zip up without even trying to pull it up :bigsmile: and im 5ft 8 by the way
