Well for comparison purposes I wear a size 16 and have 40" upper hip, 42" lower hip and weigh over 200 lbs. Hardly any waist (38") and am 38" under the bust. A size 12 pants or skirt fits my hips but won't close at the waist. Most of my dress pants and skirts are size 14 for that reason. I wear size medium jazz or yoga pants and 1X tops.

I know they have pics from all sides but that doesn't mean it's not pinned alll different ways to Sunday. I was trying to figure that out earlier today (whether the models actually fit into all the costumes). I mean, if she wears a 16/18, her hips are not 40! I'm a 10 with 40 inch hips (44 if you count the ass!).
I'ts like when you see ads for shampoo. Typically they have their hair styled in such a way that the bulk of the hair is towards the camera and visible.
