London, Apr 30 : Model Sophie Dahl claims that her full-figured body made her look raunchy, even with clothes on.

The stunner, who created frenzy with her provocative ad for Opium perfume way back in 2000, revealed she struggled to look demure in any outfit in her curvier days.

The 31-year-old granddaughter of Roald Dahl dieted her way from voluptuous to svelte.

"When you've got big bosoms and a really big bottom it's difficult to get dressed," The Daily express quoted Dahl, as saying.

London, Apr 27 : English model Sophie Dahl has blasted "stick-thin starlets" for inspiring others to diet.

Dahl, 31, who is very curvaceous, and had been a size 14 when she began modelling aged 19, warned people not to follow the "paranoid and unhappy" stars.

"Starving is not sexy," the Sun quoted her as saying.
