Isn't it funny (and for 'funny', read 'bloody annoying!) how dress sizes and weight can vary so much. For example, I am 5'6", weigh just under 12 stone now, and am a 12 in most shops. My mother, same height, is a size 16-18... and weighs 11st 7lbs. She cannot BELIEVE how heavy I am - when we were sharing the odd outfit, I was 3 stone heavier than her!
I have a friend who, when she was 12st, could JUST squeeze into a size 14. She is trying to lose weight again now but doesn't think she'll ever be a size 12 (her ideal size) - and she is tall, so 12st is a reasonable BMI for her.
Another friend who, at her heaviest was 22 stone, genuinely believe dress sizes were given originally based on stone as she found when she was 22 stone she was a size 22, 18 stone a size 18 etc - and now, at her goal of 10 stone, she is a size 10!
So, how do YOUR dress sizes correspond to weight?
