Its wrap dress style boasts a tulip skirt. It is offered as part of ASOS’s premium collection.

Radaronline reported that she and 27-year-old fellow comedian Rebel Wilson, are proud of their curves and intend to stay that way through a weight-maintaining pact.

A source told the website: 'Neither one of them is trying to lose weight and they’ve formed this little support group to keep each other from falling into the skinny Hollywood trap.'
