Week End Crazy Feature: Hot Women Who Are Larger Than A Size 12

Hot Women Who Are Larger Than A Size 12

Every day, we are inundated with images of slender models in the media. Yet, with the average dress size of women growing larger every year, we thought it might be nice to showcase some incredibly gorgeous women with more "real-life" figures.

Each of these ladies is curvy, voluptuous, and wears a size 12 or larger, and each one is guaranteed to get your heart racing just as much (or more!) as their slim model counterparts.

Tara Lynn

Tara Lynn is a plus-sized model who is best known for gracing the cover of the French Ellemagazine. The article (and Lynn's gorgeous photos, like the one pictured above) was about the changing trends of fashion to accommodate more "real-sized" women, and it caused quite a stir in the fashion world. Lynn is a UK size 18, which is about a 14/16 on U.S. sizing charts.
 

Justine Legault

With a round visage, fair features, and golden tresses, Justine Legault is the very embodiment of timeless beauty. A size 14 at 5'9 (36d-32-46), Justine has appeared in Coup de pouce and Moi & cie magazines, along with a five-page editorial in the August 2008 issue of French Châtelaine. She is represented by Muse Models NY, Scoop Montreal, Heffner Seattle, Milk Management London, Dominique Brussels and Modellink in Sweden. We look forward to seeing more of this curvaceous goddess in the near future.
