A clothing website has come under fire for their portrayal of women's plus-size pants and shorts.

Online retailer Wish.com advertised a pair of black, faux leather shorts for $9 on their website, with the accompanying photo showing a super-thin model with both of her legs in one leg of the garment.

While the shorts have now sold out, people were quick to point out the mishap online, with many saying the way in which the clothes were modeled was offensive.

The actual clothing brand is not listed on Wish.com, however Hello Giggles observed China-based brand Herry He's Store used this same advertising technique last year.

The campaign comes as body diversity breastfeeding and 'freeing the nipple' continue to have their moment in the fashion world.

Just recently, Australian supermodel Robyn Lawley claimed the term plus-size needs to be eradicated as it sends the wrong message to women about the ideal body image.

Speaking to The Telegraph, Lawley said: " Telling women that they're "plus-size" is sending the wrong message - that there is something wrong with them.

"If we continue to use that term, which was created by the fashion industry, we are segregating huge numbers of women.

"We should get rid of it.

"Designers say they're changing, but they're not. They should be respectful of their customers and use different-sized women on the catwalk instead of skinny young girls."
