Size matters?

There is, apparently, a "backlash" against the size-zero culture which has dominated fashion and fashion models over the last few years. John Lewis has said it is going to start using some size 14 mannequins in its window displays in an attempt to provide fashions more in tune with what the average woman can wear. Size 16, it seems, is still considered to be on the plump side. Well, Marilyn Monroe was a size 16, and she gets my vote every time!
