Last week I was very glad to see that my autumn/winter simply be catalogue had turned up, although you can look at the collection online, sometimes only a glossy catalogue will do…
Along with my catalogue was a tiny little guide introducing you to the models for simply be and particularly focussing on Crystal Renn who obviously is the most famous of them all. But most interesting of all was that simply be also provided the models measurements.
I found it rather intriguing that all of them had a waist of about 30 inches and all were around a size 14 -16. I am amazed that they all constitute 'plus size' but from their measurements they all seem so tiny (especially in comparsion to me) and normal. They are normal women, yet they model plus size clothes.
Something feels wrong here!
This drives me nuts. That's the size I used to be when people told me I was too thin (at 5'11").
'Plus size' seems to mean anything above size zero these days.
