Why are all their dresses one size too small?

They're not flattering are they?

Mind you, without wishing to (but actually instantly doing so) derailing this thread into a discussion of the average figure, I maintain the following:
1) British people are getting bigger on average
2) Being outwardly unfair and discriminatory towards the larger-figured is decidedly un-British
3) So, we faff about telling people not to eat too much, and to do exercise, whilst
4) also pointing out that the average figure is bigger than the models in the adverts, but also
5) putting progs on telly (a la Gok Wan) encouraging the larger-figured to 'flaunt it', and be proud of what they have.
6) All the above applies mostly to women, because
7) You simply don't see programmes encouraging the larger-figured male to 'work that beergut, brother', and 'flaunt those moobs'.
8) Just sayin, like.

[QUOTE 3325934, member: 259"]He's that rare thing - a TV chef who makes stuff you'd actually want to eat and you think you could probably be arsed cooking. But you might want to turn the sound off if gratuitous use of the word 'lush' doth offend thine ears.[/QUOTE]
The casual lunches with all his pretend trendy mates guffawing away are a bit vom inducing. Food generally looks OK though.

Yeah, I thought the same with smarmy/laddish Jamie Olivier and his mates a while back.
I do like the way he cooks and his recipes, though.

Jamie or Tom? Or both?

He's clearly a different class of chef from Oliver. I just hate all the fakery which says more about the Tristrams that make the show than Kerridge. He's proprietor of 2* gaff amongst other things - I doubt he's had a Sunday lunch with mates for years.

I'm actually a 'let it all hang out' kinda guy, but was just being honest about my initial reaction, which was... those dresses are too small.

I thought your local constabulary had spoken to you about that FnaarI'm actually a 'let it all hang out' kinda guy
I quite like the look of them as well.
Like you say they might be considered a little on the large side, but proportions wise them all seem to go in and out in all the right places.
