Well, at least Victoria's Secret didn't list any outfits under a Fat Girls section of its catalog...
But the lingerie company is still in major trouble today after coming out with advertisements that depict models who supposedly possess the "perfect body."
Granted, the campaign is really in support of an ideal bra "body," considering how the photo below touts a "perfect comfort demi push-up."
But it's not hard to see how critics could interpret this image as implying that the women featured in it have the ideal figure... and they've let their feelings on that message be felt via social media.
"What gives Victoria's Secret the right to say what a "perfect" body is?? Stop body shaming!!" wrote one Twitter user, while a 22-year old named Frances Black has started a petition at Change.org.
It asks Victoria's Secret to apologize; to alter the wording of the ad; and to refrain from using similar language in the future.
Victoria's Secret is yet to comment on the controversy, though the brand is no stranger to scandal:
It did apologize in 2012 when a model walked the runway in Native American headgear and it's been known to employ some really terrible uses of Photoshop in its ads.
