The series involves Sturino, who is also the author of ‘ToastHampton: How to Summer in Style’, recreating the looks of a famous person to show it can work on a different body type.

According to her blog’s About page, Sturino is a US size 12 – which is size 16 in the UK (the average clothes size for a British woman, according to YouGov).
