I'm a size 10 and this girl looks bigger than me, so I don't believe she is an 8. I think she's a 12 because, while how you dress can hide your flaws and accentuate your assets, I don't believe her being a 14 dressed to look 12 either.

Now who cares what size the lady is, she looks great in the clothes they have dressed her in!

I know Shané aswell & i must say although she is very tall,she is really thin,she must be a size 8 or 10.It seems make-up, clothes & photos can be deceiving in a bad way aswell...But she still looks great!

I don't think the article will lie about her size, the model wont let them take photos about her and approve the article if it was'nt true. She look great

I'm a size 12 and reasonably tall & she looks thinner than me, her legs & arms are slim & toned so I'm shocked if she is a 14! If she is a 14 she looks amazing!

I think if you get paid enough,you would let a magazine make you look bigger than you are,so yes I do think they are lying about her size to sell clothes,she's an 8(has anyone heard of photoshop?)

Of jy nou size 8, 12, of 14 is solank jy klere kan dra wat jou 'n size kleiner kan laat lyk is dit mos "great" enige advies sal help... ek is 'n 10 en wil steeds soos 'n 8 lyk, dankie vir jul fantastiese werk

Shane is a size 12 according to her current Outlaws model card (see link), but the clothing she wore in our shoot (in August) was all size 14/38. The shoot was conceived precisely to show curvy women how to dress to flatter their figure, so if anyone finds it hard to believe she's a size 14, then the fashion editor did her job.
Sunel got it right first time!
