The plus size women of America are going to be quite upset. Its hard enough for them to find cute clothes for a reasonable price, but now that department stores are discontinuing their sizes 16 and up, plus size, lines it’s going to get a lot harder.
Old Navy is one store in particular who will be discontinuing their plus size line, and will only be selling it online.
I don’t understand, I thought a size 16 was right above the normal size. It seems as if America is trying to force someone into shape and lose weight, because more than half of America is overweight.
The stores are complaining that the cost for product is just to high to continue to carry plus sizes, but if the clothes are cute women would buy it, and they should have no problem making a profit.
I am kind of baffled, and I know there are going to be some real upset people out there. What do you all think about this situation.

I am very very upset because I can totally relate. I am a 40G (Bra size) and most stores don't carry my size. I was hurt the day Victoria's secret told me..euh..we don't go beyond DD as if higher means that you're not beautiful and even their DD choices is very limited.
Then the only LaneBraynt store in my town has closed down so now I have to drive 3 hours to get some bras...and then surprise..they stopped carrying the size in the store, so I have to go to the store and order online so they can ship it to me...
so unfair...
then people get surprised that the number of surgical procedures is increasing
as for clothes, let's not even go there. I haate shopping for clothes and I'd rather shop for make up/ books/beauty products/soaps/accessories because I am sure it fits.
It is hard to find a good pair of jeans that fit well because ...it's all about the skinny jeans..
then most tops are very body hugging which doesn't flatter heavy-chested ladies because there is a conception that if you are heavy and strut your stuff, then you look like you came out of a porno movie...
sigh
Oh Amina I knowwww what you are talking about regarding clothes, the only stores that I like and know that their clothes will fit is New York and Company, in all the other stores I find it so hard to find clothes that fits me perfectly. Anyway it's ridiculous all that you have to go through to find a bra that fits and don't even get me started with the skinny jeans.
