    I read somewhere that you are supposed to drop one dress size with every 10lbs in weight lost. Not sure if its true though as everyone's body shape is different.

    I'd say around 13-15 lbs.

    I've lost 26lbs and I've gone from a UK16 to a UK10-12 on bottom and a UK14 to a UK8-10 on top.

    So roughly 2 stone has been about 2.5 dress sizes for me.

    I don't think this can be true, I've lost 23lbs now and am still the same dress size! I mean I can feel the difference a bit in my clothes but I can't get into the next dress size down? x

    I've lost 12.5lbs and I'm down a jeans size. I was in between top sizes but the smaller is now hanging on me a little! They usually say around 10/12lbs for a dress size but it really just depends on where the weight comes off you pet!

    Well since I am a guy I don't wear dresses but I am Scottish Canadian. I do have a kilt and it sure fit better after the 10 lb mark.

    It not only depends on body shape; it also depends on starting weight. A 25 pound loss will not look the same on someone starting out at 275 and their friend starting out at 175. Even though it's the same amount, it should be much more obvious on the person with the lower weight.

    You need to consider the mess that is dress sizes nowadays too. Unless you're trying the exact same garment in a different size you'll come up with different sizes anyway. I have pants ranging from a UK size 10 - 14 and tops from 10 - 16!! all of which fit me fine. Roughly though I'm a 10/12 bottom and 14 top. Used to be a 20 bottom 22/24 top.
