Possibly because it does also come in smaller sizes that we aren't carrying yet and this is the photo that the lingerie company has deemed to be a representation of this piece. Or because the lingerie company is going by the ridiculously skewed thought that plus size models should be a size 10 at the most. There are a whole host of possibilities.

I wish that they'd use plus size models, too.

Sometimes it has to do with budgeting. They need more sales to budget another model for the shoot. Or jack the price.

If you check out Fantasy Lingerie's site, they offer those in "one size fits most" too, which I'd guess are the ones being modeled.

I think we get kind of spoiled by awesome companies like Coquette and DreamGirl that are helpful enough to supply 2 different photos for post items. Think about regular clothing- flipping through the pages of any fashion catalog or website, you almost never see two different photos for the straight and plus sized versions of an item.

This is a great point. I think they should show plus size models if it only comes in plus size!

I agree they should show alternative pics of both skinny and plus to give you an idea of how it will look.
