[palakaorion]

According to Cosmopolitan Magazine, this is "plus-size supermodel Robyn Lawley."

I think plus size clothing probably fits her well given her height, but I think she's a poor choice for modelling the clothing in a way that will appeal to plus size consumers.

WTF is up with the poll responses though? I know you're trying to be humorous, but is there not an option for her being both plus size and attractive?

Compared to the average American woman today- she's positively svelt.


If she's plus- I can only hope that's Plus 1 and I get to be the 1.

She's very tall. 6 feet, 2 inches (1 inch taller than I am).

For men, the equivalent of plus size gets labelled as "big and tall". In women's clothing, plus size just gets presumed to mean heavyset, even though it can also mean tall such as in this model's case.

I still wanna be the plus 1
I have a handy portable stepstool.

I agree 100 percent that a woman can be plus size and beautiful. My late wife for example.

But Robyn Lawley is *not* plus size.

My wife started out looking like Robyn not plus size,just normal.25 years and a lot of life later yes my wife is plus size.That does not stop play time for us!

 

[geitjeshoeder]

This is normal or average in our country

She's not fat.

She is 6'2", which is plus size, but on the height axis.

That's what I was saying where plus size gets interpreted as fat, but it means big and/or tall. She's exceptionally tall and can model clothes for tall women. She's just not representative of how the clothes will look on heavy women.

She wears a size 12. They don't sell that in plus size stores. She'd have to go up to a size 14 for that.

On the other hand, I wear pants in size 8 or size 10 depending on the cut and brand, and look waaaay less in shape than she does.

 

[madamazon]

In north america, "plus size" clothing is sized 14 and up. She clearly isn't a size 14, even with her added height. Don't get me wrong, she looks great and healthy which is awesome to see in a model, but she isn't "plus size" by any stretch.

Not really. She wears a size 12, probably 12Tall. My grandmother and I both wear size 8 jeans. I gave her a bunch of mine when I put on weight, and took them back when I slimmed back down. She only wore mine when she was desperate to have her laundry done because I wear 8Tall, and she wears 8Petite. My pants are a little snug in in the waist for her, and the legs are too long. I wouldn't be caught dead in a public place in her pants for how ill-fitting they are. And though I need tall sizes, there is absolutely no such thing as a plus size store with a size 8Tall. I know because I still need plus size shirts and I cannot buy my whole outfit in the same boutique or the same section of a department store. It's also the reason my grandmother stopped making me clothes 20 years ago. This model would have to buy her 12T or 12XT (depending on inseam) in a regular store, as those sizes are not carried in a Torrid, or Lane Bryant, pr WomanWithin, where the clothes usually start at 14P.

 

[TexanStar]

Yeah, women's fashion & sizing is a confusing mess that I don't really understand, I'm mostly talking out of my ass out of a desire to participate.

I'm thankful that for the time being, all my daughter's clothing is still sized based on years of age

 

[EllieP]

According to Cosmo... Well, there ya go.

 

[918177]

She's a stunning healthy young woman.

She has what I consider to be a healthy covering and eyeballing her hips and arms I'd
say she's well within a "normal" BMI and BFR.

No she isn't plus size, she just has a really small head.

Serious answer: In the UK plus size clothing starts at a UK12, which is a US 8! 8! Women's plus size clothing has nothing to do with height as far as I know, so it's kind of unfair to use her as a plus size model. What if plus sized models had similar body shapes and sizes to the average woman who shopped in plus size shops? It's ridiculous that women should be body-shamed even in plus size shops.

An Aussie, well there ya go. She should know to wear something stronger than 15+ though.

Now I'm starting to sound like a parent, I'll stick with perving at Elle McPherson, she's around my age

8? 8??? Holy crap, back to the gym!
