In the industry, "plus size" could be a term for models UN agency ar size eight and up. however within the universe, the general public would ne'er consider a size eight as and size — most plus-size vesture does not even begin till a size sixteen.
Alex LaRosa, a self-proclaimed "plus-size model who's visibly plus-size," was on HuffPost Live to speak regarding a number of her problems with these discrepancies:
"In a world wherever you are telling ladies that plus-size is sizes four and up, you are inflicting body image problems. you are inflicting phantasmagoric expectations each|that each} one -- every lady -- ought to be a size four. To bring that into the plus-size community, wherever you are mistreatment sizes eight, 10 and 12, once typically the stores do not even begin carrying the garments till size fourteen, you are telling ladies, 'You need to seem like these models. this can be what you must seem like, however it's ne'er about to happen.'
In fact, not goodbye agone plus-size models were around size 10-12, however that range has recently contracted to AN eight. consistent with Anthony Higgins, the director at MSA Models, "[catalogs] can use a size eight as a result of they assume size fourteen and sixteen can relate thereto person and size four and size half dozen can relate thereto person. they are doing not use size eighteen the maximum amount as they must for print -- though... size eighteen makes the foremost cash." The pathetic truth is plus-sized models' bodies ar headed within the other way of actual plus-size women's bodies. 
According to the agency, the typical yankee lady could be a size fourteen, and however the dominant sizes within the business ar zero, 2, and 4. At size 8, the plus-size models ar significantly smaller than the typical yankee ladies, and if that won't indicative of however neurotic we have a tendency to ar regarding what the bulk of woman's bodies seem like, i do not grasp what's. 
As a fat lady, I long to envision women UN agency seem like Maine modeling the garments being oversubscribed to Maine. several "plus-size" models ar stunning and healthy, and i am thus happy they need flourishing careers that maybe felt not possible 10 or fifteen years agone (see the attractive, awful Robyn Lawley on top of, and therefore the attractive, awful Sophie Tweed-Simmons below) — however i believe they must be doing that within the straight-size market. as a result of that is what they are: straight-sized. A size eight will search just about anyplace a size two will search, however size fourteen cannot. Hence, a size eight isn't AN actual and size.
Of course, we have a tendency to still see fashion predominately on skinny bodies as a result of we're told that is what sells. however the actual fact is, it's simply what we've been fed for thus long that we do not grasp what the choice would seem like. this might amendment, however the style business would need to need it to. consistent with analysis printed in PLoS ONE, Seeing numerous bodies makes United States of America {more comfortable|easier|lighter|more leisurely|more we have a tendency toll-off|softer} with body diversity — that means the a lot of size fourteen ladies we see, the a lot of we have a tendency to're like "hey! she appearance good!" rather than "avert thine eyes from the Chubster McThunderThighs"! If we saw a lot of average-sized ladies in media, the softer we might be with those pictures and therefore the a lot of we'd need to envision women UN agency seem like United States of America in movies, TV, and ad campaigns. From wherever i am standing (OK, sitting) (in my size sixteen recent Navy yoga pants), it seems like a stellar plan.
