Fast fashion brand Missguided has come under fire for using slim models to illustrate its plus-size range. Items like the Plus Size Peach Missguided Oversized 90’s Joggers (£24) and the Plus Size Black Rib Buckle Shoulder Bodysuit (£15) sit in the plus-size section, but are modelled by size 8 women. This hasn’t sat particularly well with people on social media, with some worried this could contribute to body dysmorphia. One posted: “Someone please explain to me what about these pictures is even ‘plus size’??? This is what is causing damage to girls.
