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?

well, let's ask the male version: what do you think of short male models?

What's that in pounds? why would they stop selling those sizes?

Is the male equivalent of being fat, being short?

Is a fat male more attractive than a short male?

It depends on the beholder, i personally prefer men to be around 5ft7 to 5ft9, under no circumstance to be above 6ft and under no circumstance to be a body builder or tanned- it's simply a matter of preference.

What size are you m8?

Currently on this post, people have argued that if you are above a certain size, particularly an 'unhealthy' size- they will have to shop elsewhere for clothing, and potentially be shamed for this.

The opposing argument would be, if you are less than 9-10 stone in weight (based on the nationally proclaimed healthy weight in accordance to 5ft5-5ft7 in height) why should they provide the clothing sizes that correlate with weights of less than 9 stone, which would be sizes 00, 0, 2, 4, 6, and potetially 8. When a size 6 for example is 3 dress sizes too small to be classed as healthy....which would show the same relationship as a size 18 being 3 dress sizes too big to be classed as healthy.

so in theory a size 6 is equally as unhealthy as a size 18 and therefore, according to such theories, shouldn't be stocked in standard stores.

I am a 8 top and 10 jeans, at 5ft 8.

Hoping to reach a size 12/14 due to personal preference. My idols are Kim Kardashian and Nicki Minaj.

I mean I understand how it can be preference but isn't say under no circumstance tanned, like slightly racist?

Under 9 stone is unhealthy? Nearly everyone I know who I don't know for being fat is under 9 stone, damn.

No because i am mixed race.

Does being mixed race allow you to say such things? I am mixed race too but I'm pretty sure if I said "I don't like Chinese people" it would still be offensive.

There will always be somebody bigger than you, thinner than you, taller than you, shorter than you,paler than you and more tanned than you. Many suffer from disabilities.

But everybody is beautiful to somebody.

Oh ok, I see what you're saying.

I don't think these people, the companies of these stores are equating health to their sizing charts though.

What I think is rude is that they have a section just for plus size, why not just have all the sizes together?

They make their sizes according to their profit. If there are more people at size 16, say, they will stock more of that size. This is based on local areas which vary.

Top designer brands, however, argue that they will not stock above a uk size 10 because if the customers cared about fashion, they would be slim. Is this foolish considering so much of the world is plus sized- and there is such a big profit to be made?
