Earlier this week, MStars News learned that Calvin Klein added a new lingerie campaign featuring Myla Dalbesio, who is not an averaged size model.

Dalbesio is proud of her size-10 size and was in shock after reports called her a "plus-size" girl. Calvin Klein said no such thing, but tweets did.

Dalbesio shared her thoughts about the criticism and reactions from the campaign with the Today show. She stated, "I think that Calvin Klein has done something that's really groundbreaking, which is they released this campaign with what some would say is a normal-size model, a size 10. And size-10 girls, there's not a lot of spots for us to fit in in the fashion industry."

The 27-year-old Wisconsin native explained that her size was average and not plus size. "I am among one of many girls that are, like, 'in-betweenies.'" She continued, "So we're not skinny enough to be straight-size - [meaning] these size 0, size 2 girls - and we're not large enough to be considered for plus-size."

Dalbesio kept the conversation neutral and didn't refer to the Calvin Klein controversy, she simply said, "They released this campaign with me right alongside all of the other girls of varying shapes and sizes, and didn't make a fuss about it." Dalbesio says she has also received some positive feedback. "I'm getting these emails from 15-year-old girls in the middle of America that are saying, 'Thank you so much, I've never seen myself represented in this way before.'''
