Average

I'm sure many of you big girls out there would be surprised (as I was) to learn the average size of an American woman is 14! Much closer to plus size than a zero or two...so why don't we have more "real" models?

Another little known fact is that although size 14 is the most common size, size 14 is the LEAST purchased by many manufacturers. No wonder the only clothes that go on clearance are zeros and twos...because the majority of us are much larger.

This beautiful woman pictured is what most "average" women look like, yet the average fashion model weighs 23% less than her...
