its from the uk. "fit" there means hot, not physically fit

size 18 left, size 8 right

25% of British women are size 18 or larger, new research reveals. That figure is rising - up 45% in just five years. While the fashion industry may have reluctantly accepted it can no longer ignore this increasingly lucrative market, consumers want it to do more.

The findings by top market researchers Mintel revealed the most common size in the UK is size 12 with 31% of women buying this size, followed by size 14. Over 10 million women, or nearly 40% of the female population, wear size 16 or more while 6.2 million women are size 18 or bigger.

The market for so-called plus size fashion is worth around £3.8 billion a year, according to Mintel's calculations. But retailers are failing to seize the opportunity, it found.

Over half of women who are size 18 or more reported that not enough shops offered a range of choices to cater for different sizes. Tellingly, over 40% of the same women believe plus-size clothes tend to be less fashionable than smaller sizes.

Senior Analyst as Mintel Tamara Sender said, "Rising levels of obesity in the UK mean that plus-size consumers are increasing and these shoppers are looking for improved choice in plus-size clothing and more fashionable garments.

"Given the numbers... these consumers can no longer be considered a minority or niche sector and retailers of all types of clothing need to wake up to the growth potential of this market."

a bit exaggerated but a good read nonetheless

Firstly, that's irrelevant, because both meanings are clearly wrong. Secondly, I LIVE in the UK and sincerely doubt a professional company like DOVE would use a slang street word in their advertising.

Imagine Raf Simons in size XXXL lol

Obese whores walking round in Raf. Nobody would even want it anymore.

You just had to do it OP. You knew /fa/ would take this chance to don their fedoras.

I wouldn't mind if she looked like that after proper diet and exercise but the truth is most people don't so fat acceptance is just retarded.

>>7016952
wut.

Laughing my ass off

I would still mind. If you have a good diet, exercise and you're still fat (AKA no woman ever*), you need to try harder.

come on, don't blame the clothes

>models have been the same size since the sixties
>b-b-but muh objectification
>a-average w-women

Average =/= normal. It may be average for a woman to be slightly overweight, that doesn't make it normal or healthy.

Fuck you Dove.

>>7016952
Sickening.

The more we encourage this kind of bullshit the more women think it's fine to be overweight and unhealthy.

The more we see obese as average people think just being overweight is slim.

Do you ever see men with with saggy man boobs and an overflowing stomach classed as "average" or even "curvy"

Yet women complain they have it so hard.

I just really detest fat obese people, if you want to get strong and muscular it takes years of hard effort and great diet, but losing weight, well, you don't have to do a fucking thing. Eat like three 500 calorie meals a day and you wont go hungry and you will lose weight.

Fat acceptance means over consumption of the words food supply and pressure on hospital services. People can't work so have to claim welfare just from being fat. It makes me ill when there is genuine people with illnesses and these selfish fucking disgusting pigs can't stop for a day stuffing their faces with junk.

>it's in my genes I'm fat

Uh huh, so everyone in the rich western countries with an abundance of junk food seem to have these genes while a 100 years ago they didn't exist and coincidentally people in countries with less junk food shit seem to not possess any of these genes... seems legit.

FUCK I HATE FAT SWEATY STINKING OBESE SLOBS.

Every girl I've ever met who was overweight always used to say she liked curvy women who had shape. But each one of them given the chance of being slim in an instant would say yes when I got to know them.

>t may be average for a woman to be slightly overweight, that doesn't make it normal
>doesn't make it normal
It does by definition.

>>7016952
Dove doesn't give a shit. It just knows by posting a fat ugly woman as beautiful there's a huge market of fat ugly women who will eat this shit up (literally!) and make Dove money.

>>7018532
Yeah. Unilever owns Dove and Axe/Tag which makes the most hypocritically misogynistic ads ever

But women have ZERO willpower so to them being slim is some magical unachievable fantasy instead of being something they'd ever consider achieving with a diet.

It's one thing if they aren't stick skinny, but they shouldn't be fucking fat

I have some fat friends who are great but goddamnit

>its soooo hot x1000/day
>my feet are killing me
>you're lucky you're so skinny (lol)
>*mouth breathing*
>*heavy mouth breathing while shoveling food into mouth

That last one grosses me out the most

Do girls even lift?

>>7019988
I have friends that are exactly this also.

It becomes glaringly obvious after knowing them a while they they have zero portion control. Extra large coffee drinks, large combos with everything, general gluttony like that.

I think they just don't realise how many calories are in just one of those, or one single meal combo from McDonalds or whatever.

>>7016964
Sad thing is, we all know exactly what's going to happen.

The nature of business says that if there is demand in the marketplace, someone will shift into gear to supply to that demand in order to turn a profit. Instead of working to improve themselves, these people will be catered to and the complacency will only prove to further their decline.
