A woman's size 10 generally translates to a Medium and typically falls into measurements like bust 35-37 inches (90-95 cm), waist 29-31 inches (75-80 cm), and hips 37-39 inches (95-100 cm), though it varies significantly by brand and country (US, UK, AUS), so always check specific brand size charts for accuracy.
In Australia, a size 12 is generally considered a "straight" or "missy" size, falling within average ranges, but due to vanity sizing and inconsistent measurements across brands, it can represent different body sizes; health-wise, a larger waist (over 88cm for women) is a risk factor, and the actual average Australian woman is now closer to a size 16-18, meaning a size 12 is smaller than average, though "fat" is a subjective term related to body image and health metrics like BMI, not just a single number.
What is size 28 jeans in US? US size 28 jeans fits a 28-inch waist and 39-inch hip and corresponds to a US size 6.
That being said, to me, generally, for a person who is ~5'5", I would say that "slim" ends at around size 4 , and sizes 6-8 are then "average" or "standard" or whatever you want to call it. Size 10-12 would read as "curvy" to me and then sizes 14+ would probably read as plus-sized.
Your most consistent and "true" weight is generally in the morning, after using the bathroom and before eating or drinking anything. This provides the most accurate baseline because your body has processed the previous day's food and fluids overnight, resulting in less fluctuation from digestion, water intake, and daily activities. Weighing at the same time, in the same minimal clothing, and under consistent conditions (like in the morning) helps track trends better than weighing at night or randomly.
Once the growth plates in the feet close, foot size generally remains the same. However, due to natural changes in the ligaments and tissues, many people find that their feet become slightly longer and wider with age. This change is normal and can be managed by adjusting shoe size as needed.

A size 28 in jeans usually refers to a 28-inch waist, which generally converts to an Australian/UK Size 10 or a US Size 6, fitting into the small-to-medium range, often between a standard AU 8 and 10, depending on the brand and fit. It's not a direct US Size 8 or 10; it's a measurement (inches) that corresponds to those numerical sizes in different systems.
Midsize simply refers to the range of clothing sizes that sit between typical straight sizes and plus sizes. Straight sizes are generally considered to be 0 to 8, and plus sizes are conventionally known as 16 and up. That would put the midsize range from 10 to 14.
