Apparently Debenhams are to use size 16 models showcasing their clothes in their windows starting with London as an experiment. About time they stopped using unrealistic size tens.

I think the idea is to see what women think. I should think, as 16 is now the average size, that women will be overjoyed to see something normal.

A larger than normal tummy might be a start, then I wouldn't try on skirts in clingy materials. Maybe it will backfire on them though, put people off buying the clothes!
