Not what Id call plus size!

[China Doll]

Bloody hell! If she's a 14 then God knows what I am.... (on me top half at least).

Takes all sorts in the fashion world... Now Fluffy's previous avatars are what I call a plus size model!

[mccfluff]

and i'm very much in demand

[puternut]

But does the plus bit simply mean anything above a zero is a plus?

[lumination]

hmmmm she doesnt seem plus size to me either.

Puternut, we don't actually have a size zero in the UK. The US size 0 = UK size 4.

The model in the article looks to be a UK size 10-12 to me. She definitely doesn't look a 14.

[China Doll]

That's what I thought daffy... Although I guess in fairness it is all to do with fashion and the clothes have to hang right to get that 'wow' factor which then makes the public go out and buy it. I mean, there's stuff I won't wear because I'm a 16 on me bottom bits and I'd look really porky if I did, I'm quite happy being a 14/16 as I was once a lot bigger but I guess in terms of fashion, the clingy clothes and me wouldn't get along too well!

I do think there's something to be said for not wearing certain things just because they make it in your size.... Which probably won't make me too popular!

[daffy654]

I agree wholeheartedly CD. I see lots of young girls and women wearing really inappropriate clothing for their shape and size. There is nothing wrong with a pair of jeans and a nice tunic on a larger woman, but stay away from the leggings, playsuits, harem pants etc.!!!

Plus size?
My @rse (well, I wish it was....)

[mccfluff]

oh jeez a fat bird in leggings complete with camel toe, its just not right

[China Doll]

Darn tooting! Although I wear leggins with long tops but I think that's acceptable, I'd probably avoid a catsuit though... Thing is, you can have a really attractive larger or indeed very petite lady, but if they're dressed badly for their shape, they'll look bad and I think that in turn can make them feel bad if they see people gawping or sniggering as they go past (I've seen people do it). Makes me feel bad for them.

Same with youg girls with too much make up, just looks terrible and they'd look so much prettier if they were made up more naturally... Still, I suppose we all did it.

As they say - Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose

crystal renn is gorgeous, she looks more normal sized rather than plus sized though.

I agree with the above comments, you have to dress to flatter your shape. make the best of what you have and accentuate your positive area's

[jb190281]

oh she is stunning cazzz, just not a plus size!

[cazzz1975]

in fashion anything over a 12 is plus,well some fashion places class a 12 as a plus now, she is probably a 14 which is "normal sized" in my opinion

[funnygirl]

Michelle Mcmanus is plus size!!!!

[LoftyLottie]

Shouldn't height be taken into consideration too. Someone of 5'0" looks great as a size 8, someone of my height would look bloody ridiculous. Having said that I was a size 10/12 and 5'9" plus in my early twenties and size 10/12 then was a good bit smaller than it is now. Sighs!!

That model looks super slim to me and just right!!
