Plus Size Mermaids

[AniaR]

Hey all, ive been asked to do a blog post on the topic of pluz sized mers! Linking to pages/blogs, and anything plus size mers have to share.
Does anyone have anything they can contribute that I can put in? Do you consider yourself a plus size mer? Im going to do a bit on Taylor the Plus Size Mermaid, do you know any great plus size blogs for mers or costumers/ cosplays? Anything would help! Thanks! <3

Also a quote from Miss Piggy:

"First, remember that style comes in all sizes, so the bigger you are, the more style you have. And second, draw attention to your best features by pointing at them, and conceal your flaws by sucker punching anyone who mentions them."

Most people see me as a plus-size mermaid, but technical I'm not. Pics of me in my gallery ;)

Yeah I"m pretty sure plus size is now anything size 12 and over now-a-days. But I have heard in high fashion and modeling it's anything over a size 6 (which is dumb, and ridiculous, and stupid.) Anyway I am a mermaid, and plus size, Is there anything specific that you want to ask?

[AniaR]

oh wow if it's over 6 then I am plus size too!

This person just gave me an ask on tumblr if I can share links and quotes of people etc. But I thought I'd do a whole write up!

wow. I guess I'm right on the edge of being plus-sized. Who'd've thunk it?

What I found on Google:


Plus size models:
Height: 5'8"-6'0"
Weight: varies
Measurements: varies, but must be proportionally 10 inches between measurements (example: 42-32-42).
Sizes: 10-18
Physical: proportional and toned, great skin, hair and teeth, nicely shaped legs.

Im a plus sized mermaid i guess you can say- im a size 15

but i carry it well, Im happy with my body- this is due to my thyroid issue, but i dont let me it get me down, why should it? You should be comfortable in the skin your in, I dont look at myself as fat and i make sure others see me for who i am, beautiful, fun and smart. You should know it plus sized or not your beautiful just the way you are!

I don't think I am a plus-sized mermaid, I wear a size 11. I only weigh 120 pounds, but I am also only 5ft 2 O_o

I guess I am a plus-sized mermaid, I wear a size 11

I think plus size is considered 14-28. What I posted before was the standard for plus size modeling, according to one website I came across.

You don't look like you wear size 15 at all!! I'm glad you have that kind of attitude. I wish more women were able to be comfortable with their body (me included). :)
