A “plus-size” feature in Seventeen’s January 1998 issue captures a moment in the magazine’s fashion history. The page reflects how teen publications presented clothing and style to young readers at the time, while its terminology also recalls how sizing and body representation were discussed in the 1990s. Looking back, the feature offers a point of comparison with today’s broader conversations about fashion inclusivity, size ranges and visibility in media. It is a small archival snapshot of changing attitudes toward style and body image.
