Full Size
Posted in Detox by admin
If 6 out of 10 people are considered “plus size”, then why do the retailers aim their fashions towards the lower sizes?.
Why do we see new fashions with a top limit of size 12?
We are not all size zero, and many of us women have a body type, that no matter how much we diet, exercise and starve ourselves, we would never be a size 2. Are we suppose to be a size 2 to look good in the latest fashions? This is very difficult to explain to a healthy larger built teenager when she is trying to fit in at school. What type of message are we sending out to our young women?.. that size 2 is the norm?. In the early 70’s, you couldn’t even find a size 2.. the smallest was a size 6-8 around where I live, and that was considered very tiny.
Fashion designers, should be taking notes here, if the statistics are right, and at least 60% of us are in the size 14 and up bracket, then why do we not see more magazine ads, or billboard ads, or TV ads, showing that size in the latest fashion?
In the last few years, there have been stores popping up for the “plus size girl” that are segregated away from the main stream department stores, as if it were a disease. It was not that many years ago that a size 12 and curvy hips were considered sexy. What happened?.. was it Twiggy in the 60′s that triggered this starvation as beauty?
There is nothing wrong with a healthy active girl, who happens to have a larger build, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with a size 14. I went shopping for a outfit at Christmas, the manikin was wearing a size 4, and I was told my size 14 version was in the back of the store. I went back there almost feeling ashamed, and yet I am healthy, active and fit. The sales girl was a size 2, and proud of it.. (she was telling everyone her no nonsense diet of 800 calories a day to get that size).
I think all of us size 14′s and up should be proud of our size and as long as we do our best to take care of our bodies, and health, then we should not let our self esteem be eroded by these skinny ads!
I have noticed a few more stores online and offline, that are taking the chance and stocking their stores with trendy, chic and fashionable 14 and up sizes, along side the smaller sizes, I applaud the designers, as some of these styles look great…. but I guess the label “plus size” is here to stay!.Ample size Fashions
