Size 12 used to be considered plus-sized but after seeing the story this morning, they said that 12 is still smaller than most female Americans. 4951

She is plus-sized from the perspective of a model, which is the wrong perspective. She is perfect for normal people's perspective.  4951

I agree she looks fantastic...  I hope they continue with women like her rather than the models who have the body of a 12 year old boy....   JMO 4951

Sports Illustrated's
vaunted "Swimsuit Issue" hits newsstands Monday, and there's a whole
lot of buzz being generated about one of the bikini-clad models who
appears in it: Ashley Graham, who happens to be a size 16. She marks the
first inclusion of a plus-size model in the edition, though it's
important to note that Graham isn't part of the editorial but stars in an ad for swimwear brand swimsuitsforall (whose website features plenty more shots). As Marissa Payne puts it at the Washington Post, "Hey, small steps lead to big steps sometimes." 4951

The last time I checked, size 12 is on the "ladies" rack, right behind 4,6,8,10. Plus-size starts at 16, sometimes 14. But you can even find those sizes on the ladies rack half the time.
 
Being a size 12 because you have a 6'2" bone structure is very different from being 5'4" and wearing a size 12 because of (a little) extra weight. 4951

She's 6'2" and wears a size 12.  That is FAR from plus size. And all the hype over it makes it even worse.Horrible, horrible message to send women and especially young girls. 4951

@HotterThanYou: Agree, I do not want my daughter to see a picture like that and believe that is on the high side of normal.

@ProblemAgain: She's gorgeous, but I don't see size 16, even in that photo. I do believe the stories about size 12. Either way, I'm glad she is getting much deserved positive attention. Since most women are size 12 or larger, her photos more accurately represent them.
 
Meghan Tranor and Melissa McCarthy are other great celebs that are more realistic. 4951

@ForeCPA90: Exactly. My goodness. I'd still call her thin, especially taking her height into account.

Add to the whole issue of what's a normal size, the fact that clothing manufacturers are steadily making clothes BIGGER. Even the very small sizes are not what they use to be.
 
In High school, I was size 5/7 and that was very small and what they considered a junior size. Now a hundred years later, lol, I'm miraculously a size 0/2! I'm not any heavier now and in better shape. So I see no reason why according to the sizing they use now, I shrunk!! I still have my favorite pair of jeans and they fit really nicely still.
 
In an effort to make a heavier and heavier female population feel "happy", they are punking us. A size 14 now which is the supposed average was probably a 16 /18 years ago. 4951
