Dress sizes

[Tyraboots]

I wonder what dress sizes you are out there?
What were you to begin with what are you now?

Personally, it is a dream of mine to be able to wear Monsoon clothes. They go up to size 22.

I am currently a 30. Realistically I doubt if I will get below an 18, which would be great for me.

I am currently a 22/24 but want to gt down to a 12/14. When I am slim I am going to get a 'personal shopper' at John Lewis to tell me what suits me. I currently have no idea and just buy what fits!

I was a 28/30 I am 10 weeks post op and now wearing my old size 22. It feels great! I am glad I kept hold of old clothes.

I know you live in Luton, if you go to Hitchin market on a Saturday there is a big clothes stalls there and the prices are very very cheap. They are shop returns or end of line from many top stores. T-shirts and tops £4, coats £5, skirts £4 and trousers £4. It is great for anyone who is going down the weight slide. It will helps people save money and have some clothes while losing weight fast.

Gingernutter great advice, I'm local too so will go to the market next time I'm in Hitchin.

I currently wear a size 26/28 but am totally with Tyraboots in that I too dream of being able to shop in Monsoon. Hubby is dreading it already!!!

Oh! that market stall is there on a Tuesday also, I forgot thats as I am working in the week.

I think it has help me as feeling fat is bad enough without the added problem of paying out loads of money on clothes you don't really feel comfortable in.

i was a 26/28 and am now in a size 10 bottoms and skinny leg at that and a 12/14 top depending on the cut as i still have big boobs 32FF cup.
TK Max has become my fav shop as you get nice designer lables at a fraction of the price. Im lucky as within 10 mins travelling no matter what direction i g ther are 5 tk max's and all have very different stuff.

Hi I started at size 24/26 I'm 10 weeks post op and I can now fit into my size 20 jeans and 22/20 tops. I seem to be losing slowly (about 2lb's+ weekly) but steady hopefully I'll be a 16/18 for xmas!! lol

 

[salski]

I started off as a 26-28 and Im now in 18's both top and bottom. Hopelesscase has just been amazing and given me a huge bag of size 16's so Im currently wearing them but they are a teeny bit tight

 

[fat-girl-slim08]

I was a size 16/18 some tops were a size 20
10 months on I am a size 4/6
I have size 4 Jeans & size 6 Jeans
I am a size 8 In a dress But could probably fit a size 6.

 

[cazbandy]

I have never gone by sizes, it's what fits that's important...

I have a Per Una skirt thats an 18 and it fits, but I am more a 20-22 on the bottom due to my apron at the front. Which is very big still.

Topswise, its still a 22-24-26 due to huge bangers...LOL

But I was a 32/34 to start with, so thats an acheivement in itself.

Oh and I have bought my wedding dress in a size 20 and its way too big already, but I know I will be able to take the whole back sections off and put in 2 smaller ones!
Hehehe

 

[bexmoss86]

Its great to go down sizes isnt it!
I was a 24-26-28 before and yesterday I picked up some jeans from asda and they were a size 22 and they were HUGE!!! bit annoying because ive gotta take them back but it will feel great when I say at the checkout
Checkout person: "Is there anything wrong with them?"
Me: "Nope. just too big"

Instead of saying too small loll
