[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since when is size 14 a plus size? It is a regular size found in misses clothing, not in "women's" clothing. 14 is not fat.[/quote] My thoughts exactly.[/quote] It seems that in most clothing stores, plus size starts at size 14. [quote]But the average U.S. woman, who's 162.9 pounds and wears a size 14, is treated like an anomaly by apparel brands and retailers -- who seem to assume that no one over size 10 follows fashion's capricious trends. Fashion-forward boutiques such as Maxfield and Fred Segal rarely stock anything over a size 10, and in designer shops, sizes beyond 6 or 8 are often hidden like contraband in the "back." Department stores typically offer tiny sections with only 20 or so brands that fit sizes 14 and up -- compared with the 900-plus brands they carry in their regular women's wear departments.[/quote] http://articles.latimes.com/2009/mar/01/image/ig-size1[/quote]
