Christian SirianoWhen you're an adult designer, you're either running a business or you're helping someone else's business run. Either way, that's a lot of pressure.

And the models in the show who are "plus size," they're not in a special place, they're not wearing differently styled outfits. They're just beautiful girls who are in the show, like normal. Everything's normal. That's how it should be!

We get a dress on a model, and it's our first time seeing what the dress really looks like on a woman's body.
