Just curious. Do you think this model is plus-sized?

She looks like a size 12 to me-- they probably have to adjust size 14 clothes just to fit her.

BTW the blue suit in that link is just absolutely ATROCIOUS. There needs to be a thread about that thing.

I don't think that she's plus sized--but I do think that dress is quite unflattering on her! She needs to wear clothes that emphasize her waist, and alas she is in a fashion shoot that is dressing her in clothes for straight up and down models.

She is probably not plus-sized in the sense that she needs to shop stores like Lane Bryant, because of her height and her more proportionate hourglass figure. She looks like a size 14, maybe a small 16, and I would describe her as large but not fat. (Not that there's anything wrong with being fat, from my perspective.)

I tend to see women size 6-10 as slim/"regular", smaller women as too skinny even if/when they're not at the anorexic level, and women size 12-16 as large but still "regular" depending on their build. Height has a lot to do with it.

She is a beautiful plus-sized model (which means size 12 in the modeling world) but the clothes are exceptionally ugly and unflattering.

Yes she is plus size (model, I doubt in real life sizes) but she is not fat. She is just curvy. Looks healthy to me.

Agree.

Guy here - don't know if the girl is plus sized or not, but I sure as hell wouldn't turn down a romp with her!

No. A lot of plus sized women like to say they're curvy when in reality, they're overweight. This woman looks like she genuinely is curvy, not overweight. She looks great.

it is hard to tell, the clothes are awful! She is definitely a pus size model as plus sized models are usually sized 8-12. In real life plus sizes start at 14 - I have no idea what size she wears but I'd say she is close to a 12-14.

If I saw this woman on the street I'd say no, she wasn't plus-sized. She is slim and healthy looking. However, in comparison to the stick-thin, near-anorexic models that grace major fashion magazines this woman is absolutely plus-sized. Today, models are sized 2 - 4. This woman looks like a size 10 - 12.

Technically she is plus-sized, but she is beautiful. Those clothes are horribly unflattering, though. Especially the blue dress with the flowers and the blue suit.

No, Marilyn was not a 16, definitely not by today's standards of massive vanity sizing.
Height: 5' 5.5"
Weight: 118-140
Bust: 35-37
Waist: 22-23
Hips: 35-36
Bra: 36D

And yes, that model is plus sized.

[Anonymous]

She has skinny legs. But for a model, yes, plus sized. Oh HELL no on those pajama pants!!! WTF

I'm 5.5 and weigh 210lbs and I have never bought anything plus sized. My best friend buys a lot of her clothing at plus size stores and they always dismiss me for being too small for their store. Btw, unlike what my weight/height ratio tells you, I'm a size 12.

+1
I gained a lot of weight during pregnancy and currently weigh 170. I started looking at plus-sized clothing and realized it's gigantic - I now buy size 10.
