Plus Size Clothing ? Outrageous Wear

I have a question, and if anyone is able
to answer it I would really appreciate
it. I am confused about this whole plus
size clothing thing on a couple
different levels. First of all what
chauvinist male came up with that name?
Plus size just sounds so unflattering.
Men don?t have plus size clothing
sections. No they just have bigger
sizes. Or they can go to stores like
Big and Tall. Just once I would like to
see a plus sizes sign hanging over the
men?s section of the store.

Second exactly who and what determined
what size constitutes a plus size? Does
it vary from store to store? I honestly
think someone just sat down one day and
arbitrarily said anything over this size
will be considered a plus size, and who
cares about the women who have to shop
in that section. I always thought the
whole thing was a little humiliating. I
mean most people are not proud of being
on the larger side, but to have a whole
different section of the store set aside
with a big side hanging over it
declaring you to be overweight must be
humiliating.

The entire situation is only worsened by
that fact that there seems to be a
distinct lack of cute fashionable plus
size clothing. So not only do you have
to shop under a large sign declaring you
to be overweight, but you also have to
look over at the smaller section and
realize how much cuter all those clothes
are. Mostly it seems unfair.

Now don?t get me wrong there are a few
good stores that have nice plus size
clothing. Lane Bryant is one for
example that has some really nice stuff,
however the majority of stuff I see out
there looks at least 5 years old and not
like something anyone would be rushing
to buy.
