I saw David Hasselhof's daughter on some show last week, she is a plus model, size 10/12 She said anything past 6 is plus size in the model world.

Size 10 being considered plus size by modeling agencies and high fashion designers is nothing new. It's always been this way. There was a time when the high end/couture "designers" refused to make clothing above size 10. Of course they learned that size 14 money is as green as size 4, so many have come off of that restriction and now make their clothing in larger sizes. That said in the modeling business size 10/12 is still what agents are asked to send when a plus is requested for a job. A size 14 model has very limited working opportunities for clothing, so places like QVC and HSN who request that size for their plus models have been a blessing of regular work to the ones they employ.

At 5/7 and 127 lbs I am a plus sized???? in my size 10 jeans. Good grief that is really frustrating. I wonder what I would have been considered as at 225 lbs a couple of years ago. I worked really hard to get it off and I will not by any means consider myself a plus size. Excuse the rant.

Maria was on the Quacker Factory show yesterday. Angel said both her and Maria were 1x.

the Op should measure herself and then look at the size gude posted on each item under CLICK HERE to see what size she needs. How on earth can you judge by the models -they can be your size but have larger or smaller bust or hips or waist than you do.

Congrats on your weight loss. I don't know how you could even be a size 10 now? It seems like at your height and weight you'd be a 6!

When hosts ask particular sizes of models, I find it very helpful. It helps you to see if maybe something is running small or large. I also like it when they tell if something is fitted or relaxed. With all the confusion of sizes, I think it helps tremendously. I particularly like when Meredith (petite model) is on as I can always go by how something is fitting her and size, length and fit. Of course I have no relation with all the tall, thin models, except for length.

Yikes, I am a size 7/8 junior, 116 lbs so I guess I am a plus size gal. YIKES

Huh? Why would anyone use a model as size guide????? That makes no sense at all. Models are there to show us what the clothes look like on a certain body TYPE.
