    Hm.
    Big in whose opinion? I think it's all relative.
    I'm a size 12 right now, and I feel pretty chunky. That being said, my BFF is a size 16, and I've never thought she looked THAT big. Bigger than me, maybe, but not my definition of BIG.

    But there are a lot of considerations, too. I'm 12, but I don't have an ***. Literally, it's like an ironing board. Whereas my BFF has a ghetto booty, and huge boobs... which shove her up into that size 16 category.

    I'd say over size 16 is starting to get big. 12-14 is just a little bit chubby. I see sizes 8-10 as society's version of "normal"... and then anything 6 or below, you're "thin."

    I think height is also a big contributing factor nevertheless...
    Size 4/6 - skinny
    Size 8/10 - normal
    Size 12+ - large

    Yup, I'd say size 12 is when it starts getting into the "large" sizes.

    At my thinnest I was 5'1" and a size 6. That was ages ago, mind, but I remember having some curves even at that size. And I would definitely say what constitutes a "large" size also depends on the person, as is a common theme throughout the thread. Not going to nitpick on specific heights/sizes here, cause I'm not trying to offend anyone, but a person who wears one size and is above average height and say, someone who is average or slightly below average height, may look different in a certain size.
