hey everyone,just wondering what weight should i be if i want to be a uk size 8,I am 5ft 7in and im 16?

Answer 1

It will depend on your build i.e. your skeleton size

Answer 2

Size 8 is too small for 5ft 7in - you'd look like a lollipop! About 9 to 9 1/2 stone should make ou a 10 which would look healthier.

Answer 3

Forget weight, go for waist measurement. 27-28 inches I guess would put you at a size 8. However, see how you look at size 10, as otherwise you may end up looking disproportionate (namely your head could look too big for your body). Your height will make you look like a size 8 even if you are really a 10, so you don't need to get that slim. Anyway, sizes vary from shop to shop so much that it doesn't really matter what size you are (try on Gap jeans if you want to feel smaller than you are!)

Answer 4

If you're 5ft 7, then a size 8 would probably be far too skinny for you. I'm 5ft 3, weight 8st and am a size 8.

You should probably be aiming to be 10-12.

Answer 5

Being honest here - someone your height could EASILY take being up to a size 12 and still look great... :)

At 16 I think you need to focus more on what weight you should be for your height, not what weight you think will help you fit into teeny dresses.

I'm a size 8, and I'm 5'4".

Check out your BMI -that's more important than weight or dress size...

Eat well, sleep well and get plenty of exercise and you'll look fantastic whatever size you are!

Answer 6

Not sure that question makes any sense. Surely people aim for a measurment! If you say you want to be a size 8 then you get to a size 8 and weigh what you weigh. For your height I think an 8 it too small unless you are really really slightly built. Be careful.

Answer 7

your clothes size normally dont relate to your weigh e.g u can have heavy bones and weight 9 or 10 stones but be a size 8 u have have to measure yourself acording to the size chart. But remember in the UK one shop's (Dorothy Perkins) size 8 can look like a size 10

Answer 8

You do understand your bones are probable too enormous for a length 8? And besides, outfits sizes do no longer tournament as much as human beings's weights. i'm 10 stone and a length 12 and that i do no longer look or sense fat. Oh, and that i'm in basic terms 5'4! A curvier 10-12 will stability your height and your weight could be although you sense soft with. no longer what human beings dictate. sturdy luck and stay healthy. have self assurance me, curvier women have greater exciting!

Answer 9

Probably between 7 and 9 stone, depending on your shape. Thats really too thin for your height. A 10 or 12 would be healthier. Smaller sizes tend to be more suited to shorter, more petite people since they have a smaller overall bone structure. Love your height and be healthy!

Answer 10

Im also size 8 and 5ft 7, im 23 and this is normal..dont worry about it. I have a healthy figure and not too skinny

Answer 11

you would need to be about 7/8 stone but for a girl of 16 and youre height youre average weight should be between 9/10 stone dont go makeing youreself ill girl xxx
