Is a size 10 a plus size?

What are you talking about?
You said women with boobs and bum? Loads of women are well endowed in those regions (myself included), and I'm definitely not a 'horrible fat woman'.
You really must be delusional…the whole of society is geared towards telling us how skinny is better, how only thin women with no tits can be attractive and how we all should strive to have the figure of a 12 year old boy.

it just annoys me how these days, larger women actually receive praise for being fat. Its like all those horrible fat women who actually get paid for putting on weight, there was a story in the news about a woman who put on 10 stone because she wanted to get rich from modelling. these days if a man actually likes smaller women he's accused of promoting eating disorders or something, I just think it's nice how for once a male is declaring his preference for smaller women in a society where being fat has become all too common.

Link me to this story about a woman putting on 10 stone for modelling?

I remember a story where a model couldn't get work as a size 10, and any smaller was unsustainable for her, so she put on a little bit of weight to be able to work as a size 14 in 'plus size' modelling - but that wouldn't be 10 stone!

it was in a magazine i read at work, cant remember what one it was I'm afraid. genuinely, Im not bull****ting..

I'm a size 8 on bottoms but I'm forced to go with a size 10/12 on top because I literally cannot fit my boobs into anything smaller.

Yes but what I mean is that Hollister etc get so much crap for only selling smaller sizes. Yet if shops only sell big sizes that's fine, everyone is just like 'yeah, let's promote curvy women!' it really annoys me how these days you're actually hard pushed to find a size 6 or an 8 in the shops these days. Maybe if there weren't so many massive sizes available then people would be forced to lose weight. It's disgusting how nearly 40% of the adult population is clinically overweight...

Googled it and nothing came up...

The difference with hollister is that they promote unrealistic weight goals which for the vast majority of people are not natural. Size 0-8 look unhealthy on anyone over a certain height. I know plenty of girls who wear a size 14 and you wouldn't look at them and think they were fat, if I wore any smaller than a 12, or a 10 at a push I'd look like a skeleton.

We're obviously shopping in different places because any shop that I go into have an abundance of size 6s and 8s as well as 16+ but no 10s 12s or 14s

THIS. I can't bold sentences on my phone but the last line is such truth. It's impossible! It's either a 6, 8, 16 or 18 +. Why there are so few 10s, 12s and 14s is beyond me.

What are you talking about? Fashion models?

Fashion models might be built like coat hangers, but that has nothing to do with projecting the model's attractiveness and everything to do with making the clothes look good. In fact, not only do the clothes (apparently) look better on skinnier people, but a more well-endowed and classically good looking model might well detract attention from the clothes and onto the model, which is the last thing that the fashion designers who pay to get their clothes into these magazines want.

Now, look at other types of model where the body image that is presented is itself meant to be attractive and desirable to the opposite sex. Underwear models, swimwear models, glamour models, or whatever. Almost any kind of model apart from fashion models, actually. What do we see there? Tits and hips.

High fashion isn't 'the whole of society' - anybody who thinks that fashion modelling is about presenting a certain kind of body image don't understand the point of fashion shoots. These shoots are intended as an art form, not a demonstration of how your average person in Tesco should look.

Size 12 is massive unless you're tall.

Talking about clothes sizes is a bit pointless anyway. I have sizes 6-12 in my wardrobe and they all fit about the same.
They need to standardise the sizings before you can start talking about what size is a plus size. Just a couple of days ago I went a bought a size 10 pair of jeans then tried another pair in a different shop on and I was just fitting into a size 14 (I refused to buy anything size 14 even though they were really nice haha). So in one shop I was a fairly skinny size and in another I was bordering on the plus size clothing- how does that work???
