My problem, which I'm sure many of you share, is that it isn't just that plus sizes are too big, but that they're just cut wrong for us. I can't fit a 14W say, but a straight 18 or 20 fits me beautifully. On the up side, I have been finding more and more larger straight sizes which fit me - whether the shops are cutting larger, or adding 18s and 20s. It does take a lot of digging, and many are only online. I try to look at the positive, as I'm a clearance shopper, so I'm already digging - so I dig the whole store (Misses, Women's, Junior's, some Men's). I've just launched my own blog dedicated to our size Style on the Edge. It's the very early days, so please bear with me as I design it all and launch it properly, but my size sisters here are welcome to enjoy all the shop links I've been adding. This is my world!

It may have alot to do with the town I live n there r alot of plus size women but most r not up on being fashionable. So with a lack of demand 4 a better selection of plus size clothes I have to travel to some of the larger major cities near by. Anyways I am glad this was brought up.

For some 14 is a plus, for others plus starts from 16. If shopping is done online, there would not be any issues on selecting the different sizes at one place.

I TOTALLY understand. I have always been a 22/24/26. . . and I have TOLD myself that I truly think that being an 'inbetweenie' is much harder. you are 'too big' for normal sizes, and 'too small' for plus sizes. at least at my size, I know where I 'belong'. lol. I have a friend that is about a size 12. . . the name brands are too small and torrid/lane bryant/etc are too big. Omg. . . I TOTALLY understand.

This has been an issue for me for years, and I get frustrated shopping at stores like Forever21 or Charlotte Russe for budget "trendy" wear, and get the same frustration at 'Torrid' when I seem to be too large for teen sizes and too small for most plus sizes. I have had some minimal luck finding "Juniors Plus" items, but those are few are far between (No boundaries, JcPenney) I am a size 14/16 and hope that more designers realize we are normal size women, and are more the majority than the minority.
