Examples of plus-size in a Sentence

  1. Melissa McCarthy:

    Seventy percent of women in the United States are a size 14 or above, and that's technically 'plus-size,' so you're taking your biggest category of people and telling them, 'You're not really worthy.' I find that very strange, i also find it very bad business. It doesn't make a lot of sense numbers-wise. It's like, if you open a restaurant and you say, 'We're primarily gonna serve people that don't eat.'.

  2. Brittany Gibbons:
