size 16 dress size

hi
i'm a size 16 bottom and a size 14 top, my height is 5ft7 and i just wanted to get an honest answer as to whether people people think that this is unnattractively fat. i'd like to try and get smaller but when i do i'm told i look gaunt, my bottom half is a nightmare as i have a really wide bone structure and huge hips. conversly i do have a little waist.
thanks x

No it really is fine. You're quite tall for a girl anyway so it does balance.
Ww, thats true. Anyway Liv Tyler is a 14 and she's hot as hell!
yeah your not too bad especially being your tall, its better than being like Victoria Beckham anyway.

You sound perfectly normal. More than 50% of women are size 16 or over.

A UK14 is a US18 isn't it?

I think they mean Liv Tyler's sister who is a plus size model.

Liv Tyler is big though,i read somewhere they'd asked her to lose some weight and become skinny and she refused the role coz of that.
Nope. I'm sure it's Liv :smile:
Wow I didn't know that :eek:
Ooh. I feel much better about my size 14 jeans now :smile:

I've a size 18 arse (according to the people at H and M) a size 10 waist, and a size 12 top. I'm 6' tall - hence you can't judge people by sizing at all, my arse isn't huge - I have very wide hips, a flat tummy and a nice set of boobs so OP don't worry.
Oh, it works that way round? Cool... I'm moving to America. :biggrin:

No, a US 10 is a UK 14. Go up (or down) two sizes.
