female only Australian Clothing Sizes - Help!

[perth bridetobe 0]

Ladies from Australia I need your help !

I was wondering if you knew your round about weight when you went down in clothing sizes?

For me, I started at 122kg in a size 20

Now I am 101 I am fitting back into a size 18

I am desperate to know when I could hope to get to the next sizes - 16, 14 , 12 , 10 !! I know it differs for everyone any help would be great.

These are 'regular' sizes, IE Jeans West Jeans... I know in the bigger shops I am a size "14" jeans (City Chic) even though I am size 18 in Jeans West Jeans.

Im starting to get very excited at the prospect of fitting into REGULAR clothes from REGULAR shops!

All help will be appreciated!!

You cant really compare - I mean I'm 5ft 10 and I was in a size 20 by the time I hit 100kg. I was an 18 at around 90kg, a 16 at about 84kg and a 14 between 73-84. At 70 kg give or take a few hundred grams, I'm a size 12 in most things, but size 14 isnt ridiculously big on me. I can wear a 10 on the top sometimes.

jeans west is where i buy most of my jeans - they're all a 13 from there. Yet I can get into size 10 jeans from Target!

My 5ft 10 girlfriend swears she's a size 12 at 80kg, no way no how could I have gotten into a 12 at that weight - but I'm pear shaped and she has no real hips but what we joke about as log legs - very heavy legs with no definable knee or ankle, calf as wide as her thigh. I can wear knee high boots, there's no way she can.

So we're all completely different shapewise - but it doesnt matter a bit. Once you can shop in regular shops, its a joy.
