She said she was a size 16 I’m certain?
OP might be a different shaped 16 where a 16 generally fits all over but buys different styles

yes size sixteen my weight is mainly carried in my stomach and legs but in progress of loosing the weight x

Slim down to fit in a seatbelt?! Ah yes, just slim down, why hadn’t she thought of that before! 🙄

exactly this! some people are oblivious they want bigger people to slim down and loose weight but never assume they do i was nearly and 18 and have been slimming down for a while now fitting in most stuff in a 14 other than jeans tbf a 16 is just a comfortable size some people are just absoulute idiots

See it this way OP - if it didn’t fit a size 16, half of the passengers, maybe more would need extenders!

thank you! i am always worried with my weight and doing something like this is just putting me on edge lol x

There are much bigger people travelling with all airlines. I'm a size 20 and sometimes their seat belts fit me, sometimes not. Depending on the plane. Last time I had belt for my baby and extender for myself 😅 so it was a bit of a tangle up there but I've managed as we travel quite often so I'm used to it. Don't need to worry about it at all 🌹

Yes, I have said it was indeed a typo (mine). Even so, a size 16 isn't a 40" waist. Not that it matters this late in the thread.

But women are all shaped differently...I measured my waist after reading this and it's 40...I am a size 16...not just a 16 in stretchy clothes..I'm usually a fourteen then. I am apple shaped though so that's my biggest area. I imagine if I was a pear shaped with a 40inch waist, I'd be a larger size than a 16. A pp said it's a size 22, I'm nowhere near a size 22...if I put on a size 22 from any shop it would fall off me.
