Have u not got any plus size models to actually show someones bodyshape?? Like its all well and good on a twig but for the rest of the population who arent a size nothing it be nice to see a proper woman in the dresses

@SleepyroxyPJs I apologise in that case. I didnt mean to offend thin people. But I wasnt talking about naturally thin people either. Im not very good at phrasing things and i didnt mean to say that thin women arent proper women. Models tend to be disturbingly thin bar the odd few who are naturally thing the rest not as much. Anyway again im sorry if i offended you or anyone else.

Thin women are beautiful. Larger women are beautiful too. 'Nuff said.

@SleepyroxyPJs He/She was wording it wrongly. the point is, there are no women on the larger side in this video.

Yes, many women are naturally skinny such as yourself, but many are naturally large. And the larger women are not represented in this video, and that wouldn't be a BAD thing if it were not a video about "body types".

I can't decide they're all beautiful!

@ThisKittenHasClaw I understand the reason for you anger but what I find offensive is that you called thin women twigs, said the dresses should be shown on proper women, (how does being skinny not make you a proper woman?) and saying they are disturbingly thin. How is that not offensive to thin women? I'm naturally extremely skinny, no matter what I eat and to people like me I think its a bit harsh. I completely agree that all types of women should have modeled this but its the way you said it..

@kittieheartsXI101 then it had nothing to do with body types as it only shows one type of body disturbingly thin! i was just making a point is all.

[ThisKittenHasClaw]

@SleepyroxyPJs i dont see how im being offensive? but if your going to make a video of dresses for your body type then u want to put it on different body types i can walk into a shop to see a dress on a hanger and i understand thats the industry they are in but its sick in this day and age that its ok to be so thin

[kittieheartsXI101]

@ThisKittenHasClaw they're using clips from the runway what do you expect? Most popular designer use twig women anyways

[SleepyroxyPJs]

@ThisKittenHasClaw  well that was offensive ^^
