Jordin Sparks: Tips for Plus-Size Girls
November 26, 2008 in Body Type and Clothes, Jordin Sparks by Versus
A while back, Jordin (who is 5’11” and a US size 12, according to most sources) gave some tips to plus-size girls on how to dress for their shape. The tips are a little old, but Jordin gives some great advices, definitely worth posting. Here they are:
1. Baggy clothes can make you look bigger. You want something that hugs you in all the right places — just not too much, where it’s too tight and you’re hanging out all over!”
2. I have a tiny waist in proportion to the rest of my body, so I like to wear corsety things that hug my waist.
3. Darker types slim your legs down. A lighter wash jean makes everything look bigger.
4. V-necks give you an elongated neck. A crew neck can look like it’s choking you!
5. Dainty necklaces are nice. Chunky ones cut (your figure) up.”
Im sorry but this is bigger than a size 12! She probably a 14\16.
So what if she is!? She still looks georgous
I don’t know…maybe she is a size 12. Everyone’s body is different so a size 12 can look bigger on one person than another. She is so pretty though. She makes plus-size gerogeous.
She needs to lose weight. You have no excuse Jordan, you have the money for personal trainers and personal chefs…what are you waiting for, clogged arteries?
There is nothing wrong with her weight. Just becuase she’s not hollywood skinny that doesn’t mean she needs to lose pounds. You’re fabulous if you’re skinny, and you’re fabulous if you’re fuller. And the dress she’s wearing perfectly hugs her figure. If she chooses to lose weight (which I don’t think she needs to), then she should to be healthy not skinny.
Do you want her to be a stick figure??? She is 5’11″ and has a large body frame. Oh wait…I see…you want her to be like those anorexic stick thin models who stick their fingers down their throat every five minutes because they are afraid of curves. Hello….wake up…again..I repeat…she is 5’11″ and has a larger body frame. If she were any thinner she would be a bobble head…she is within a healthy weight range for someone her height and body type. She doesn’t have to be stick thin to be healthy…and YES, this is coming from a tall (6’0″) curvy size 12 woman….WHO IS HEALTHY and IS within a healthy weight range for MY HEIGHT and body type…and isn’t afraid of curves unlike most of you women who are obsessed with being stick figures.
she looks so good
i think its her arms that make her appear so “fat”. in todays society, she’s the norm. everyone wants to see a girl with meat on her legs and thighs yet not anywhere else. =\ people suck.
I think she looks fine. She doesn’t look any bigger than usual, she’s actually looking a little smaller, but I think it’s because she’s maturing into her adult body now:P
And we can’t forget that she’s 5’11″(and med-large framed), if she lost more then a couple of clothing sizes, she would be looking pretty ill.
i like her but not in that dress
good for her! and for not being a typical ano!
Wow! This girl is an example for those of us who will never be flesh-covered bones. It is all in the attitude and you know what? People are changing their view on out-of-date ultra-thin beauty standards.
Hey hipsters!!! Heroin chic is passé. Plump, happy, and trauma-free is the way to go so you can actually focus on your INNER beauty and INTELLIGENCE instead of trying to perfect a biodegradable package.
Good for you Jordin!
not class A hot
I love her huge thighs, but she is not fat at all. She has just got big thighs. Nelly Furtado has just as fat thighs and she is not considered fat. Why is that?
At first when i looked at this, i thought, omg, ew, she is so airbrushed in her music videos, but then i looked again, and she really is quite slim, if you look closely, it’s just her arms and her thighs that are making her look bigger.
if you forgot those and just looked at her body shape, she looks just slightly bigger than average.
Hooray! Boobs, thighs, and hips. Lo and behold, she’s a real natural WOMAN!
Who cares if she’s a size 16?
You are an assclown
JORDIN SPARKS IS THE MOST SEXIEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD!!!… I LOVE ME SOME CURVY PLUS-SIZE WOMEN!!! MISS SPARKS THICKNESS IS SO HOTT AND WOULD PUT BABIES IN HER!!!… BECAUSE THICKNESS IS IN!!! ALL HAIL JORDIN SPARKS QUEEN OF THE “ASHLEY STEWART”…CUZ EVERY REAL MEN LOVE IT!!!
Here, here, I agree 100%. She is hot, hot, hot
People can say what they want but I don’t buy that
unhealthy part or that she is fat. She is big, but fat
people aren’t curvy. At 38-27-48 to Jessica Alba at
34-24-34, Jordin Sparks definitely is curvier than
Jessica Alba. Men like Jessica Alba because she is
small and feminine(not unhealthy either). Jordin
Sparks has a totally different bone structure than
a Jessica Alba. With that larger bone structure of
Jordin, it’s only natural that more muscular meat
(not fat) and curves come as well. Women can
vary greatly in shapes and sizes. A 90 or 95 lb
woman can be as sexy as a 160 to 170 lb woman,
but obviously, their talents might differ. No one
would claim a Jessica Alba to be unhealthy if she
won the Boston marathon but the same could be
said for a Jordin Sparks if she won the olympic
shotput. Jordin Sparks is bigger and stronger
than a Jessica Alba, but a Jessica Alba might be
quicker and faster. Neither are unhealthy. Jordin
is tall and curvy. Jessica, a bit shorter, is lean and
thin. Small men like small women and big men like
big women.
I don’t think her tips are odd at all. It’s definitely good advice. Especially the one about not wearing big baggy clothes. Too many women that are insecure with their bodies end up looking worse by wearing big baggy, or too tight and snug clothing. The correct size can do wonders.
I think Jordin looks beautiful in that yellow dress.
