Myla Dalbesio is a size 10. Shes smaller than the average woman size 14 but larger than a sample size. Because she doesnt fit into a size 0 or 2, she has been called plus size, typically a size 12 and up. But looking at the 27-year-old model, who just debuted as the face of Calvin Kleins Perfectly Fit campaign, she obviously doesnt fit in with the skinny girls but she certainly isnt shopping in the plus size section and her representing the category is perplexing to many people.
Lara Stone, Jourdan Dunn, and Ji Hye Park are the other models featured alongside Dalbesio and while shes larger than them, and comparatively to her peers, shes just the biggest in the group, but not necessarily big enough to be considered plus size. On Twitter, Jacqueline Ford calls the categorization a joke, Katrine Reichert writes that its fat shaming, Donna L. Bridges says its a visual paradox, and Susan E. Sponberg asks wheres the plus?
