If I lose 40 lbs, how many dress sizes will that be?

2 dress sizes. I just gained that much and that’s what I went up

10 lbs per size.

5’9 hourglass. It takes twenty pounds for me to change sizes in pants, dresses, and bra cups (band stays the same at 34 or 36 depending on brand)
I have never been below a 6 even at a gaunt looking 135 and I’m not big boned, just average.

TIA

I was 185 and 5’3” before I lost 50 lbs (135 now). I went from a 42J to a 38F bra size. I wear an 8 in pants and a 12-14 in tops (I’m still breast-y).

ETA: prior to the weight loss, I was an 18 in tops and a 16 in pants.

This is so interesting and shows body type matters - I went from 180-144 and same height - I was a 10 at that weight and went to a 4/6 - I wear higher end clothing which tends to not vanity size - I look slightly too thin right now and plan to work on adding muscle

This is me, too. Under 5’. Lost 12 pounds earlier this year due to illness and went from my largest pants (size 12 or so) being too tight to my smallest ones (size 8-ish) falling off. I’m busty, though, so I didn’t change nearly as much up top.
