It says she’s a size 14! When is a size 14 plus size? Even a 16?
The excerpt says she's a 16.
Look, I'm not bashing her. She isn't morbidly obese, and she's pretty. But sizes 14 and 16 are specified as "large" on size charts...16 is sometimes extra-large. I think a 14 is for a 34-inch waist. That's not huge, but it is bigger than normal.
8-10 is a medium 12-14 is a large 16 is XL 16 and over can be found in the big ladies section.
