Would be interesting to see a magazine with regular women like this, and regular men who aren't all 6'+ and muscular.

Honestly, she looks photoshopped. Her head is small as fuck.
Darksnider05
Uh yeah she would definitely be shopping at big and tall. She is plus sized being above average in height.
TGIBallsWorth
People need to realize plus size doesn't mean fat
Darkrift
Plus sized means anything bigger than a size 0 so I've been told.
SeanAker
Well I mean, technically..that isn't wrong. Anything above 0 is a positive, or 'plus', size. Ain't saying it's sensible, but it isn't wrong.
gebsmith1
Definition ==> Plus-size: individual of average to larger stature (sometimes but not exclusively overweight or obese)
Dontfuckwithtinyhippo
does clothing come in negative sizes?
CauseImaLaaady
Usually "plus" size refers to any model over a size 10, but they also have to be tall AF and not look fat, at all.
Adato88
Until the fashion industry/designers stop perpetuating the size 0 look anything above that would technically be "plus sized"
instantbeetle
Maybe people need to stop perpetuating the idea that plus sized is bad and being scared of it?
missleadinginiformation
Maybe people just need to stop....hammer time!
retsaoter
All this could be resolved if women would just use inches/centimeter measurements.
Then they'll just associate certain inches with far
Leiloni
Well certain inches are fat for certain heights. People need to be healthy, nothing wrong with that.
So? It is a quantifiable measurement. A woman could fluctuate fit +/- sizes based solely on the manufacturer.
SigynRose
Which is the most annoying thing on the planet. Pants shoping is the worst!
NaskarrKid
I agree. As a dude, I'll never understand the way women's clothes are measured.
Maeguard
nominal sizing is easier to brand, which is why a GAP 36, Old Navy 36, and a Banana Republic 36 are all dif, despite being the same company
Neither do we and every store does it differently which is why we have to try everything on.
And even within the same store, two pants of the same size and style won't always fit the same.
I was going to type something like that, but you said it way much better than I would have. Haha
DatMormon
She looks like a giantess, I think they mean plus sized as in she's 6'4" or something.
thegloryof
plus size in the women's fashion industry has nothing to do with height, it's about weight. they're calling her fat in a PC way.
IAmDrBanner
6'2''. Yes. Due to her size and fitness, she is quite heavy. It isn't wrong to say she is plus size. Those people are retards.

No Cosmo, this is a plus sized model.

PeacefulWarfare
She is plus size. People need to not be so easily offended. Taking offense to labels that allow you to buy clothing that fits you. Smh
NurietaGM
The problem with that thinking is that plus-size labelled clothes are more expensive just bc of that label. It's like a "wedding" label.
It's more material
Size 0 to size 6 is also more material but 6 is not plus-size and the price is the same. It's not about the material, it's about making $$$
Yeah you're probably right. Isn't it always about money. I was just trying to make sense of it all.

brickweed
So what you're saying is that dutch women have hard time being size 0?
In another comment. In the US, there's quite a bit more genetic diversity and range of sizes. N. Europeans are mostly giants.
rainballs
I'm a size 0 in certain stores, and I can assure you I'm not overweight. It's usually based on hip size. I don't have wide birthing hips 1/2
MooseKisses
But sadly most plus sized stores don't have cloths that are longer. More of the stock is wider. You can go into most stores and get 1/
A size 12 or 14 "long" pair of pants. That is why most people put plus sized with over weight. /2
I understand that entirely. Not every store has clothes for every size and certain women have trouble finding clothes that fit them. 1/2
Should they just put extra large on those pairs of clothing? Men have to wear xl and xxl. Some of them being the most for people I know. 2/2
gibbon604

What the actual fuck......That is not "plus sized" by any stretch of the imagination.
size 12. 6'2". 170lbs +/-. yeah, she is very big. not fat, but she is big.
"plus sized" to me means "plump" 6'2 is amazonian
CanadianCanadianCanadian1
Lol. That should be the new category of models. Amazonian. And after that colossal
That is right, to you. Say whatever you want, her weight and size classify her as plus size. Those measurements use numbers, not appearance.

This woman is plus size not because she's fat but because she's big look at her normal sized head in comparison to her 6'2 body.

People use "large" and to mean fat so much that people forget that some people are actually large. Lucy Lawless for example.
Exactly. People getting way too sensitive about body image these days and start taking shit personally.

LannistersSendTheirRetards
I'm totally cool with calling a model plus size if she's over 5'11" lol
Theoldredeyes
Isn't this sorta like when bodybuilders are clasified as obese because of the insane muscle weight. Classification is screwy.
RAGESTARVED
It's more like calling a bodybuilder large. They *are* large, but "large" is so often used to mean "overweight" that it would cause offense.

greatgooglyplex
Giselle Bundchen is 5'11" and 125lbs. That's a difference of 3 inches and 50 lbs.
But I feel gross now referring to a woman's body this way.
And if you put those numbers into a BMI calculator, the plus sized model is still considered normal weight at 21 BMI.
So yeah, 125lbs at 5'11 is terribly thin and shouldn't be considered a "normal" by any stretch of the imagination
bitemark
The word you're looking for is 'tall.' Plus-sized implies someone bigger, not taller. She's normal weight for her height.
jayisnotmyname
plus size in fashion industry means sizes 12-24, it doesn't mean fat. she IS bigger, her hips/bust everything is bigger but proportionate.
im still laughing..is a giant big? you can call tall "big".
Taxicat
Think "heavier" would have made your point more clear than "bigger." Just FYI.
she is "bigger" for sure. proportionate? for sure (not one or the other) you get offended by a hot midget wearing kid stuff?
cinematicheart
You killed me on the midget bit. I actually snorted.
dudeWithAPhone
Holy shit, 6'2"? That makes het an Amazon goddess. A better representation of Wonder Woman than in the movies.
BrokeMyFunnyBone
Gal Gadot is 5'10". Wonder Woman is 6'0". They are the same height difference apart.
yep. the only people associating 'plus sized' with negative things is the people hating on it.
whosaidjehovah
Try telling some girls they are plus sized and see how positive they feel about that.
ratfaceddog
Do they feel negative about being called minus sized?
try calling a man small and see how he...oh, he doesnt care.
Yeah...that's not true
BachelorGourmet
But the classification of "plus sized" is misleading, considering the general public equate it with fat people.
LinearAlgebro
so because you don't understand it, it's misleading?
'general public'? no, just haters.
Why? Is there something wrong with being fat, besides personal health issues?
well why would being called plus sized be a bad thing then?
Blanxmarx
It's not misleading. People are just ignorant of what plus sized actually means. They misunderstood and that's on them.
itsbre
It's because a plus sized model wears regular sized clothes, but is bigger than most models. Plus size clothes are for fat people generally
Generally they're for whoever has that measurement. Tall skinny and short fat can have the same hip measurements
That's true, but it's not directly related to her height.
gamblingpoet
....no. Plus sized has always meant weight. She isn't plus sized. She's tall.
Have you seen torrid or even ashro(I think that's the catalogue) models? They're plus sized but they're tall and slim with hips. That's plus
FindYourChillMate
I thought it meant not lower than like size 3 or something as there was a fad of models being size 0?
Incorrect. Plus sized means bigger than normal. A very tall girl with even great proportions will not fit in a size zero.
No. Compare every other plus sized model with this one. They should have called her tall. Not plus sized.
GlitterInTheDarkNearTheTannhauserGate
I would blame it on the marketing department for using an ambiguous term
It's a term that's been in place since before I was old enough to shop for my own clothes. Men have big and tall which is better imo
We forced the narrative of the word "nigger" way back. Pretty much what I'm trying to stop here with plus size. Yay for sarcasm though!
gifbears
She's tall for a woman, but not for a model.
ApexAlpha
No, most female models are around 5'8 - 5'11, she is tall for a model. Hell most male models aren't even 6'2, although not by much.
jezzey
She looks like a plus size model to me. Plus size and overweight are two different things. She does not need to lose weight.

zoomball
But, is plus sized supposed to mean giant? I think the rest of us consider it to mean overweight.
Arielen
'Plus size' in women's clothes is a nice way of saying 'obese'. They're wider than they are tall, so, no; it has nothing to do with height.
Plus size means different things for modelling and clothes. Plus size models don't wear plus size clothes.
waxemm
The only reason plus sized means something different in modeling, is they don't accept fat people.
They barely accept regular sized people.
By the standards of the modelling industry, she's "fat", though.
She is. But she's not fat by society standards.
YarTheBug
Well call her plus-height if it unruffles FB's collective panties.
it wont. it will be offensive to tall people probably.
bigbrothersbinary
How is that not normal proportions? Cube law goddamnit!
it is normal 'proportions'. but she is still bigger than most women
That's not why she's a plus sized model. Plus sized models wear regular sized clothes, but bigger sizing than other models.
that makes no sense. regular sized clothes that are bigger sizes.
Models are usually under size 4. She's a size 8. A regular person that's a size 8 is normal, a model that is size 8 is big. Size 16 is plus
PatrikLilja
My friend have a similar stomach and average female height. She weighs in at 25% more than average models.
This model can weigh MUCH more than average women.
eetsumkaus
this is probably their "PC" version of not calling her "big" or an "Amazon". Some editor somewhere is saying "ummm, wooops"
no, this is when it is known that large ladies that wear large clothes shop in the plus size department.
both can be true. I'm just saying the wording had the unintended consequence of saying "women who look like this are fat"
maybe you could suggest the proper way to describe a model of plus sized clothing? big? large? not small?
no, the wording says plus sized model....the inference by cry babies is that plus sized clothing means "fatty clothes".
the inference is made because there is no reference made to her actual size other than "plus size" and the industry preferring tiny women.
TheyCutTheForestDownToBuildAPieceOfCrap
If those are facts, she's arguably skinny.Height is waay above 95th percentile, weight is well below it. Source: cdc.gov growth charts

21.8 is in the normal range of BMI
Ihazcheeseburger
Height is in the 99.99 percentile.
Growth charts? Huh? So, you think they're obligated to go by an average (whose average, then? the US?), rather than the ideal?
Plus size doesn't just mean fat. It means big in general.
NotEvenSupposedToBeHere

giitsok
Yay I'm just big in general then
If you're 6'2" you are a big girl... There's nothing wrong with that. But you are in the 99.99 percentile for US women. That's big.
I'm 5'11 But that's still pretty big I usually tower over everyone on the subway Except guys. I rarely see a woman the same height or talked

One could argue, that they call her "plus-size" because she is very tall and needs plus-sized cloths.

The real problem is obesity is so rampant in our society that many can no longer recognize a healthy body size. Not just a random opinion...
ToddStewart
This.
There are studies supporting that. And that's not to say anything about girl in picture...just a tangent
Plus size doesn't mean unhealthy. That woman is 6'2'' and 170 lbs. She is Plus Size. Those measurements use numbers, not appearance.
On this instance it doesn't because she's plus size but at a healthy body weight to her height. Commonly plus size is not that.
We are all getting fatter. Its why "thick" Thursday and the girls in the pictures are all acceptable sizes now.
I do not accept obese thick Thursdays. But I always get downvoted to hell for saying so.
Me neither. I find it both physically unattractive and mentally. They got that way by having no self control.
Bingo.motherfucking.bango
But is that model an unhealthy weight? Am I, at 5'2 and 129 pounds unhealthy? I feel like my weight is okay, for the most part...
primorph
http://coolconversion.com/heath/bmi-feet-inches-pounds/_5___2_inches__129_pounds_
Thank you, I suffer so much all the time with the way that I look... At least science says I'm okay
Depending on your body fat composition that is a healthy range for height weight. As is the model above. You can always check bmi & bf%
I don't eat a lot of sugar, bread, red meat and I love running and veggies but it's still not enough to look good
Your 'feelings' don't play into the fact of health or not. Your BMI is 24.4 the upper edge of 'normal'.
You're right, I'm sorry. Thank you
ICanChangeMyNameLater
Weight is not always a good measurement of health. You could be heavier and healthier or lighter and less healthy.
I suppose
But do you have a good personality?
I do try, I've been described as abnormally selfless but I don't think that's true. I do my best to always be kind and understanding
I love to help people and do volunteer work. It makes me uncomfortable to talk about this sort of thing, it feels like bragging.
cannedbat
"You can be plus sized and attractive and healthy" "Plus sized models should look fatter" Pick ONE.
No
ARandomGuyOnImgur
The issue is the term plus sized. This girl is 6'2" and 170. Compared to the 5'4" 100 pound models you see a lot, she's "plus sized"
Agandau
At 6'2'' she's "plus sized" to most of the people on the planet. Do you not realize how over average-sized she is?
mrducker
Why can't she just be a model without referring to her size since it really makes no fucking difference at all?
I understand that perfectly. Plus sized is just a term that the offended people relate to being overweight. Not tall and big.
I respectfully disagree. Women's clothing comes in standard sizes, and women use those artificial sizes to measure themselves.
Plus size is fat, or tall, or muscular... anything not mediocre.
Icecold11111
Couldn't they just say model, or tall model?
Why?
DarthFutuza
More clear? Plus sized sounds like some politically correct garbage meant to not offend obese individuals.
jcarn

Kilahti
You have misunderstood something. Being slightly fatter than this "plus size model" is not still unhealthy.
loafroaster
It is if you're not six foot two
Being slightly fatter than this plus sized model is slight less healthy.

No, but the "embrace my fatness" people do not want to see someone *slightly* fatter ... that want what represents them; fucking fat.
IrishSpectre
You mean like that morbidly obese monument to our sins, Tess Holliday?
applesforjuice
"Plus sized" is never for a male. It's only for the females who actually believe they have to look like supermodels for some reason.
Why is that? Why are there no plus sized male models? As a girl who loves big guys (virtically and horizontally) I'd really like that
Because models are used to advertise. And companies want to make money. Only girls cried about it enough to change what makes more money
Well that's just silly
mechanimated
Those two statements are not contradictory...You can weigh more than this model and be attractive, and if you're ostensibly selling /1
clothes for fat people, it's pretty insulting to everyone to take literally a perfectly normal size for a woman and imply it's above /2
average in the weight category. 170lb is literally the exact ideal weight for someone her height. /3
What makes it the ideal, then? Isn't the "ideal" kind of the point? That's why they're called "models."
What makes it ideal is that it's the recommended healthy weight according to a bunch of doctor types.
Plus-sized or normal, whatever, she's got a tiny head.
iShouldBeWorking42

JackDeHaan

The real issue is her unusually long neck so her head is further away which makes it seem small.

The problem here is perspective. That model may indeed be "plus sized" simply because she's a bigger woman yet proportionate for height.

no. they consider size 8 to be "plus size".
Us sizing? Because I'm in Aus and that confused me haha

Not sure about Aussie sizing but I think they're the same as the UK so and 8 is a 12. So I'm still a size 10 in America?

Models are meant to model things... so knowing what their "size" is allows you to compare them to yourself. Whether you like that or not.
iggyface
She's not plus by any definition tho. Plus is 18 (uk) up and her height still wouldn't qualify her for plus sizes.
sillyblackcat
By that logic this makes no sense. Her size is not "plus". Calling her that just confuses girls. A normal girl wont compare herself to Plus
like men's big and tall. for big guys and tall guys. it is labeled for the same reason as the 'maternity dept' or the 'outerwear dept'.
Mihakuu
The plus section in women's is bigger sizes, normally 14 +, where 'talls' aren't exclusive to plus sections
WackTheHorld
Except you never see a big guy called "big and tall" while modeling. Only women get called something different.
cloak71
That's because you never see them model anything.
you sure do, if you looked at mens big and tall catalogs. but you dont. like most other men. doesnt mean they arent real
what? they do model and are called big and tall models. but men dont shop that way
But I've never seen a big guy called a plus sized model.
Because big and tall is the standard for male models. Short and small would be for men like plus size for women
chubby guys, crazy tall guys. dismissing them because you dont think it matters and dont see it? tisk tisk.
Big is the standard for female models, if you're going by height. Next to no model is under 6 foot.
meowrissa24
While this makes sense, the problem is that anything that isn't off the rack small is considered plus size. There's only 2 variations.
that is not true in any way
schopier
I operate by a sizing system based on the Kelvin scale. ALL models are "plus-sized" by my scheme. It's the absolute zeroes that are scary.
This. Not shaming but the size zero standard is just too absurd.
it's a size that exists for many women and they do not have an eating disorder. They should facilitate for all body types and heights.
But the implication here is that the standard is much smaller than what it actually is. Its a matter of averages. Nobody said disorder??
yep. 6'2" almost 170lbs. size 12. that is pretty damn big
TheLittleBear
Thats a big bitch!
Maybe do something for the prospective?
perspective.... and for perspective, look at her head, it looks small because her body is so big. or go look at the other dozen photos.

Not big for an amazon and honestly that's proportional. Most men at that height naturally weigh 170-190.

How is she a size 12? I outweigh her by 15 lbs and am the same height. Butt logistics.

Just to add to the confusion about sizes: I'm 5'4", 170lbs and also a size 12.

Sizes are different between manufacturers, are constantly getting "smaller", and are totally arbitrary.
Hence why i gave up on pants a long time ago
joejoeflowbro
Man here. The taller you are, the bigger clothes have to be. Clothes can stretch alot easier to adjust for width rather than height, ..1
I think a fair part of the sizing issue is women's clothing being very triangular the bigger they get.
As I am 6'1 weighing 145 lbs (skinny af) but I have to wear an extra large shirt because I am not a belly dancer
Bilboteebaggins
I'm 6'2 and I wear a medium, sometimes even a small, you don't need an XL.
KatBlues
Well damn....not really. Im 5 11 and like 200.
"Size 12" is an arbitrary fucking number that means literally nothing in women's clothes. I could make some pants and slap a -24 on there.
Equinox13
I have simultaneously fit in pants sizes 1, 3, 4, 7, 10, S, M, L, and J-XL, most from the same store, some from the same brand.
all words are arbitrary at that point. but in comparison to a 4'6" woman who weighs 90lbs, she is big and the other is small.
There's a difference, and we all know it, between a dress meant for a tall woman and one meant for a "plus size" one.
drasparagus
For men, that's called 'big and tall'...but not to be mistaken as 'big and/or tall', speaking from experience as a skinny 6' 5"er.
TheWorstCommentsComeFromTheBestPeople
Hello from the future. Buying clothes is a pain for us tall skinny people here too. It's either to short but fat or too long but huge.

I feel that. Medium-Tall shirt sizes ftw.

Same here. The only pants that fit me without a belt are my suit pants because I paid a tiny fortune for them.
jabba23
Had to take my best friend's brother to the Big & Tall shop the other day, finally found pants longer than his 6'10" arse.

In a world of black and white we only see skinny and fat. Tall being "plus size" in relation to this model makes no difference

Based on all the comments I should be able to make an unpopular opinion puffin about being attracted to skinny girls....
Its sad. Having chunky thighs and love handles is considered sexy now. Give me a flat tight belly and nice medium ass any day!
Don't get me wrong. I don't care what people are into but it's like I'm automatically an arsehole because of who I'm attracted to.

Would like to raise a glass you that guy, right there at the bottom. Him and so many men hate the media because of how they define women x
Seriously, it's impossible to pursue chubby women, they have so much self loathing they don't think I'm seriously hitting on them.
Thisbefluff
That & men feel a conflict between what they're 'supposed' to like & what they actually find attractive. That woman is objectively hot
There is no conflict. I know what I like and I've liked it since kindergarten! I really don't think the media has that great of an effect.
MesmerHSDE
I don't think she is "objectively hot." Her arms are small as well as her head. Though other people probably think differently than I do.
My point is that some may or may not find her attractive. Thus, not making her objectively anything.

People need to realize plus size doesn't mean fat
Darkrift
Plus sized means anything bigger than a size 0 so I've been told.

Well I mean, technically..that isn't wrong. Anything above 0 is a positive, or 'plus', size. Ain't saying it's sensible, but it isn't wrong.

Dontfuckwithtinyhippo
does clothing come in negative sizes?
CauseImaLaaady
Usually "plus" size refers to any model over a size 10, but they also have to be tall AF and not look fat, at all.
Adato88
Until the fashion industry/designers stop perpetuating the size 0 look anything above that would technically be "plus sized"
instantbeetle
Maybe people need to stop perpetuating the idea that plus sized is bad and being scared of it?
missleadinginiformation
Maybe people just need to stop....hammer time!
retsaoter
All this could be resolved if women would just use inches/centimeter measurements.
instantbeetle
Then they'll just associate certain inches with far
Leiloni
Well certain inches are fat for certain heights. People need to be healthy, nothing wrong with that.
retsaoter
So? It is a quantifiable measurement. A woman could fluctuate fit +/- sizes based solely on the manufacturer.
SigynRose
Which is the most annoying thing on the planet. Pants shoping is the worst!
NaskarrKid
I agree. As a dude, I'll never understand the way women's clothes are measured.
Maeguard
nominal sizing is easier to brand, which is why a GAP 36, Old Navy 36, and a Banana Republic 36 are all dif, despite being the same company
Leiloni
Neither do we and every store does it differently which is why we have to try everything on.
Leiloni
And even within the same store, two pants of the same size and style won't always fit the same.
NaskarrKid
I was going to type something like that, but you said it way much better than I would have. Haha
DatMormon
She looks like a giantess, I think they mean plus sized as in she's 6'4" or something.

plus size in the women's fashion industry has nothing to do with height, it's about weight. they're calling her fat in a PC way.

She is plus size. People need to not be so easily offended. Taking offense to labels that allow you to buy clothing that fits you. Smh
NurietaGM
The problem with that thinking is that plus-size labelled clothes are more expensive just bc of that label. It's like a "wedding" label.
PeacefulWarfare
It's more material
NurietaGM
Size 0 to size 6 is also more material but 6 is not plus-size and the price is the same. It's not about the material, it's about making $$$

I'm a size 0 in certain stores, and I can assure you I'm not overweight. It's usually based on hip size. I don't have wide birthing hips 1/2

But sadly most plus sized stores don't have cloths that are longer. More of the stock is wider. You can go into most stores and get 1/

I understand that entirely. Not every store has clothes for every size and certain women have trouble finding clothes that fit them. 1/2

Should they just put extra large on those pairs of clothing? Men have to wear xl and xxl. Some of them being the most for people I know. 2/2

Theoldredeyes
Isn't this sorta like when bodybuilders are clasified as obese because of the insane muscle weight. Classification is screwy.

It's more like calling a bodybuilder large. They *are* large, but "large" is so often used to mean "overweight" that it would cause offense.

Giselle Bundchen is 5'11" and 125lbs. That's a difference of 3 inches and 50 lbs.
greatgooglyplex
But I feel gross now referring to a woman's body this way.
greatgooglyplex
And if you put those numbers into a BMI calculator, the plus sized model is still considered normal weight at 21 BMI.
greatgooglyplex
So yeah, 125lbs at 5'11 is terribly thin and shouldn't be considered a "normal" by any stretch of the imagination
bitemark
The word you're looking for is 'tall.' Plus-sized implies someone bigger, not taller. She's normal weight for her height.
jayisnotmyname
plus size in fashion industry means sizes 12-24, it doesn't mean fat. she IS bigger, her hips/bust everything is bigger but proportionate.
Justforthedirtystuff
im still laughing..is a giant big? you can call tall "big".
Taxicat
Think "heavier" would have made your point more clear than "bigger." Just FYI.

she is "bigger" for sure. proportionate? for sure (not one or the other) you get offended by a hot midget wearing kid stuff?

Try telling some girls they are plus sized and see how positive they feel about that.

BachelorGourmet
But the classification of "plus sized" is misleading, considering the general public equate it with fat people.
LinearAlgebro
so because you don't understand it, it's misleading?
Justforthedirtystuff
'general public'? no, just haters.
BachelorGourmet
Why? Is there something wrong with being fat, besides personal health issues?
Justforthedirtystuff
well why would being called plus sized be a bad thing then?
Blanxmarx
It's not misleading. People are just ignorant of what plus sized actually means. They misunderstood and that's on them.
itsbre
It's because a plus sized model wears regular sized clothes, but is bigger than most models. Plus size clothes are for fat people generally
Blanxmarx
Generally they're for whoever has that measurement. Tall skinny and short fat can have the same hip measurements
itsbre
That's true, but it's not directly related to her height.
gamblingpoet
....no. Plus sized has always meant weight. She isn't plus sized. She's tall.
rainballs
Have you seen torrid or even ashro(I think that's the catalogue) models? They're plus sized but they're tall and slim with hips. That's plus
FindYourChillMate
I thought it meant not lower than like size 3 or something as there was a fad of models being size 0?
Blanxmarx
Incorrect. Plus sized means bigger than normal. A very tall girl with even great proportions will not fit in a size zero.
gamblingpoet
No. Compare every other plus sized model with this one. They should have called her tall. Not plus sized.
GlitterInTheDarkNearTheTannhauserGate

'Plus size' in women's clothes is a nice way of saying 'obese'. They're wider than they are tall, so, no; it has nothing to do with height.
itsbre
Plus size means different things for modelling and clothes. Plus size models don't wear plus size clothes.
waxemm
The only reason plus sized means something different in modeling, is they don't accept fat people.
itsbre
They barely accept regular sized people.
Arielen
By the standards of the modelling industry, she's "fat", though.

She is. But she's not fat by society standards.

bigbrothersbinary
How is that not normal proportions? Cube law goddamnit!
Justforthedirtystuff
it is normal 'proportions'. but she is still bigger than most women
itsbre
That's not why she's a plus sized model. Plus sized models wear regular sized clothes, but bigger sizing than other models.
Justforthedirtystuff
that makes no sense. regular sized clothes that are bigger sizes.
itsbre
Models are usually under size 4. She's a size 8. A regular person that's a size 8 is normal, a model that is size 8 is big. Size 16 is plus
PatrikLilja

eetsumkaus
this is probably their "PC" version of not calling her "big" or an "Amazon". Some editor somewhere is saying "ummm, wooops"
Justforthedirtystuff
no, this is when it is known that large ladies that wear large clothes shop in the plus size department.
eetsumkaus
both can be true. I'm just saying the wording had the unintended consequence of saying "women who look like this are fat"
Justforthedirtystuff
maybe you could suggest the proper way to describe a model of plus sized clothing? big? large? not small?
Justforthedirtystuff
no, the wording says plus sized model....the inference by cry babies is that plus sized clothing means "fatty clothes".
eetsumkaus
the inference is made because there is no reference made to her actual size other than "plus size" and the industry preferring tiny women.

Agandau
At 6'2'' she's "plus sized" to most of the people on the planet. Do you not realize how over average-sized she is?
mrducker
Why can't she just be a model without referring to her size since it really makes no fucking difference at all?
ARandomGuyOnImgur
I understand that perfectly. Plus sized is just a term that the offended people relate to being overweight. Not tall and big.
Agandau
I respectfully disagree. Women's clothing comes in standard sizes, and women use those artificial sizes to measure themselves.

Plus size is fat, or tall, or muscular... anything not mediocre.

You mean like that morbidly obese monument to our sins, Tess Holliday?
applesforjuice
"Plus sized" is never for a male. It's only for the females who actually believe they have to look like supermodels for some reason.
SigynRose
Why is that? Why are there no plus sized male models? As a girl who loves big guys (virtically and horizontally) I'd really like that
applesforjuice
Because models are used to advertise. And companies want to make money. Only girls cried about it enough to change what makes more money
SigynRose
Well that's just silly
mechanimated
Those two statements are not contradictory...You can weigh more than this model and be attractive, and if you're ostensibly selling /1

clothes for fat people, it's pretty insulting to everyone to take literally a perfectly normal size for a woman and imply it's above /2
mechanimated
average in the weight category. 170lb is literally the exact ideal weight for someone her height. /3
ratfaceddog
What makes it the ideal, then? Isn't the "ideal" kind of the point? That's why they're called "models."
mechanimated
What makes it ideal is that it's the recommended healthy weight according to a bunch of doctor types.

Plus-sized or normal, whatever, she's got a tiny head.
iShouldBeWorking42
That's just bad photoshop
JackDeHaan
Maybe her head is normal and she really is plus sized
polishbroadcast
The real issue is her unusually long neck so her head is further away which makes it seem small.
Zerubbabel
That's because she is in fact plus sized. She's very tall.

Maybe her Head looks tiny compared to her plus sized body (:

It's because she's extremely tall. I forget the model's name but she's 6-foot-something, that and solidly built so different proportions.

For the record. I also think she is awesome. Small head or not. We can't keep letting every little thing other people think/say bother us.
DEATHlikescats
the head looks small since you're used to seeing these body proportions on a much smaller person. given her proportions, She's prob 6ft tall

hahahah I was thinking that too. Made me wonder how tall/wide she is. 6'2'' apparently.

I don't know about this model in particular but plus size might also reference her height, and many tall people seem to have small heads

Well, judging with the use of the size of her head, I can only assume that she's atleast 6 ft tall.

The problem here is perspective. That model may indeed be "plus sized" simply because she's a bigger woman yet proportionate for height.
Sockpuppetmastermind
I thought most plus sizers were indeed had bigger frames too
DeltaLaw
I know a model that told me they only go by measurements. So wider hips = "larger" in the eyes of the industry.

That's not why. Plus sized models just mean they're bigger than most models, not that they wear plus sized clothes.

Definition ==> Plus-size: individual of average to larger stature (sometimes but not exclusively overweight or obese)
IPutAHexOnYou4c6f7665206d65
plus-size adjective (of a woman or women's clothing) of a larger size than normal; outsize.
gebsmith1
Guess it depends where you get a definition.
dontmagpie
no. they consider size 8 to be "plus size".
Sockpuppetmastermind
Us sizing? Because I'm in Aus and that confused me haha
snoozywomble
Not sure about Aussie sizing but I think they're the same as the UK so and 8 is a 12. So I'm still a size 10 in America?
snoozywomble
Working on getting back to a UK size 10 which would be a size 6 in america? Wow...I understand now why people keep saying size 16 is fat
snoozywomble
it is a bit culturally confusing

mrgrynch

GerhardRammelhausen
traditionally models are super skinny with very small breasts. So everyone who is not super skinny and not small breasted is plus size.
YesThisIsJesus
Models are meant to model things... so knowing what their "size" is allows you to compare them to yourself. Whether you like that or not.
iggyface
She's not plus by any definition tho. Plus is 18 (uk) up and her height still wouldn't qualify her for plus sizes.
sillyblackcat
By that logic this makes no sense. Her size is not "plus". Calling her that just confuses girls. A normal girl wont compare herself to Plus
Justforthedirtystuff
like men's big and tall. for big guys and tall guys. it is labeled for the same reason as the 'maternity dept' or the 'outerwear dept'.
Mihakuu
The plus section in women's is bigger sizes, normally 14 +, where 'talls' aren't exclusive to plus sections
WackTheHorld
Except you never see a big guy called "big and tall" while modeling. Only women get called something different.
cloak71
That's because you never see them model anything.
Justforthedirtystuff
you sure do, if you looked at mens big and tall catalogs. but you dont. like most other men. doesnt mean they arent real
Justforthedirtystuff
what? they do model and are called big and tall models. but men dont shop that way
WackTheHorld
But I've never seen a big guy called a plus sized model.
LinearAlgebro
Because big and tall is the standard for male models. Short and small would be for men like plus size for women
Justforthedirtystuff
chubby guys, crazy tall guys. dismissing them because you dont think it matters and dont see it? tisk tisk.
mechanimated
Big is the standard for female models, if you're going by height. Next to no model is under 6 foot.
meowrissa24
While this makes sense, the problem is that anything that isn't off the rack small is considered plus size. There's only 2 variations.
Justforthedirtystuff
that is not true in any way
schopier
I operate by a sizing system based on the Kelvin scale. ALL models are "plus-sized" by my scheme. It's the absolute zeroes that are scary.
iggyface
This. Not shaming but the size zero standard is just too absurd.
IPutAHexOnYou4c6f7665206d65
it's a size that exists for many women and they do not have an eating disorder. They should facilitate for all body types and heights.
iggyface
But the implication here is that the standard is much smaller than what it actually is. Its a matter of averages. Nobody said disorder??
Justforthedirtystuff
yep. 6'2" almost 170lbs. size 12. that is pretty damn big
TheLittleBear
Thats a big bitch!
Mihakuu
Maybe do something for the prospective?
Justforthedirtystuff
perspective.... and for perspective, look at her head, it looks small because her body is so big. or go look at the other dozen photos.

Not big for an amazon and honestly that's proportional. Most men at that height naturally weigh 170-190.
ErranteOso
How is she a size 12? I outweigh her by 15 lbs and am the same height. Butt logistics.
Sasstiel
Just to add to the confusion about sizes: I'm 5'4", 170lbs and also a size 12.

Same here, 6ft, 180lbs and am also a size 12. And most of my mass is lazy flab. It's all in the hips/booty.

Sizes are different between manufacturers, are constantly getting "smaller", and are totally arbitrary.
ErranteOso
Hence why i gave up on pants a long time ago
joejoeflowbro
Man here. The taller you are, the bigger clothes have to be. Clothes can stretch alot easier to adjust for width rather than height, ..1
ErranteOso
I think a fair part of the sizing issue is women's clothing being very triangular the bigger they get.
joejoeflowbro
As I am 6'1 weighing 145 lbs (skinny af) but I have to wear an extra large shirt because I am not a belly dancer
Bilboteebaggins
I'm 6'2 and I wear a medium, sometimes even a small, you don't need an XL.
KatBlues
Well damn....not really. Im 5 11 and like 200.

"Size 12" is an arbitrary fucking number that means literally nothing in women's clothes. I could make some pants and slap a -24 on there.
Equinox13
I have simultaneously fit in pants sizes 1, 3, 4, 7, 10, S, M, L, and J-XL, most from the same store, some from the same brand.
Justforthedirtystuff
all words are arbitrary at that point. but in comparison to a 4'6" woman who weighs 90lbs, she is big and the other is small.
mechanimated
There's a difference, and we all know it, between a dress meant for a tall woman and one meant for a "plus size" one.
drasparagus
For men, that's called 'big and tall'...but not to be mistaken as 'big and/or tall', speaking from experience as a skinny 6' 5"er.
TheWorstCommentsComeFromTheBestPeople
Hello from the future. Buying clothes is a pain for us tall skinny people here too. It's either to short but fat or too long but huge.

I feel that. Medium-Tall shirt sizes ftw.

Same here. The only pants that fit me without a belt are my suit pants because I paid a tiny fortune for them.

Had to take my best friend's brother to the Big & Tall shop the other day, finally found pants longer than his 6'10" arse.

In a world of black and white we only see skinny and fat. Tall being "plus size" in relation to this model makes no difference

Seriously, it's impossible to pursue chubby women, they have so much self loathing they don't think I'm seriously hitting on them.
Thisbefluff
That & men feel a conflict between what they're 'supposed' to like & what they actually find attractive. That woman is objectively hot
missleadinginiformation
There is no conflict. I know what I like and I've liked it since kindergarten! I really don't think the media has that great of an effect.
MesmerHSDE
I don't think she is "objectively hot." Her arms are small as well as her head. Though other people probably think differently than I do.
MesmerHSDE
My point is that some may or may not find her attractive. Thus, not making her objectively anything.
