We are of the mind that one has to name the problem and recognize the source, or sources, of that problem before it can be ‘fixed’. First, we can say that problems for plus size women exist inside the fashion world where there has been little thought about creating designs for the curvaceous larger woman.
Secondly, we suggest that manufacturers continue to mass produce the ‘average’ styles and sizes of clothing. The fact that the manufactured items may be inappropriate, or even injurious, for the curvaceous, plus size women is apparently not a consideration.
Thirdly, the clothing outlets seem to be accepting of the clothing designs manufactured for the smaller size women. They haven’t come to recognize the potential profit sitting on the sidelines waiting to be claimed by simply meeting the needs of plus size women.
And, as much as it hurts, the plus size women must accept much of the blame for the scarcity of fashions, patterns, and sizes that are needed. By quietly accepting what has been offered instead of asking for what was needed, it is plus size women who have allowed the problem to continue for so long.
Admittedly, there has been some progress in styling for plus size women but there is much left undone while progress is stop-and- go. We tend to think that it will be the plus size women themselves who will lead the fashion designers to the solution of this problem.
