It is hard to guess someone's size. I can only compare to what I know...myself. She looks like a size 6. So as the article says, not a "regular sized" model, but certainly not a plus-sized model.

Aren't most plus sized models around a size 12-14? Yes, they're at the smaller end of the size range for the group they're selling their modeled clothing to, but so are the size 2 models that sell clothing to the "non-plus sized" women.

Yes, I thought she looked to be in the 12-14 range. Which is by no means "big", but is considered on the smaller end of Plus-sized.

In one article, it said she's a size 8. Another one I saw said she's size 10. She looks like a 10 to me.

Yeah, me too -- a size 10. Her stomach has contours from good muscle tone. Definitely not a 14 IMO.

Huffpo did a spread on Plus Size models in 2012, a snippet from there

Among the multitude of fashion blogs crowding the web, it's nice to see one one gain popularity for showcasing plus-size fashion. Munster, the brains behind the blog The Plus Size Life, poses for the site wearing bathing suits, body-con dresses and other enviable styles. Munster proves that you don't have to be rail-thin to look great in trendy clothing.

HuffPost was so impressed by Munster, we asked her participate in our "One Size Doesn't Fit All" live segment in November 2012. You can check it out on Munster's blog here!

She's plus-sized for the modeling works, and, while that is sad, it's a fact. She's a beautiful girl, and I'm glad she had the opportunity.

How ridiculous. That lovely, trim young woman is "plus size" only in the mind of a designer who is accustomed to working with anorexics. Those of us who really are plus size have bodies like that only in our dreams.

If this is considered plus size, I don't see how she and the OP model can be considered in the same arena.

Oh Calvin!......Karl Lagerfeld is really the worst when it comes to hating on women by size.......but it IS the fashion culture........ever watch Project Runway when the task is to dress "real women" who wear sizes 8, 10 or 12?.........holy moly......the designers go on mega meltdown.....horrors!........anyway, mention of Calvin Klein always reminds me of the Seinfeld episode when Kramer becomes their underwear model......."Calvin" exclaims, "his buttocks are sublime!".....Lol

People in the fashion world are delusional.

Plus is size 18 on up.

Granted she doesn't look as thin as most models whose bones show but she's not a plus size.

Again DELUSIONAL fashion world!

This model is NO plus size. She is very beautiful, she seems more rounded then younger models.

I bet she wears a size 4 to 6, in the modeling world that probably is a plus size.
