Ok sorry link to Daily Mail httpwww.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2034066/Kirstie-Allsopp-reveals-shes-worlds-sexiest-ladies-vacation-vacation-vacation.html
Ok now normally I would tend to avoid posting DM links of ladies in their swimming garments, but as I am an actual 12-14 either I have an extremely postively distorted view of my own body ( unlikely) or KA is a somewhat bigger size.

I have that very swimming costume. I would say I am a 14-16 and look fairly like KA. I also know that I had to buy an 18 to fit my boobs (34F) in, and even then it is on the snug side. I thought she had big boobs? Maybe she is a 12-14, but if she is then I'd be surprised if that swimming costume is.

She looks happy though. I'd like to be that happy in a swimming costume.

DoubleDegreeStudent · 06/09/2011 17:23

OK, maybe not happy, like she's having fun and is relaxed.

BobbieSox · 06/09/2011 17:28

I met her a few years ago and would say 12/14 was about right - she was also absolutely lovely!

VivaLeBeaver · 06/09/2011 17:34

I think she looks fab, my DH fancies the pants off her. Where's the swimming costume from, its nice.

suburbandream · 06/09/2011 17:38

I saw those pics and definitely think she looks about a 14. She looks great Smile

Earlybird · 06/09/2011 17:39

I think the photo has been manipulated. The curve into her waist looks odd - as if the photo editor played around with it. And the top of her thigh looks strange too.

pissedrightoff · 06/09/2011 17:39

I would say 12-14 is about right also.
People always look larger in photos and on tv than they are in real life.

Don't give a toss what size she is, I totally love her. I'd like her to one day turn up at my house and say 'Here PRO, Have some of these lovely coats of mine, I really have too many, Then we'd (Or rather she would) decorate my house then we'd go to the pub and get drunk.

KirstyAllsorts · 06/09/2011 17:40

Actually 14 - 16 is right Wink

ruletheworld · 06/09/2011 18:34

I think she looks like a 12-14 on top and a 14-16 on the bottom.

She looks lovely, she's also stunningly beautiful Smile

VivaLeBeaver · 06/09/2011 18:35

I do feel sorry for her, getting papped on the beach. Can't be nice.

VivaLeBeaver · 06/09/2011 18:38

She's talking on Twitter about it and apparantly someone tweeted her a message asking if they'd seen her on a beach in Devon that morning. She was still there and tweeted yes (she does tweet a lot) and an agency saw it and sent a pap. How horrid for her.

Is that you KirstyAllsorts - fawns and apologises for poor taste thread

ThePopsicleKat · 06/09/2011 18:46

I think she looks about a 14

CharlotteBronteSaurus · 06/09/2011 19:10

hmm. I am a 14 top, 16 arse and two inches taller than her
I look about the same in a swimsuit, if anything marginally slimmer, thus the allsopp derriere must be a size 16

DoubleDegreeStudent · 06/09/2011 22:01

Viva it's from Marks and Spencers. I love it to pieces. Not on their website anymore, but I'm sure it's the same one. Was about £30. They might still have it in stores?

Wiifitmama · 06/09/2011 22:14

I also have that swimming costume. It is my absolute favourite! They just relaunched it in their stores but not online yet for anyone who wants it.

I think she looks a size bigger than they are saying but who cares anyway.

VivaLeBeaver · 06/09/2011 22:16

Will keep an eye out for it, thanks.

rookiemater · 06/09/2011 22:20

The reason I care is because I generally don't have a great body image and I find it hard to know if I am ok or could do with losing some weight. I find it hard to look at photos and judge objectively.

I think its unlikely that KA is a size12-14 because I think I look a bit thinner than that, I think that a true 12-14 is probably more like Kate Winslet in recent photos - or maybe I'm being delusional and she is a lot thinner than that.

For some reason I find it hard when media say that someone is the same size as me and they look bigger than I think I am. I have no issue with Kirsty Allsopp she looks happy and healthy but I just do not believe that she is that size.

The camera adds ten pounds, so I guess it depends how many cameras were pointing at her...

I love her though.

ruletheworld · 06/09/2011 22:25

I'm a 14 at the moment and I would say my top half is a similar size to KA but my bottom half is definiitely smaller. But I'm oppositely proportioned to her - a 14 on top and more like a 12-14 on bottom.

OP, I think KA must be bigger than you, going on what you've said.

ruletheworld · 06/09/2011 22:26

Can I just say also, as it's the Mail, no way is Natalie Cassidy a 10.

rookiemater · 06/09/2011 22:31

Well actually on these photos www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2034278/Natalie-Cassidy-opts-shabby-chic-maintains-slender-physique.html I think its possible Natalie could be a size 10 dependant on where she buys her clothes. I am shallow mc shallow from shallowville, I must slope off to my extremely shallow bed now.

emmanumber3 · 06/09/2011 22:31

Looking at the picture, I'd say that she probably is a 12-14. I am a 16 on top & an 18 on the bottom (cursed with hips, dammit), and KA definitely looks better than I do in a swimming costume! Cow Grin.

Also, if we bear in mind that KA doesn't wear trousers the that helps. Most/some/alot of people are a larger size in trousers than they can get away with in skirts.

Merrylegs · 06/09/2011 22:31

I heart Allplops. She is my girl crush and I wish she would hurry up and do another Homely Home Made Homely Home so we can have a good old chat about it.
