I think Dahlal deserves accolades for having curvy models in general. Dahlal's other models are like 5'0" and size 6 or less -- petite but very curvy. You might think that's very small, but none of them are anywhere close to "skinny". And just consider that most fashion supermodels are a size 6 (or less) but would be closer to 6' tall. So size 6 and 5' tall is much curvier and realistically proportioned than what we see in the fashion industry.

This is what Dahlal told me...
For your information, she's a size 16-18 and is about 5'10".
For my opinion, I can see both sides of it. As a tall girl with an hourglass figure, I can barely fit into your standard bedlah. Most of the ones sold on here are too small for me. There are even some companies that want me to pay extra for my size. So I do like having this tall, curvaceous muscular model to look at - as it is a pretty good indicator of how I'd look in a costume. It's also nice to see it held up as beautiful. Before this, I only had Xena as my example. :-)
However, for the other type of plus-sized (say, size 16-18 and 5'2), their previous model was probably a more accurate depiction and they might not feel that the new model is a real plus size.
