What are your opinions on plus sized models?

What size do you class as plus size?
What size would you be if you could alter your own figure?
What are your opinions on the UK average being a size 16?

I don't class anything as 'plus size'. The sizes on labels are just numbers - they vary from shop to shop, so someone who is a size 10 in one shop can be a 14 in another. I'd consider someone 'plus size' if they were medically overweight and therefore unhealthy, I guess.

I don't wish to alter my own figure.

As I said before, sizes can vary from shop to shop, so saying the average is a 16 is vague - it would be better if there were average dimensions for bust, waist and hips, but even then two people can have similar dimensions and be completely different weights.

I think plus size is size 18
I'm happy with my size (8 or 10)
Size 16 is bigger than I thought- I thought it would be 14

I class size 14 as plus size. I wouldn't want to be a different size, as I'm happy being a size 8. I think it's bad that the average size is 16. Britain needs to go gym.

Great response. My plus sized friend recently went to 'yours clothing' and the till workers said she wasn't even plus sized. However, she took 4 SIZES LARGER there, than in her usual store.
I also find it annoying that i can not shop at YOURS because i'm not 'big' enough- it's a real shame that plus sized shops don't cater for thinner girls, just as it is that standard shops don't cater for bigger girls.
My personal view is that people come in all sizes and even if they are unhelthy, if they are happy- it's their choice.

Plus size is 10+

Actually, no. When you no longer can find your size in regular stores or have to shop at the plus size section of the store.

Plus size 16+ but I want to be a size 10-12 like I used to be

Exactly, it's useless. And have you heard of vanity sizing (where bigger sizes are passed off as smaller so you feel as if you have become thinner and are buying a smaller size)? I really don't pay attention to sizes in shops - if the clothes are flattering, I buy them, regardless of what is on the label.

I wouldn't class it as plus size until size 18 plus but I know people that class size 10 as plus size. As long as people are a healthy weight and happy with themselves then I don't think it really matters what size they are.

In which case, considering the nationally proclaimed healthy weight for a woman is 9-10 stone based on a height of 5ft5-5ft7, how would you feel if all stores stopped selling sizes 0, 00, 2, 4, 6, and potentially 8 due to these sizes being deemed 'unhealthy'?
