Shape — not size — matters to women

BRITISH women are less concerned with squeezing into a size 10 dress than getting a curvy hourglass shape like Nigella Lawson, according to a survey published yesterday.

Despite 60% of women admitting to being an “apple” or “pear” shape, 75% hanker after the defined waistline of the figure that Marilyn Monroe made famous and just 10% said they wanted to slim into size 10.
