14+ generally.

There are always going to be people who say "Oh well I wear a size 6 on top and 16 on the bottom" or "my friend is a 14 and is just really curvy" but generally speaking if you're a 14+ all over (minus feet :tongue: ), then you're probably veering on the 'big' side. That's not saying they're obese hideous whales - but at that size you probably are going into the overweight category.


I agree with this, for shorter girls especially
This thread. :rofl2:

You can't simply say "This size, this height and this weight = fat"

It doesn't work like that, bodies, shapes and sizes do not work like that.

I have a friend who is a size 14 and has a really nice figure, nobody would look at her and think she is fat.
Yet a lot of people assume a size 14 is large.

It depends on so many things, your bone structure and muscles make a huge difference.

So long as you look in the mirror and feel comfortable and so long as you're healthy, it really does not matter.

Seeing as a large proportion of girls are overweight in the uk, and as the average size is around 10, anything bigger than that I would say is fat.

The average UK size is a 16.

Size 6-8 are classed as extra small
Size 8-10 are classed as small
Size 10-12 are classed as medium
Size 12-14 are classed as large
Size 14-16 are classed as extra large

and so on.

Oh, but of course. :pierre:

Yes, why is that so shocking? People seem to class size 10 as 'the perfect size'

Although a size 10 looks different on all different women, as my earlier post points out.

Because I have an ex who could fit into 8 even, and she isn't "small". At least not in my opinion.

And well I could agree with that classification, just not that it is "small". Maybe I have a different idea of what small means.

Your ex could have been a size 8 and 5ft and a dog end though? Therefore she may not have looked 'slim' although still 'short'

This is where size matters a lot.

Wtf is a dog end?

Oh no, I meant she isn't small because she had a big booty :wink: But you are right, height matters a lot.

... Slim at size 14? Size 12 I can accept, but to think someone can be described as being 'slim' at size 14 is pushing it.

@ OP, At that height I'd consider size 14 to be chubby and 16 to be fat.


Not if they were very tall.

I think it also depends on your breast size at times. I am slimmer than some of my friends, but have to have wear a bigger top than them due to having naturally bigger breasts. But having that bigger size top doesn't mean I'm fat or fatter than someone wearing a smaller one

Exactly. Sometimes I can't even get clothes to fit because of my boobs but that doesn't mean i'm fat.. :rolleyes:

A dog end is the end part of a cigarette (aka the butt), the phrase "...and a dog end" can often be used to describe something which is small.
You would pronounce it like eleftheria apaposu (apaposu is short for apapostolou) but you would say it like eh-leh-fth-eh-ree-ha. ah-pah-poh-stoo-loo , sorry for the confusion XXXxxx <3

Okay, never heard that before. I thought it was something offensive :colondollar:

Actually boobs are also breast tissue. You're really saying I'm fat because I have large boobs?
