The introduction provides several synonyms in quotes, but there is no definition in the introduction or elsewhere in the article what all these synonyms mean exactly. (Whether the model has to be taller than average, or heavier than normal, or overweighted, or something else, to qualify as "plus-size".) --Alexey Muranov (talk) 07:34, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

== Size 12 is vague ==

This article claims that a plus-size model is "an individual from size 12 and above who is engaged primarily in modeling plus-size clothing." However, size 12 varies from manufacturer to manufacturer and from country to country, so it is a vague definition. Is there any widely agreed upon definition of what constitutes a plus-size model. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SnappyDragonPennyroyal (talk • contribs) 06:26, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

: The word that comes most immediately to almost everyone's mind is fat. This word should be used in the article. "Plus size" does not make sense. *What*, plus size? Plus designates the arithmetic operation of addition and is used to separate the two operands (the quantities being added together). Furthermore, were a neologism based on the word "plus" to be introduced the grammatically correct usage would be "plus sized", not "plus size". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.142.227.60 (talk) 03:19, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

::But does size 12 refers to the U.S. standard clothing size scale or what? --ZandDev 16:41, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
