Plus-Sized Model Contest Winner
If you click on the picture, you will find that instead of a "new face of plus-sized fashion," what the world really needs is new plus-sized fashion. I mean, what the hell is that outfit about? And that fake flower on her hand? Hideous!

You know what's worse? That a size 14 is the "new face of plus sized fashion"! Why not at least a size 22?
I think her size as a plus size is about right- what I found striking is that her face is so damn bony! It is like a starved person's face on a big body. And that outfit is hideous!
What's really disgusting is that a 14 is not a large size, it's average in the US! Don't you wonder who's fooling whom? I mean... Gawd. I don't know how to express what I'm thinking. Who really believes that a size 14 is 'plus-sized'?
Got a link to you from Julie/skinnydaily--and had to thank you for the laugh I got from your note about the Lane Bryant model. Good Lord, it is good to be able to laugh! And truly, a size 14/16 tall person is PLUS size?? Give me a blinkin' break!
I am about 5'9" and am a size 12 and I had a woman from I forget which modeling agency ask me if I wanted to be a model, she said that plus size models start from size 10 and up.
omg... That model does not look plus-sized! I also loathe that tent that she's wearing for a top, to emulate a fuller body!
well i have learn as far as men go if i think i'm sexy they do too.
it makes all the little girls mad......hahahahaha
i had a women come up to me on the street and ask me to be a model for a gap,but i turned her down i don't want to be a model for any t.v show or anything else i'm fine being a normal person and being a role model for my baby girl.
ok, the crappy thing about all clothing and modeling is that they cater to small busted women. even in plus size modeling. I am 5'9 a size 12 and I wear a 38F bra size naturally. whenever I buy dresses at lane bryants they automatically assume large breasts means that the rest of me must be equivelent to the size of my breasts.
Oh god! I am a size 38f breast but wear a size 10 pant but why does all the clothing manufacturers think that if you are large on top you have to be large on bottom??? Or that you do not like lacy feminine bras????
Confused????
I agree with so many of you. I am a 22 and have been for a long time. I consider myself very fashionable. I feel that 18 and up is plus size. To see someone who is a 14 and winning is not sending a good message to the world. What's wrong with a size 22 winning, I'm a 22 and I feel I look damn good!!!
I really didn't like the outfit that the plus sized model was wearing. Designers act as if plus sized people don't have good assests that they would like to show off. (like my booty)
hi im a teen and i think that being plus size is no big deal just as long as yor happy with your self. i've been big all of my life and one day i would really love to be a model. and being the way i am i still have tons of friends and family that love me for who i am. but all of my friends and family aren't big so sometimes i feel a little out of place but im happy for who iam and also the body that god has blessed me with
Well i'm a plus size teen. I am astounded at how shallow people have become. People assume that if you wear a size any bigger than a 12 then you are a fat blob. I understand that sometimes plus-sized people are not always the prettiest people to look at, but everyone is beautiful in their own way. I am a wrestler and i am rether good at it. I won third place at state regionals last year in the 220 weight devision. I have, since then, lost alot of weight. But people still see me as fat. I now wear a size 19 and all. i thought that it was something that i was doing but i wonder now. I would like your comments so if you would like to email me at jesemerick@cosmo.com, i would appreciate it immensily. Thank you.
heeey! Im a teen plus sized girl, and been approached by various modelling agencies (but it's not my thing.) I completely agree with the fact there really isn't much going on with the plus sized fashion industry...quite frankly the clothes are pants and look like giant tents. If you were one of those oversized tops I swear, you look pregnant!...that woman's face is so skinny. I'd also like to say, when you're a skinny model your face doesn't matter as much- it has to be neutral, but when your plus sized it's always beautiful...weird.
Size 14 is "plus size"... I've been modeling for a year now and I'm barely a 14... So i am glad, you guys shoiuld stop hatin' and just try to advance, be happy not hateful :)
Marilyn Monroe was the industrial size 14 which is more like a size 8. Sizes have changed since then. I am about a size 13-15 depending on the style but my industrial size is 22. I learned this at school because I am a fashion design major. Just thought I'd add that little info to comment the post above.
OK...EVERYONE WASN'T MEANT TO BE SKINNY AND EVERYONE WASN'T MEANT TO BE FAT... JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE IS THIN DOESN'T MEAN THEY ARE HUNGRY.... SO APPARENTLY FOOD IS ALL FAT PEOPLE THINK ABOUT OR JUST JEALOUS.... I AM THIN BUT I AM NOT HUNGRY....DON'T HATE...BIG OR SMALL
I agree with everyone! I just lost 60 pounds, down to a size 10/12 from a 16/18 ... It's amazing how, even though I'm inches smaller, clothes still aren't made to fit "me" ... I think a lot of it is the quality of clothing ... even if they do come in a "large" size, they really aren't /made/ to fit you properly. Little or no thought goes into fashion, for anyone "real."
Just as bad: shoes. Try to find a ladie's size eleven in a wide. It doesn't exist.
I completely agree that clothes are not made for people who may be disproportionate. I go the other way, I'm 5'9 and wear a 22/24 but I have no boobs or butt. I would wear an A cup if I could find one that was made for a 42 back size. I can't fill out any of the clothes in Lane Bryant because they are made to fit women with large breasts. The shirts hang in all the wrong spots because of that and even worse with dresses. I can't find pants anywhere made for someone of my size that do not sag in the butt because everybody assumes if a woman is big, her butt is too. And being a bigger young woman (I'm 20) I hate the fashion. When i was younger I felt Lane Bryant was geared at showing off curves, but now all their shirts and dresses hide everything. While some of us may want to hide, us young girls would also like to wear clothes to fit our age. I'm happy to see that places like Old Navy offer plus size online. Even American Eagle has shirts online that a size 22 could fit into. Sometimes I feel like my small boobs help me fit into smaller shirts because there is less to cover, so thats a plus! haha
SIZE 14 IS NOT PLUS SIZED!! I'm a size 14 and i'm 5"8, only because i don't wan't tops that sow off my belly button all the time!
I'm a 14/16. I can never find clothes anywhere but lane bryant that fit me. You are all also assuming that she is the 14 side of the size. She could be a 16, which is plus size.
I simply won't buy from "Plus Size" stores which use models that don't represent me (size 20/22). Some of these stores actually use only thin models in their catalogues (with the garments tightly pinned in the back, to make them appear to fit properly).
Even worse, a lot of the clothes offered by these stores are either tent-like, or are just scaled-up versions of skinny people's clothes, which look hideous on a larger figure (like, for example, a horizontally striped tube top).
Clothes must be designed and cut for the various plus-size figures (apple, pear, hourglass, carrot).
Since I realized that manufacturers wouldn't do this, I taught myself how to sew, and now I design & make most of my own clothes. They look great and fit perfectly. And I'm not going to meet my "twin" anywhere either!
Great article! Thanks.
