16/18 is considered 1X

Then they show the fashions worn by stick girls so the big ones can't get a real look at the style and such.

I get so angry about this topic, I won't get started.

Yeah. It looks like the model needs to eat a cookie...

It's not about the models in these ads. It's about the size of the clothes. They don't fit the models; the clothes have plenty of room.

This is a bit off-topic, but I have my own beef with Lane Bryant. I've been on their mailing list for about 5 or 6 years now and have done EVERYTHING in my power - to no avail - to get them to stop sending me stuff. I have no idea how I got on their list - I have never even set foot in one of their stores. Are they stupid, or what? Using a size 0 model to try and market to the size 14 and up demographic? And all the while bombarding little old admittedly way-too-skinny me with unwanted junkmail?
Sheesh!

I have a size 28" weight an am considered a plus size. (That's okay though, my proportions at the moment are almost exactly the same as Marilyn Monroe's were and I think she was sexy. Therefor I am lol.)
