Well done OneStopPlus on highlighting this, as I feel this sort of public information will make a significant contribution to women's health.''

The President of OneStopPlus, Stephanie Sobel, stated that: "We are excited about this survey as it en-dorses the beauty of all women and confirms that beautiful and fashionable women come in all sizes."
