I agree you can never tell anything from the pictures, but I also agree with lovelygamer that it's just wrong.
If they're going to label the plus size shorts as a separate item - not just a different size of the same model - then they should show a picture of the plus size shorts, which those obviously are not. This seems like, oh, I don't know, using a picture of a blonde Nordic type wearing makeup appropriate to her skin tone, to illustrate a line of makeup marketed to Black women. It's offensive, IMO.
I'd write to Terry. It's not like there aren't any plus size models out there looking for work.
