What clothing size on girls do you consider 'fat' ?

Great insight on me being a size 16 (the irony ), I could argue this ridic statement, but even if I was, were I 6'10 or something that crazy, would you still call me fat?
nope. Because.it.depends.on.heights.body.structures.etc. every woman looks different, has a different constitution, etc.

Average height for a female in the UK is 5"4. This is not in dispute. Clearly we are talking about the UK because we are using UK sizes.

And yeah, UK sizes don;t apply all over the world. US and UK sizes are totally different. The East use a different sizing system altogether, and so does Europe.

Ok, let's be clear here. The OP was asking for opinions, I gave mine. I am in no way forcing you or any other woman to 'fit a mold', but I am entitled to my opinion. And my opinion is that someone who is 5"4 and a size 14 is chubby, someone who is 5"4 and a size 16 is fat. Don;t like that? Maybe you're a size 16? Deal with it. Don;t want to hear that sort of thing, don't come to a thread explicitly discussing it.

This girl is a size 14/16. How on earth is she fat? Depends on height.
when I was a 10 a couple of years ago, because of my height people claimed I was underweight. My best friend is an 10 too but barely 5 feet and she's been called chubby a few times.
It's ridiculous, really.
This society is messed up, i say GOD BLESS FOOD.
eating is amazing, let's face it

Surely even if you were 6ft10 you would not wear a 16 because it would be far too short, and far too wide too if you were thin?
I still think someone who is 6ft10 and a size 16 would look relatively large in all honesty, the fact of the matter is they would have to be pretty wide for it to fit them.

I think a better example is if you were a female bodybuilder you might need a 16 without being fat?

Hang on a minute, how tall/heavily airbrushed/corseted and spanxed is this woman?!
I have a similar figure to that with a slightly smaller chest and I am 5ft 8 and a size 10-12
So she must be what, like 6ft5 to make that look in proportion at a size 16???

Yeah, i see your point, but that russian model, idk Katya something, is a size 14 and 6'1 and she looks pretty good? I mean, she doesn't strike you as fat, she has a flat stomach etc.

And about your other post, she's probs airbrushed, but I also think it's about how toned her body is? From what I know, plus size models are often required to be fit, and toned, a lot of them have firm bodies, no matter how big they are. She's 5'11. i will admit I chose that pic because it was the most flattering, she looks a bit bigger usually It's the pose and the corset.

this last one, the tall one is 6'5 and a 14 too http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sxEAHYKPV6o/TWcRKgRLCaI/AAAAAAAAAWw/sRg2e2EfaXg/s1600/model1.png
my bad too of them are the same women :")

I don't mean this in an offensive way at all, but I think the clothes she is wearing are designed to make her look thin and seem to be pulling her in quite a bit, plus that photo is quite clearly airbrushed, I would have to see her in other clothes in a more natural pic to judge whether she has a flat stomach. Although at a size 14 it is possible, I would be doubtful at a size 16 however.

Most of the plus size models (14 and above) I have seen in adverts haven't been very toned, but maybe that's just the media.
E.g:

Exactly, the fact that they need to be corseted in to look slim, means they aren't naturally slim...
I'm not saying there is anything wrong with how they look, they are quite clearly very beautiful women, but I'm not really sure you can claim they aren't, in he medical sense of the word, fat.

See that last one is the only one that has a properly toned figure.
and she is ginormous. And pretty hench.

Clothing sizes vary from shop to shop as well.
In some places I'm an 8, in others I'm a 10 or 12.

It's all about confidence really. If someone is lets say, 'larger' is really confident with who they are and what the look like generally people won't see their size. Where as if they are very unconfident then people will more likely see their size and think that they are 'fat'.

For example a few years ago I thought that I was fat and I hated my body. I was a size 6-8 and people called me fat. Now I'm a size 8-10 and I love my body and now people tell me that I look great. It's more about how you feel about yourself.

Unless you are a midget very few people are going to think you are fat at a size 8-10

If you are a size 20 people will notice your size no matter how confident you are.

It's true But it's also about constitution. My sister was always fuller-looking than me, idk how, but like, she's so slim but she has a chubby face? i mean like, some women are made to be skinny, like, that's their constitution, so when they put on weight and reach a normal size, they look bigger than they are

Ive been reading a lot of posts on the student room about size ect, and it seems to me that if your a size 12-14 your classed as 'fat' or 'chubby' ! :/
I was just wondering at what size do you then class someone as fat?

You really have to put the girls height and body type into consideration
I'm 5'11'' and a size 14 but nobody in their right mind would call me fat
