size 6 is the new plus size?!??

Kenzietea2 · January 2012

I just saw a news segment where size six might be considered the new plus size. This is ridiculous to me. Models from 20 years ago (Cindy Crawford, Christy Brinkley, Tyra Banks) would all be too big to be considered a regular size clothing model.

I have seen some women that are naturally built long and lean, but to say a woman that is 5'9" and is a size 6 is considered "plus size" is just absolutely ridiculous. I thought some of you fellow MFPers would enjoy continuing the rant about this one.

:explode:

WHAT. omg then i must be obese and i'm smaller than most "plus size" women.

Pretty sure Cindy and Christie have never been a size 6 in their life..

Yes, they certainly have.

Yes, they certainly have.

'And I also think when I was modeling, size 6 (UK size 10) was a normal size and now it's like 2 (UK 6) or 0 (UK 4).' -Cindy Crawford

If 6 is the new plus size, i need to be hospitalized for dangerously obese!

alyssamaexo · January 2012

i do some modeling, forced by my mother, but they say you have to be 115 or under here.

I saw that, it's ridiculous. I guess I could be a plus size model.

WTF???!?!?!?!?!?!?!? :noway: :noway: :noway:

I'm 5'8.5" and a size 6 and it took me 9.5 months to get here. I'll cut someone if they ever try to call me plus-sized.

Haha, a size 6 is what I'm trying to get down to...

Same here. Guess we'll have to aim for a size 4.

seaoftears · January 2012

Um, so if I wanna be called normal or thin i gotta be size -2?

WifeMomDVM · January 2012

Is it because size 6 today is bigger than size 6 from the 80's or 90's? Still, sounds a bit over the top to me.

jessicajoy87 · January 2012

Thats so stupid! Thats why I don't look towards media about how I should look!

Exactly what I was thinking!

Considering the size 16 I started at was legit plus size, the size 6 I am currently makes me feel like a supermodel! I'm a healthy weight... I don't agree with the modeling world and what they consider as appropriate sizes. I can't imagine being a size 0, I'd have to eat 300 calories a day and workout for 4 hours to maintain it. Ick...

Ladies, rest assured that those "models" are grossly disgusting. Being that skinny is just nasty. You all get to a size 6, and you will be just fine!!

BrownEyedJerseyGirl · January 2012

If the average/majority of woman are larger than that size then how can they consider it a plus size? Ridiculous.

size 6 is the new plus size?!??
