@meaggiepie

I don't know, but I'm excited! I am 5'4 and have hips & boobs-major bummer with some of the fashions out right now.

@covetchicago Chicago

size 12 and up is a pretty wide range of sizes..I wouldn't lump together. better to take on shapes than sizes, in my book

6:31PM Wed, July 28 2010

@alooscostello NEPA

curvy

6:31PM Wed, July 28 2010

@chicspace

do they need to be described? what do you call sizes 0-4, and sizes 6-10 (or whatever random size groupings one makes)?

6:32PM Wed, July 28 2010

@bklyncontessa

average?! normal?!

Real Girl Size.

@whatiwore

@covetchicago I'm actually doing shapes as well!

@amalia_PR Ottawa, Canada

hey Jess, what is the link to the store that makes the braille necklaces that you and the other delightful dozen have?

6:35PM Wed, July 28 2010

@whatiwore

That necklace is by Jess LC.

@Dianaelisarb Guayaquil-Ecuador

@rosecityqueen Pasadena, California

pleasantly plump! Is that rude? I always enjoyed this term :)

@whatiwore

@PSkisskiss thanks!

6:51PM Wed, July 28 2010

@scarls17 I'm in my head.

The majority? Hahaha.

@katiebrownhair philadelphia

love your blog, but please don't lump size 12 with "plus size" or "full figured" or whatever. 8 -12 are the most common sizes.

7:03PM Wed, July 28 2010

@noellehardesty

I'd like to describe myself as "average"... I have mothering hips, haha. :)

7:06PM Wed, July 28 2010

@whatiwore

That's exactly what I'm trying NOT to do! I'm looking for a way to describe an all over curvy woman.

7:08PM Wed, July 28 2010

@meowsk

My husband and I were discussing this last night and determined it all comes down to curves vs angles... both equally sexy

7:19PM Wed, July 28 2010

@katiebrownhair philadelphia

curvy isn't too bad. I do agree with most girls tho, its hard to be "grouped". maybe shapes are best - hourglass, pear, etc

7:23PM Wed, July 28 2010

@SonjavonFranck

Hmmm... That's hard! Vuluptious? Marilyn Monroes? Brickhouses? LOL! Guess it depends on how you described the under size 12's...

7:28PM Wed, July 28 2010

@kristenhavens Los Angeles

Gals size 12 and up: Average. Not a fun word but accurate!

7:29PM Wed, July 28 2010

@rachelgab

I'm a size 8-10 and am 5'9 and I describe myself as "statuesque" kind of like Joan Holloway :)

7:30PM Wed, July 28 2010

@cardamomaddict Kitchener, ON, Canada

Personally I'd rather see description of their silhouette: one could be a size 12 hourglass, pear, Doric column...

7:41PM Wed, July 28 2010

@marlabryan Memphis

As a retail manager, I call plus sizes "women's sizes". I'm a 16, however I don't get why people are so touchy about this.

7:52PM Wed, July 28 2010

@chicspace

totally agree with your size tweet :)

8:24PM Wed, July 28 2010

@ericajpolleys Houston, TX

Um, describe them how you'd describe people sz12 & below. Most people fit into basic shapes (hourglass, etc) regardless of sz.

8:39PM Wed, July 28 2010

@erinfinnerty Philadelphia.

average

8:43PM Wed, July 28 2010

@BeautifullyInv Somewhere in the Midwest, USA

I think you may be safer describing the body type (hourglass, apple, pear) etc. Most would say plus size, but some hate that term
