[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of the responses on this thread are so sad and ridiculous. Obese always have to look at skinny models, they (we) deserve to see models that are bigger as well.

I mean it’s like saying if they show black models wearing something and I’m a white person, I have know idea how the clothing is going to look on me, so I’m not going to buy/try it. Oh, wait, white people that. [/quote]

The issue is that clothes on an obese model are absolutely useless for anyone who doesn’t have the same body shape as the model. While clothes on a tail thin model can be extrapolated pretty easily onto onto about half of the population (ie anyone who is medium and below, or even size large where they are pretty straight up and down).

They’re also useless for anyone that isn’t 5’8”… or someone with broad shoulders, or someone with an actual bottom or chest… you get the point, I hope.[/quote]

But not true. I’m 5’4, size 4, 125lb but with boobs and a butt. It’s very easy to look at a standard model that is 5’10, size 0, 105 lb and guess how the clothes will look on me. Also easy to use those models to guess how they will look on my sister who is similar body shape but more like a size 8. The point is that standard models are as close as you can get to putting them on a neutral hanger. [/quote]
