Why is it that they can't make more cute clothes for plus sized women?? I was looking for bathing suits the other day and a lot of them are old lady prints. Why can't they just use the fabrics from the smaller clothes and make them in plus size styles? I don't get it. I'm not saying they need plus size bikinis or halter tops, but they can make clothes that are cuter. The stores have definitely gotten better in past years, but they have a long way to go!

I actually had the opposite experience. I'm 5'3" and when I was in plus sizes, I could rarely find clothes that were short enough. At Lane Bryant, for example, their "petites" were usually about 4" too long. Literally, one time I ordered a pair of supposedly "petite" exercise pants from them and when I tried them on, the cuffs covered my feet so that only my toes were sticking out. I've always found that manufacturers/designers thought that women grew taller as they grew fatter.

Hehe I have to admit its been years since I shopped at lane bryant but used to their normal pants were more like capris for me. Which I stoped wearing due to swelling in my lower legs.
