full-figured or flat?
 

what is the trend for women in the uk? is the streotype <BR>"thin is in" like the usa, that is slowly changing to the more acceptable and REALISTIC shape of the full figured woman? just curious?

One word: androgyny.

full-figured= realistic??? for some of us being thin, athletic, and yes, FLAT, is reality! we don't strive towards it; God saw it fit to give me this body.

The UK's slowly becoming more realistic - Marks and Spencer have just done a series of adverts featuring a size 16 woman - most UK women are that size or over but the fashionable trend is - as Pat says - androgyny

The other remarkable thing about Mark's & Spencers is that nobody buys their clothes anymore to the extent that the firm is in serious trouble. <BR>The UK media is still full of skinny women, the only change recently is that more of them look about 10 years old.
