New York Fashion week this week - hence loads in the media about the whole using "plus size" models issue (rather than emaciated rakes).
Am I missing something here or is the very fact that they continue to be called "plus size" (which I think starts at a size 12
) just fuel the distinction between the two "types" even further?
Can't we just have "models" who look great in wonderful clothes whatever weight, body shape, or disability they have?
AIBU to wonder why we are still discussing the size issue in such an overly PC society? I didn't realise until recently that most high end designers don't do clothes over about a 12
.
Surely the average british woman is about a size 14?
I have recently lost a lot of weight due to illness and at 5'7 am finding a size 8 is loose on me (I am trying to put weight back on)and have been pretty shocked at how many people (unware of the reason why) have commented on how "great" I look, when I clearly need to put on a good half a stone
