LONDON, Feb. 19 (UPI) -- A British department store's decision to feature larger-size mannequins in its display windows is a step in the right direction, a charity executive says.

Susan Ringwood, who heads the charity Beat, which campaigns against eating disorders, applauds Debenham's announcement that it will add size 16 mannequins, the Daily Telegraph reported Friday.

Yeah....but they will be a perfect smooth size 16. Not the lumpy side stuff and belly muffins that occurs in real life.

"Women often feel it is their fault that [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]clothes[/color][/color] don't look as good on them as they do in the shop window," Ringwood said.

How about instead of complaining about it, they do something about it? Jeezus!

I wore a spanx once. It is just too hot in Orlando for that. I got a heat rash in a bad area.
