plus-size

Dalbesio made it clear that Calvin Klein never labeled her “plus size,” nor treated her differently than the other waifish models.

Different fashion websites say a “plus size model” is a size eight or bigger, while others say it is 12 or higher.

In brief defense of Calvin Klein, the fashion designer never called Delbasio “plus-size”—at least not exactly.

It can be bad enough to have your clothes described in the decidedly unsexy way as “plus-size.”

In the weird world of fashion, that means she is deemed ‘plus-size.’
