Ladies only please.....

I'm doing some quick research and would love some assistance from our gal members.

What do you consider your ideal dress size after a successful weight loss surgery ?

Torrid makes me so mad. They haven't had any cute clothes in like 3 or 4 years. The buyers they have now are terrible.

I don't miss paying $40 for a graphic tee.

I'm a 12 sometimes a 10 now and my goal now is an 8. When you get closers you might want to go smaller.

@@OutsideMatchInside I can agree that probably wouldn't pay the prices if I didn't get the employee discount. I've noticed that the styles haven't been as good in the past year or so. I still really dig the jeans and the dresses. "Cute" is definitely a matter of opinion. I also find that everything looks better in person than it does online.

And congrats! I can't remember being under a size 14, so the day I get to a 12 I'll probably cry haha.

Then again I've always been larger. So I guess it doesn't bother me as much as it does some folks

I think there must be a formula based on original size since we all have different starting weights and amounts of excess weight. I was a size 20 and now I'm size 8. I would have said size 12 before wls becauze I couldn't conceptualize myself being smaller prior to wls. Size 8 feels perfect for me!

10 or 12 is my current goal. I cannot even imagine being a size 4. I think my bones alone are bigger than that! But maybe not! And you look amazing!! But I myself, cannot fathom it. I started out at a size 28/30. Currently a 16. And to be honest with you, I can totally live with this. But I wouldn't mind getting down to a 10/12.

I am 1 year post op. Started out a size 20 and my sizing is all over the place. Anywhere between a 6 to 10. I am in love with Ralph Lauren right now, due to their vanity sizing I wear a 6 in that brand. Most others I wear an 8. Brands like Forever 21, Charlotte Russe, etc which are geared toward a younger demographic (I'm 42), I wear a 10 or a L.

Sleeved march 16 and started at a size 20/22 now I am wearing anything from 4 to 6 depending on the cut. I was going to be happy being a 12.

I was purging my closet and have a nice size 12 dress that fits me and I'm a size 8. I can wear a smaller size sometimes, even have a size 4 in my closet...but I'm closest to an 8 than anything.
