lol! I knew that!

I heard that, but then read another article claiming she was a 16 by the sizing standards of the time which were different to today's sizes and in fact would be nearer a size 12. Not that it matters what size she was, she had an awesome figure, size is just a number.

Yeah the sizes have changed she would be a size 12 to us. Howevr its still good stuff x x

I was watching some like it hot earlier...totally irrelevant but hey you can't help but love that film!

SHE WAS NOT A SIXTEEN. or not what we know as a sixteen.
you can tell by just looking at her!

the size on the back of her dress might have said 16 but yeah, the clothing sizes were different back then.

Had she not topped herself (what a stupid waste} she would now be well into her 70s - not actually a crime, and she might have grown old gracefully.

And I presume that all these numbers that you girlies are discussing are to do with bosomy stuff (about which I know nothing.)

She was also amazing.
But yeah, she may not have been a modern day 16, but she still had a deliciously curvy figure on her, bloody gorgous.

Seriously, being thin has very little to do with being beautiful.

I, amongst others, have been saying this for a very...VERY long time!
