Even so...size 12 in NO WAY represents the true issues "plus size" women have to consider or endure when shopping for clothes. It's rediculous.

My wife is a size 20 and I find her very attractive. I can't understand my daughter who is 12 y.o. and a little under-weight -- she is always complaining that she is fat?:(

Just pointing out that the sizes have changed since the Marilyn Monroe days. :)

It's also not surprising to see a 12 being labled "plus" size. The typical model looks like a walking skeleton. It's really disturbing seeing these women paraded around as though that's how women should look...:(
