The Spice Girls are heading back out on tour this year minus Victoria Beckham who has decided to focus on her fashion line.
Posh launched her label more than 10 years ago and it has gained a huge celebrity following.
The former Spice Girl says her aim “has always been to make women feel like the best version of themselves” - and one woman decided to put her clothes to the test.
Mirror reporter Grace MacAskill headed to Birmingham’s Selfridges store where Posh launched her spring collection last week.
The mum of two describes herself as a size 10 on the bottom and 12 on top. After trying and failing to squeeze into a £1,000 dress the right size for her, she was forced to go up to a size 14 - the biggest she could find, as there was nothing for a 16, despite this being the average size in the UK.
Moving onto the trousers, she said: “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.
Grace’s verdict: “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.”
