A few of us are ordering dresses... how do we know what size to get?
Cheers.
Just use the one your Nan put on last night.
Nip into M&S and try some on?
Just use the one your recently deceased Nan put on last night.
Well you could do it the way women do it...i.e. measure your bust, waist and hips and find out where you 'fit' into the sizing charts... Or you could go into a shop and try some on. I'm sure M&S assistants won't smirk (too much) and will be very helpful. xx
Oh, and do take pictures and post them if you do decide to try them on in a shop, well all [s]take the piss[/s] help you choose the one that matches your eyes the best...
MnS, I'm sure, have seen far worse than you walking in and trying on Womens dresses.
Oh, and I'm sorry if I was out of order about your Nan. Mucho Appollos Sir.
Cheers MrsGrips I'm somewhere between a 10 and a 22.
S'ok... you weren't to know. Pointing it out appealed to a very dark sense of humour.
No worries.
Ok, seriously..
Have you an OH? or SO? Try their pants on.. but as a very very rough estimate a bloke with a 32" waist is a size 12, can't comment on boobs as I've no Moobs, haaahaha, oh hang on, that looks like I've tried on my OH's pants doesn't it..
I have had the same predicament in the past...I'm 6'1 and 14st, and I'm a curvy size 16 (with balloons).
But that was a few years ago and I was about a stone lighter.
seriously, I'd say your biggest problem will be the chest unless by chance you do have hips like a girl... what are your measurements?
(and the fact you're a 10- 22 means you're like every typical female out there...I.e. nothing every fits right, which is why typically we try a million things on when we go shopping...)

Right, well you can get around the wide chest/bust by having a dress which buttons up the front (and not doing up the buttons all the way). I'd put you as a 14/16 which is a Medium/Large.
If you don't have the choice of the buttons at the bust then you'll need a 22 (X-large) and need to 'cinch' it in at the waist by having a belt.
course I am pretty much guessing...
Cheers, we're guessing too... mediums (14/16) have been ordered.
lets be honest you are gonna look silly whatever size dress you go for
lets be honest you are gonna look sexy whatever size dress you go for
Thanks x
Don't go for something too tight...you don't want to look like a slut. Men can be such pigs.
Most arousing thread of the week award.
Get a belt and gather in the waist, a cardi and some Edith Bligton (sp) tights, some court shoes and a subscription to Gok Whan (sp) "look good nekked"
and a spray tan.
and a geordie accent (like)
In casual outdoorsy/bikey clothes I cannot get into a size 14 jacket, sometimes the 16 are a bit ungenerous too, especially in the arm lengths. Often resort to trying guys jackets and a guys medium (38-40inch chest) normally fits across the bust.
Reckon there's a very chance your new frocks will be far too small. I assume you gone for something stretchy so you'll look like most of the teen sl*ppers out on a weekend.
Are you getting high heels too 🙂
Still, it probably a better look than one of those disco jumpsuits that about 3 inches too short in the body. Saw a guy out the other weekend - didn't look too comfy around his nethers!
Is this for Saturday 😉
