V Magazine pit a regular size model v. a plus size model in the same outfits with similar styling. Both are the same height 5'9" (inch taller than me), with the following measurements:
reg: 32/24/34
plus: 36/31/41
(me: 36/27/38 - as I remember, could be adjusted for the holiday)
Fairly interesting because the plus size in no way really large in real life, but I think even my judgement is so skewed from constantly presented skinny girls that she looks larger. Pretty fucked up. But that being said, I think she still rocks these outfits just as well, and esp in the first two, arguably better. Which leads to the question: why always so skinny if it really doesn't make that substantial of a difference?
