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.

she's not that fat
Adato88
Until the fashion industry/designers stop perpetuating the size 0 look anything above that would technically be "plus sized"

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.
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.

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.

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.

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?

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

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.
mechanimated
"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.
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.
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.

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.

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

sysadm1n
But is there a reason to even differentiate them? Like, why label one "normal" and one "plus-sized"? Who is that for?
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.
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
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.
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??
mrgrynch
Because she could beat you at basketball probs
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'.
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
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.

Big is the standard for female models, if you're going by height. Next to no model is under 6 foot.

Plus-sized or normal, whatever, she's got a tiny head.
iShouldBeWorking42

JackDeHaan
Maybe her head is normal and she really is plus sized

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

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

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.

That & men feel a conflict between what they're 'supposed' to like & what they actually find attractive. That woman is objectively hot
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.
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.
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.

And even within the same store, two pants of the same size and style won't always fit the same.

That is right, to you. Say whatever you want, her weight and size classify her as plus size. Those measurements use numbers, not appearance.

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

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

So what you're saying is that dutch women have hard time being size 0?
caralily
In another comment. In the US, there's quite a bit more genetic diversity and range of sizes. N. Europeans are mostly giants.
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 $$$
PeacefulWarfare
Yeah you're probably right. Isn't it always about money. I was just trying to make sense of it all.

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.

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.
Justforthedirtystuff
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.
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.
greatgooglyplex
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
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.
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
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.
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
Everyothernamewastaken
21.8 is in the normal range of BMI
ratfaceddog
Growth charts? Huh? So, you think they're obligated to go by an average (whose average, then? the US?), rather than the ideal?
Ihazcheeseburger
Height is in the 99.99 percentile.
stuffinator
One could argue, that they call her "plus-size" because she is very tall and needs plus-sized cloths.
largehadroncollisions
We all know that's not true
Odac
Haha xD
Ihazcheeseburger
Plus size doesn't just mean fat. It means big in general.
NotEvenSupposedToBeHere
*when referring to models
giitsok
Yay I'm just big in general then
Ihazcheeseburger
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.
giitsok
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
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.
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.
Justforthedirtystuff
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.
Justforthedirtystuff
try calling a man small and see how he...oh, he doesnt care.
BrokeMyFunnyBone
Yeah...that's not true
ratfaceddog
Do they feel negative about being called minus sized?
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.
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.
itsbre
She is. But she's not fat by society standards.
BachelorGourmet
But the classification of "plus sized" is misleading, considering the general public equate it with fat people.
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?
LinearAlgebro
so because you don't understand it, it's misleading?
Blanxmarx
It's not misleading. People are just ignorant of what plus sized actually means. They misunderstood and that's on them.

Blanxmarx
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!
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.
GlitterInTheDarkNearTheTannhauserGate
I would blame it on the marketing department for using an ambiguous term
Blanxmarx
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
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.
cannedbat
"You can be plus sized and attractive and healthy" "Plus sized models should look fatter" Pick ONE.

No
gebsmith1
Definition ==> Plus-size: individual of average to larger stature (sometimes but not exclusively overweight or obese)
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
Kilahti
You have misunderstood something. Being slightly fatter than this "plus size model" is not still unhealthy.
cannedbat
Being slightly fatter than this plus sized model is slight less healthy.
loafroaster
It is if you're not six foot two
cracktoberfest
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?
mechanimated
Those two statements are not contradictory...You can weigh more than this model and be attractive, and if you're ostensibly selling /1
mechanimated
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.
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?
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.
Agandau
Plus size is fat, or tall, or muscular... anything not mediocre.
Icecold11111
Couldn't they just say model, or tall model?
ratfaceddog
Why?
DarthFutuza
More clear? Plus sized sounds like some politically correct garbage meant to not offend obese individuals.
jcarn
Who do you think pushes the use of such terms?
