fuller figured women should wear anything they want. I am not sure I would wear dresses that tight no matter what size I was.

Crystal,you go girl! You hit it when you said women come in all sizes.Times are changing and it's you and this generation of plus size modles leading the charge. However,don't forget the first generation girls like Idrea,Connie Peach B.Courtney Leigh,Cindy Michaels,Kelly Rae Matheney and BBW Founder Carole Shaw who paved the way.

I think it's wonderful to use more normal sized models (Crystal Renn is, in my opinion, normal size, not plus size) but they should have them model clothes that are appropriate to their body type. Skin tight dresses don't flatter women with extra padding.

Tasteless what you put those normal girls in those too tight clothes. Use SOME judgement! Gorgeous girls but anyone can see no matter the size those tight clothes are outrageous to start with whether skinnies, heavy or whatever. What a mess! It's about time we women demand normalcy, take it on! Ban designers will just brain wash the next generation. Healthy not wealthy.... promote positive images!

It sounds nice to say we accept all sizes, and I have been plus size, and I have been skinny. Believe me, Crystal looks hideous in that too-tight dress, and there are many dresses that would look marvelous on her, but this is a ploy to make you accept the fat girl. I hated being fat, I hated being slightly overweight, and I loved being thin. It is all an excuse to not exercise and watch your diet. Sorry, the clothes LOOK better on you and you feel better and are healthier when you are thin. Not emaciated, but thin.

Fuller figured models can be very very sensual. My preference has always been towards a fuller figured woman, but there are clothes that are just NO NO. Curvey fitting is fine, but women dont go for the skin tight stuff, get away from what the skinny minis do, work your curves, legs, breasts, thighs, etc... Use your heads women go for the glory with tasteful things, put the heels on, let your hair compliment your faces and pick styles that will enhance your shape, not ones that show your "a big girl"


Crystal so could have looked better, poor choice in dresses, makeup and hair, lack of smile. Crystal has killer legs, but you cal almost see she is wearing slimming panties under the dresses, the lines cut too crisply mid stomacch and upper thighs by the hip..

I am happy to see that the modeling industry is attempting to embrace the "normal" sized gals. But the outfits Crystral Renn is wearing in these photos would not be flattering on any woman. They are way too tight. Even a skinny gal would resemble a hot dog. Something more flowing and feminine would be more flattering.

I agree with everyone else! The model is normal sized but those dresses are just way too tight! They must have been 2 or 3 sizes too small! Why would the designer think that was in any way attractive?

Where are the plus size models???!!!

the pato designers were out to give large women a bad name and make them look bad.it's what they do.it's all they know.treat them with benign neglect.

The women are not hideious. The designs are. Now that they have a real live woman willing to walk down the runway maybe the designers will design something appropriate for them instead of clingy knit dresses.

Yes, she is definitely a plus size model. She's not obese, but she is clearly overweight. I guess "overweight" is "normal" these days, but must we go from one extreme to the other in models? From twigs to cows? The clothes are unattractive to begin with, but no one fat should wear anything that tight. It looks like they've squeezed a size 14 woman into a size 4 dress. But hey, I'm glad that everyone thinks that pig is a "normal" size...that means my size 8 ass is "slim."

those clothes are too tight. You don't wanna show your fat, but make yourself look good. Skinny people don't wear tight fittting clothes all the time.
