Did we miss anyone?
Her bra size is actually a 36D according to one of her biggest fan pages.
At least the cup size stated here seems a bit tiny for her!
But what I really want to say, Ellie is a really unique singer and artist, I totally love her and have just got to seeing her videos on her site and getting her album, too. She rocks!
If she is a 36D her chest measurement would be 40″…not 35. That’s just how bra size/chest measurements work.
Hahaha great. Bulls eye
I totally find myself weird knowing certain things that are posted here… I was just wondering how tall Ellie was. I am 6’7 (200.66cm) and was just curious on how much of a difference that would be. Apparently, its about a foot. :p
Ellie Goulding is the only artist I have ever been a fan of. Not only her music but her ideals on things also inspires me to become a better person. She is the first person I have ever been in awe of…
yeah.
