If you want - I mean really, really want - something from Victoria Beckham's new collection, you might need to think twice.
Despite not looking like Posh, I fancied getting myself one of her new frocks but was unsure if I could fit into any of the items.
The Spice Girl was launching her new spring collection in Selfridges in Birmingham where I went to give some of the pieces a whirl for The Mirror .
Two kids later, I am a size 10 on the bottom and 12 on top, which should mean a £1,000 dress would zip, or so you would think.
The biggest size there was a 14, not 16, which is the UK average.

Thinking I’d have better luck with trousers, I grabbed a pair of 10s with front slits up each leg. They hugged my crotch but at £575, I was sure they’d look good.
I teamed them with a blue lace top at an eye-watering £650. I spent a good 10 minutes wriggling in to the top, but cannot make 2 become 1.
From a distance I looked OK. Nearing the mirror, I realised I’d become John Travolta. And the top clung to all the wrong bits.
Posh says her aim “has always been to make women feel like the best version of themselves”.
But I just felt like crying into a bag of chips. If you are straight up and down these clothes look amazing. Any hint of a bum or boob and you are bust.
I could buy something similar in Next and it would fit.
A blue skirt with a peplum front and side split cost £545 but contained polyester.
I did fall for one outfit.

But the top was £695 and the skirt £1,455 so my purse couldn’t stretch to it.
There’d been too much stretching already.
If I were Victoria I’d ditch the designs and get on that Spice Girls tour.
See that audience, love?
That’s what women look like.
