Plus size clothing

Did you know that 65% of american women are overweight, 35% of them are obese. Most designer clothing don't go past a size 10! Now before I get too into this I just want to say I'm not saying that being obese okay, I think as long as your healthy that should be enough. I think designers need to start realizing that not every women is skinny and that a size 10 is unrealistic for some women. I know plenty of beautiful and healthy women that are curvier then a size ten. Now some designers are embracing the fact that things like child birth naturally enlarge a women hips and design for plus size women. My favorite store Torrid, has been dressing curvy women in all the latest trends for years, but what most women don't realize is that Torrid carries as small as a size 12, they hear its a specialty store for plus size women and move on.
I admire women like Adele who said; ‘My weight has never been an issue, I’ve never hung out with the sort of horrible people who make it an issue’ I think with that attitude it would inspire women to be more confident and in turn stop gaining weight from things like stress.
A few designers have jumped on the band wagon, in creating beautiful and fun clothing for full figured women instead of the awful large print, crazy patterned, no shape shit you find at Wal-Mat.
I hope that not only will women that have curves will get more fashionable clothing available but also something that will fit their bodies correctly. But you've heard me bitch about that before lol. Pictures are as fallows top: Torrid second: Adele third: Melissa McCartney
