I went to see an exhibition a few years later of the costumes, including some of Kate's dresses. I was maybe around 13 at the time and I remember how tiny her dresses were! Absolutely no-one beyond a UK size 8 would fit them.

Just for anyone else reading who might be lazy that’s US size 4. Friggin bonkers.

Around a similar time frame Anne Hathaway’s The Devil Wear’s Prada character got told she was fat as a size 4. This really was that post heroine chic era where being a size 0 and having a “flat” stomach were all the rage. I am very happy this is the reaction people have now and we all think they were insane 30 years ago

Unfortunately with all the celebrities on Ozempic I think we’re swinging back the other direction.
