    I guess the body I'm aiming for is still plus sized and Cosmo can kiss my plus sized *kitten*.

    Also, damn she's gorgeous!

    No it is shocking because calling that woman plus size is absolutely ridiculous. I don't consider myself plus size at all but according to these unrealistic standards I would be considered "plus size". Makes me sick.

    She is plus sized though, in model terms.....I don't get it.

    Of course she still looks beautiful and fantastic, she's a model. But she is, by definition, physically larger than other models.

    Are plus sized models supposed to have fat rolls or something?

    It just makes me sad. As a size 8 (US) woman (5'9", 158lbs), I would NEVER consider myself plus-size...I don't really even consider myself chubby. I would love to tone up like she is...but still. She is beautiful.

    So it is just depressing that so many young girls who are perfectly healthy and proportional see the words "PLUS SIZE" and think they're fat.

    I agree. According to model industry standards, she is plus-sized. Perhaps they need to come up with another name for their larger sized models so that they don't get confused with us Big Mamas!
    I no longer have to shop in the plus size dept, but am sure I still outweigh this girl by at least 40 pounds.

    And not to tread into body shaming here, but are her arms disproportionately small, or is it just me? Or photoshop?

    I always thought 'plus sized models' always looked at a healthy weight range - never got it

    10/10 would bang. Wrong thread? She is gorgeous and looks healthy (not knowing her diet and exercise routine, but she appears healthy). And we wonder why little girls are scared to get "fat" when the are 8. Seriously.

    She is HOT!

    Side note: When I was plus sized this standard of plus sized models pissed me off. Now that I am the same size as the plus sized model and no longer a plus size it just infuriates me!

    This!^^

    She is a size 16 sooo technically a plus size, but she is 6'2" which makes her size 16 a healthy size. I see no problem with a plus size woman being called plus size. That aren't calling her fat or unhealthy, they are simply stating that because of her unique size she wears plus size cloths.

    I could not agree more.

    At least 80% of the plus-size models I have seen, since I began wearing plus size clothing in my early teens, had her body. Why is this surprising to anyone?

    ETA: I've received a few catalogs over the years, and shopped on a couple of websites, which featured much larger plus size models that some of you may prefer. I really did not prefer that. Even at my heaviest I had a bit more of a proportioned hourglass shape and while I was morbidly obese I still did not look like the catalog/website "real BBW" models who were often all hips, or all belly, and usually seemed to be much shorter than I am. The whole idea of MODELS in my opinion is to show off the clothing and project an image. So seeing a 5'2" G-cup bra wearing model did not help 5'8 DD-cup me decide on a clothing purchase any more than a 5'11" A-cup bra wearing model would have helped me. Just another view.

    She's probably in the lower 20s for bf %... these body definitions are just becoming ridiculous.

    I thought they were very thin compared to the rest of her too.

    i understand why people get caught up on labels, but I still wish that they didn't.

    i mean, it seems arbitrary. just like women's clothing sizes are not consistent from store to store, there are plenty of women who will buy a size 6 from one store because it says "size 6" even though it's the same as a size 8 at another store. why does it matter? because of self-perception... and that's why I understand why people get caught up in it.

    but it would be nicer if they didn't.


    sometimes, I make no sense, and this feels like one of those times.

    I don't follow the Modeling industry standards. She is on the smaller size of plus size, i guess she is plus size for runway not catalogs.

    Well, if average sized women's clothes are modeled women wearing sizes 0,2,4, it makes sense* plus size women's clothes are modeled by women wearing sizes 8,10, 12.

    * By which I mean it makes no sense at all -- unrealistic standards of beauty are unrealistic across the board.

    There doesn't need to be a "plus" attached to it. She's just a model. And just a woman. And just a size 16. There's no need for a special term for it like it's just outrageously rare and wrong. That's what irritates me. A size 10 is considered plus. Plus what? When I was a size 10 I was pretty damn skinny. I don't get why that just can't be a size, and she just can't be a model.

    Is anyone offended that they have higher body fat than plus-sized models?

    Is anyone upset that someone 150% to 200% the size of a "normal" model is called a "plus-sized" model?

    If you think the woman looks good, why do you care what the fashion industry calls her?

    It's not the fitness industry or the sex industry or the "woman" industry. They sell clothes.

    Let go.
