I think somewhere between those two, tbh

That is a TINY size 16, I wonder if she is US 16 as one comment says? Either that or she is just very tall and carries herself amazingly.

I like the skinny thighs, but the rest of the curvy.

She's probably 7ft ewe.

she looks more of a size 12 than a 16, either way she looks great

izzybiz · 22/12/2009 18:19

I think the curvier girl looks far sexier, but will say she is a very slender 16!

SimpleAsABC · 22/12/2009 18:20

I dont think that there's much in it tbh? I think they both look really good.

SleighBelleDameSansMerci · 22/12/2009 18:21

She doesn't look plus size to me! More like 14? Anyway, they both look great. I'd look horrendous in that get-up and I'm a size 12.

She doesn't look a 16 but depends on the height. I prefer skinny but I'm short so every pound is visible.

Dh says the bigger girl looks better too!

Ondine · 22/12/2009 19:37

Just asked my DH which one looks better - he much prefers the skinny one .

Cybilsnotgettingdressed · 22/12/2009 19:38

I think the magazine photos have been touched up (oo-er matron).

he looks like a 16 on her google photos but about a 12 on that photoshoot.

I prefer the curvier one, even more so on the goocle pics, I just don't dig skinny girls.

sybilfaulty · 22/12/2009 19:50

She won't be a US 16 as that's a UK 20. Hence Vanessa Feltz being confused about being a size 12 in Gap when their jeans are US sized.

SHe looks fab and very trim. If she is a 16 she is a very firm and toned one. Most ize 16s are rather more wobbly IME, having been a 16 at various stages. She is also tall ish and so a 16 is not going to look huge for her frame.

And she's probably been airbrushed within an inch of her life as well

miche8 · 22/12/2009 20:04

She doesn't look a uk 16, i'm a 16 and my body isn't like that. The curvy one looks the best, the skinny one has the body of a teenager.

DisElfchanted3 · 22/12/2009 20:05

I'm a 16 and definatly do nt look like that! If I did I would be one very happy bunny!

DisElfchanted3 · 22/12/2009 20:06

u selotaped the skinny one to the curvy one then that would be something like me

MrsMattie · 22/12/2009 20:08

They are both gorgeous.

sherby · 22/12/2009 20:08

she is not a 16

and has been airbrushed

DH prefers the 16

duckyfuzz · 22/12/2009 20:10

I'd say she is a 16, but with good height and build, it makes a massive difference. Also she is definitely a good few sizes bigger than the 'normal' model. DH votes for curvy

thelunar66 · 22/12/2009 20:12

Erm Miche8... the skinny one has the body of a teenager because she is a teenager... she is 17 according to the article.

purplepeony · 22/12/2009 20:41

A size 16 can be a size 16 because of height and general body shape- not necessarily a small person who is fat.

I think the larger model looks the best but I think both photos are photoshopped- as ever.
