Yet I will come up with some. I just read this article. My favorite part is "Anyway, you only need to look at the tags of clothes size 10 and 20 to see that the difference in cost – sometimes three or four dollars, sometimes 10 or 15 dollars, is being passed on to the plus-sized consumer."
Um, did I miss something? When did size 10 become plus size? What crack are these people smoking? And HOW on earth are they saving money by not serving the majority of American women? Do all the skinny girls have the money?
I fully acknowledge that 68% of American women being plus-sized is too many. That is another post, though. Beyond the fact that we have some serious health issues in this country, and that we all need to get our butts in gear, or at least I do, WE HAVE TO WEAR SOMETHING IN THE MEANTIME. Ridiculous. I love that at the bottom of the article they try to console us by pointing out that many of the stores will allow us to purchase their plus-sizes online, even if they won't stock them in the store. Totally good solution. Because women struggling with weight issues, and therefore generally more body flaws to try to camouflage and draw attention away from, should order things online. Looking at it on the size 0 model will give you a GREAT idea what it looks like. Or, if they have it on their size 10 "plus size" models (if they are even that big), that will also give plus size ladies a good idea.
Thank you, fashion world, for giving so many women such a boost. We feel fabulous.

um, they were saying compare a size 10 to a 14 so you can see how much extra us plus sizers are being charged when we buy our 14. :)
thanks ann taylor!!
Oooooh! It was late when I read this. Obviously I read that part wrong. The article still makes me mad.
