What size should a woman who is 5'6" and weighs 188lbs wear in the US?

Question

Oh and do you consider this fat, and ugly?

Answer 1

Maybe a 14 or a 16

And no I don't

Answer 2

She'd probably wear a size 18-20 depending on her shape. There are women that weight who carry it very well. It's impossible to tell if someone is "fat and ugly" without seeing them just by size. And why would you want that designated?

Answer 3

Measurements 38-34-41 would be a size 12 bust and hips and size 14 waist.

I think for health reasons the waist should be 32 inches or less.

But if you mean what size would I expect a woman to be at that height and weight I'd think a size 16.

Answer 4

It depends on your shape & measurements more than your weight.  You'll have to try some stuff on to see.

Answer 5

The size that fits her best and compliments her body.I do not consider anyone fat or ugly.we all are who we are.Judge yourself if you have to,but no one else.Of what importance is it to you?When people ask me questions that are none of their business,I simply say,(why do you ask?)They wiggle,squirm,walk away and hopefully learn to stop the gossip and their rudeness.

Answer 6

It's really hard to say what US women's clothing size to be considering that you didn't provide any information about your body type. A woman that is 5'6" and is incredibly active and muscular could wear a significantly smaller size than a woman that is 5'6" and inactive/overweight.

The only way you can find out what size you wear is to measure around your bust, waist, and hips. Take a look at this chart and compare your measurements: http://fashion.about.com/blmissychart.ht...

Also, the only person that can determine if being 5'6" and 188 pounds is "fat" or "ugly" is YOU! You are the one that decides how to feel about yourself. Be proud of who you are!

Edit:

Based upon your measurements you should be about a size 10 or 12. Try each on and see which is more comfortable for you.
