Models are not real people
Sometimes it takes an exceptional photo to remind us how insanely tall and thin models are. Put your hands up to cover the two other girls, and one would almost think she was petite. Seriously.

PSA
In the same vein of realtor bullshit speak that names this a colonial, this is not a french window, or a faux french window, or a fake french window. It is just not a french window. You are just adding muntins to a window. This is simple wikipedia shit people. A rhyme to help remember. A french window is long— it touches the floor— it is really a door. And it may or may not have...
