Plus-size clothing should be worn by plus-size models so that the consumers can see more of what the clothing would look like on them before they bought them. It wouldn't make any sense to purchase a plus-size outfit that is shown being worn by someone in a size 0; you wouldn't know what it truly looked like.

I think that it is a good idea to have plus-size models instead of always showing petite models walking the run way.

It would be the same to have a plus-size model modeling an outfit that is suppose to be worn by someone with a more petite build, it probably would not look the same and therefore it wouldn't make any sense to do this.

Think about how many more people would purchase the outfit if it was worn by someone that is around their size.

When I am shopping for clothes on-line or in a magazine or catalog, I always try to find figures that have a similar body shape that looks like mine so that I will know what it would look like on me. This would make more sense than to have one that is either way smaller than me or a lot bigger, I wouldn't know what it would actually look like on me if I looked at models like this.

What would you do if you were looking into buying an outfit that was worn by someone who's body figure was nothing like yours?.
