I saw an interview with Miranda Lambert when she was heavier and she said she was a size 6. There is no way. She is 5'4. I would guess she was about a 12 then. She never looked huge or anything but she was a bigger girl and a 6 is small.
I am 5'10" and when I am very thin, I wear a comfortable size 12. When I was super thin in my 20s, a size 10. I can imagine that if someone's very small boned and short, they could be fat in a size 10. I always say that my skeleton is about a size 8, so there's no way I could be a smaller size.
I agree. I am over 5'8" and am at the exact proper weight for my height. I need size 12 on top and 8 or 10 on the bottom. I am built like a swimmer with broad shoulders and back and a large bust as well. My frame would never be anything smaller than an 8, and that would be if I were emaciated which I have no interest in being. People who make blanket statements about sizing are showing their ignorance.
My granddaughter was just here for her 18th birthday, and she is about 5'8" and still takes a size 0. She would be fat if she were a size ten, because she is so small boned.
It's a self-esteem crushing war on females of all ages in the name of the almighty dollar. Those who sell, profit on insecurity. I wish I had understood that as a teen girl -- please teach your girls to ignore the advertisements and celebrity media & find worth within.
People say stupid things like a size 8 or 10 is heavy. Either they are just plain hateful and hypocrites because they themselves are probably out of shape and just want to think someone else is worse off then they are, or if they are a Size ) they think they are all that.
Humans will continue to judge others like the cover of a book.
Your friend shouldn't be in a size 10 unless she carries the weight weird. I'm 5'6 and 137 lbs and I'm a size 6. I don't squeeze into the 6, many fit loosely. Maybe she doesn't look big to you because the 10 is draping over her very big and she should go down a size or two, and realize she's not big.
That's an odd assumption. I'm 135, 5' 5", pear shaped and a size 8/10. No draping or saggy pants. Not a freak of nature. It's completely possible.

I'm 6'1". When I was young and very thin, I was a size 12. I always said my skeleton is a size 10!
I've never actually heard anyone say a size 8 or 10 is heavy. I would have laughed.
In The Devil Wears Prada, however, size 6 is referred to as big.
I blame it on vanity sizes. I couldn't even tell you what a size 8 looks like, because each brand/store seems to have their own idea of what an 8 is. I can believe Miranda Lambert wore a size 6 at some stores when she was heavy. I am short and when I looked heavy, I was in a baggy size 4, because the cloths were just made big.
When I was cleaning out my aunts closet I saw some older cloths. A size 6 was tiny in the 1980's. Too small for me and I was a size "4".
