This posting comes your way from my cousin Judy Bagshaw, author of many books featuring a plus sized heroine. An amazing person and writer! Read on:
Far be it for me to pass up a direct challenge!! Please, please, pretty please, can I chair the international organization of REAL sized people?? The fashion industry in a word, sucks, for anyone above a size 14. And even the so-called plus sized stores cut off at size 24 much of the time. That just burns my waffles, let me tell you!! I haven't been a size 24 since...hm....let me see...can I remember that far back? For several years, I've been purchasing clothes from U.S. designers--designers whose clothes START at a size 22 and go up from there!!! Um...HELLO CANADIAN DESIGNERS!! Anyone up here have the...ahem...pincushions to start a company like that?? I guarantee that if you market well, the clothes will fly off the hangers. I've spent years writing letters to Pennington's head office and complaining and slowly I'm seeing some gradual, minute changes happening (like finally some bras for us gifted girls!!) but I can only live so long, and I'd like to see some serious change in my lifetime.
So, yeah, if this coalition of ticked off fashion cheated women gets off the ground...I'm THERE!!!
