Plus size starts at 16 or 18.

I was a plus size model and I can tell you that those 3 ladies are NOT plus sized. They are probably a size 8.

Franca is completely full of crap.

Plus size in the modeling industry is size 12 and up.

Of course that does not reflect real life, where plus size officially is considered 14 plus.

To me, they are lovely, healthy looking women... finally!

According to Plus Model Magazine, "According to PLUS, The term 'Plus Size' is an industry standard that applies to any women who is over a size 12. To be even more specific, the fashion industry identifies plus size as sizes 12-24, super size as sizes 4X-6X and extended size as 7X and up."

In stores, plus size racks typically start at size 14, although 14's can be found in non plus departments, as well.

I think it's great that they're using "average" sized women as models, but I would agree that calling them "plus sized" is kind of a stretch.  However, they don't look much different than many "plus sized" models I see in plus sized ads.

Status: offline 		Doutzen Kroes and Heidi Klum are not the only perfectly proportioned models that have been called “fat” by the fashion industry. Dutch model Lara Stone joins this group. She’s 26 years old, 5’10”, a US size 4 and she’s heard the “fat comments” one too many times.

“People still tell me I’m fat, but when I look in the mirror, that’s not what I see. It’s depressing when the clothes don’t fit and you are always the odd one out…I was on a shoot last week and the stylist took out this tight corset dress and said, ‘Here, put it on,’ and I was like, ‘Who are you kidding?’ There was no way, so that was very rude of her. It’s like, come on, she’s a woman; whether you’re buying jeans at the mall, or wearing couture, you know what it’s like for clothes not to fit. It’s not an easy kind of rejection, because it’s very personal. It’s you, you’re body. You take it to heart.”

‘What they say is ‘curvy,’ but you know they mean fat.”

“I don’t want to be the fat one anymore,” she told Elle UK. “I have just started doing Pilates every morning, then going to the gym, running, and swimming. I make sure to relax in the sauna after exercising.”

When a 4 is considered fat, imagine a 12.

So a size 12 these days really is a plus size. I thought that those women were beautiful, but most definitely they were my idea of plus size, much more so than the models they use at Lane Bryant.

Great point.  But I suppose it's gotta start somewhere.  Here you have three beautiful women on the cover of a magazine, who are NOT "stick figures."  And it's got people's attention.  Maybe that's a good thing?

Ya know....I can "hear" jubilation/excitment in your "voice" at the curves...Bravo RS...Bravo......

I am not little, nor am I what most would call a BBW..but I am a size 13/14. But hell I have 38DDD boobs...I have a waist 32in, hips 38 in, regular normal (to me anyhow YMMV) for a woman, especially one in her late 40's. And The whole I should weigh 108 lbs thing, yeah right....my tits are 10 lbs apiece! So while I agree those ladies are not really plus size, they are closer to normal than most models you see, especially on a cover.
