I don't think she's a size 12/14 in US sizes. I'm a size 12 in US standards and while I carry my extra weight in my middle (which fucking sucks
trying to lose, but it goes slowly), I'm not as wide or my legs aren't that big.
Woman who is a size 16 is a finalist in the Miss England...

I think she's pretty too. She has a nice face. And I bet the people wouldn't care As much about the swimsuit competition if she wasn't wearing a
suit that is obviously way too small on top.

Lol you know the camera supposedly does add 10lbs.
I always love these threads because people are like there's no WAY she's that size! People look different in photographs, plus if youre comparing yourself to her-- maybe youre just use to seeing the way you look as opposed to an unbiased view. I think most people are surprised by what they look like in a photograph in a bikini lol! Plus id imagine theyre saying she's a dress sz 16, not an Old Navy "vanity" sized sz 16. |

I really do not find it hard to believe she's a size 16. I'm British, I fit into size 16 clothes and I can guarantee if I posted a picture of myself
you'd all think I was fatter than her

She's NOT a 16 in US sizes
Shes a 12. A US 16 = UK 20

She looks like a regular size 16 to me, and very pretty!

A 16 in the UK is a 14 in the US -- I think she could easily be a 14
I can't believe I am admitting this on JJB -- but the pic of her in a bikini looks a lot like I do naked, and I'm a 14. |

i'm happy for her. i like when people challenge the concept of beauty and make a place for themselves.Ditto. And I'm surprised to hear that a size 14 US is the average size in the UK. That is the same as the US yet we're always criticized for being the world's fattest people.

You have to bear in mind that averages can be deceptive - our population is tiny compared to yours, and in general we don't tend to go to such extremes in
sizes. Obesity's still a growing issue, but over there you got a lot more people at either the size zero extreme or the size XXXXL extreme, whereas here we
tend to group mostly around the middle.

To all these people convinced she's lying - do you not think that these pageants check your weight and height for themselves and that they don;t wind up
with intimate knowledge of your measurements?
Just because you all stared at a picture and it didn't fit your preconceptions doesn't make her a liar

And I agree - she looks much bigger than a size 12/14 in the bikini pic. I would probably say she looks more like an 18 US. But I still think she is very
pretty and I think it is cool she is competing.

She's got a pretty face, but the pear-shaped body is odd looking to me.
