Typical Junior vs. Plus Size

The concept of  "plus size" clothing is completely horrifying me today. Don't get me wrong, I am a curvy girl that needs to wear these kinds of clothes, but the looks are horrific. Yes, there are curves on my body, yes I have a fuller frame, but don't put me in some cheap, unflattering clothes. Give me lines to play with, dresses to explore, and confidence to feel free in. According to Cosmopolitan, plus size doesn't start until size 8. (Pardon the language) but that is a bunch of bullshit. That could make girls even as low as size 6 think "if you want to be considered, you have to be a 4 or less." We are held to unrealistic standards today, and that NEEDS to change. We need to teach the next generation that curves are beautiful, and that you are worth it, no matter what size. We need to teach people that curves are okay, and that not all women are going to be twigs. Designers, just get rid of "plus size." We are all beautiful, and that term is derogatory.

What do you think about curves? do you like them? sound off in the comments section if you think its okay to have curves, or to be skinny.
