What we don't know is if that picture has been photoshopped.

I wanna be that plus size!

From the OP's photo, she could be a plus size as she photo'd from the side. She may have side hips and she has a larger bust line than runway models. She may be larger than the real swimsuit model types too. The other photos of gals that have been posted are the plus sized women - , no argument there.

Real fit models/runway models are something like a hanger so that the fabric of the designs just hang on them as they walk.

I agree with Love Roses. The model may be more of a pear shape because it is difficult to see her shape in that picture. The other models look morbidly obese.

I wear a Small, Medium or Large in QVC sizing, or a regular 10 or 12, all depending on the garment, cut, manufacturer, etc. And my middle hasn't looked like that in 35 years! Or my shoulders and upper arms! I'm not a plus size, and I'm not 6+ feet tall, and I probably weigh at least 25 pounds more than she does. So how in this world does that make her a "plus size"? She looks great, whatever size she is, but be real!

There are so many beautiful plus size women in this world, with overall better figures than mine... why won't any of these designers just be honest and stop trying to fit the American woman into their "designer molds"! Women can be beautiful no matter what their size - celebrate it!

She's not a twig, so she is "plus size" ? ? UNBELIEVEABLE!

Yikes....don't Google Image 'Myla Dalbesio'...NSFW. When you deal with larger sizes, you tend to have more T/A...and making it harder to do any sort of runway & fit to show off the clothing. They eventually find their niche via pinup/plus size print/fetish modeling, but any sort of movement modeling? Not likely...unless it's a 'edge' designer like Gauliter or Westwood.

LOL, you know I had to look...

I think some of those racier shots might be connected to her performance art. (Her bio says she is a performance artist and spiritual healer.)

I wouldn't say she's plus size. Judging from this photo that the o/p posted, she looks a lot like me. I'm a 6/8. So I'm either missing something, or I have a skewed view of things. I know in the modeling world, that's huge, but in the real world it's average.

Calvin Klein has always hated women larger than a size two.

Idiot.
