Plus-size clothing is generally considered a women's size 18 and beyond. “Missy” or “straight” sizes range from 00–16/18, XXS–XXL whereas plus sizes range from 12W–28W, 0X–4X and greater. You might think plus sizes are just extended straight sizes, but guess again.
Sizes range from 0-2 (extra small) to 14-16 (extra large). Smaller sizes are usually petites, and larger sizes usually found in women's or plus size departments. Remember that each clothing brand will have their own sizing guidelines, so watch carefully to ensure you are buying the correct size.

Generally, yes, most people I know around a 14 I'd consider overweight but that doesn't mean I don't also think they're beautiful. Of course it's overweight. But then most people are these days, so it's normal. Under/healthy/overweight are factual categories based on weight and height, not dress size.
US size 12–14 is usually considered “Large” and some brands do start “plus sizes” at 12.
A youth extra large shirt is wider and shorter proportionally than an adult small shirt. If you are on the fence about whether to order a youth extra large or an adult small, it is probably best to order the adult small shirt.
If you wear an adult small women's, this youth large should be just right or even a little big. I usually wear a women's medium, and my youth XL fits me just fine.

If she has a jacket on, wait until she takes it off. Look on the collar tag for her size, when she's not around of course. If she is not easily embarrassed, strike up a conversation about clothing. Mention your size somehow and more then likely she will offer hers too.
"What is your body size?" would be better, and is still more natural than "What is your body figure?" Also, "What is your dress size?" is a common enough question among women (if they know each other well enough to ask about such things).

The Average Size for Women in America
The average size of an American woman has historically been reported as a size 14. The clothing industry somewhat took this into account and adjusted its sizes. Though, most labels didn't even do that; the majority of clothing lines still sell up to size 12 and that's it.
Is XL and XXL a plus size? Not necessarily. Large is usually misses 12–14, XL is 16–18, and XXL is 20–22. 3X, 4X, 5X, etc.
Size | Chest | Waist |
---|---|---|
L | 41"-43" (103-109 cm) | 35"-36" (87-91 cm) |
XL | 44"-46" (110-117 cm) | 37"-38" (92-97 cm) |
XXL | 47"-49" (118-124 cm) | 39"-40" (98-102 cm) |
XXXL | 50"-53" (125-135 cm) | 41"-43" (103-109 cm) |
The sizes go L, XL, then XXL, but then there's plus sizes which are 1X, 2X, 3X. So 1X is bigger then XXL and is considered as a plus size.
