    This is very true. A lot of women still feel like the "real" size or plus size models don't represent them. They want to see a size 24 in ads. And in reality, that doesn't happen very often.

    Crazy…I never thought about it. But, I guess I've always loved seeing real women in the ads.

    As the larger end of plus, I get a lot of great feedback from women who are larger and want to see larger women in ads. As a model, I get into this conversation quite a bit. I love seeing women of all different shapes and sizes in ads. I think it's great! They don't have to be my size, but they understand the same struggles most times.

    You almost just have to laugh… Plus size girls have been on the down side of fashion for how long? And then the second they get their foot in the door someone has to whip out some "research" which validates pushing normal sized women out of the spotlight…

    K. Stupid.

    I have not really thought about it, i do like that dove use "real" women in their advertising. But then i do get annoyed when plus size women in magazines are a size 12 or 14. Its like they are willing to show "plus size" but only from one angle. I think everyone should be represented.

    These findings really surprise me. Personally, I'm a fan of seeing plus size models, especially for clothing. I think a lot of people don't embrace their size/curves, which causes the emotions the study showed. I'm not a psychologist, but that's my opinion.

    all i know is i want to see more size 24 models out there!

  • BBM

    that reminds me … i remember when b&lu used voluptuous models back in the day … good times!

    I agree I want to see size 24 models hitting the runway size 12-14 is small in the plus size world…
