Plus Size Clothing Sees A Boost In Sales

Well, it's about time someone realizes that plus size women spend money too!  It's been reported that from March 2005 to February 2006, sales of plus-size women's clothing rose about 7 percent to $19 billion. 

The plus size market was certainly underserved in the past, but is now being recognized by retailers such as Wal-Mart, Gap, and Old Navy.  A spokeswoman for Wal-Mart says that the company is adding more racks for plus-size apparel and will be merchandised with all the other sizes.  No longer will women's clothing be segragated!

Oh, separate is NOT equal!

Good for Wal-Mart and these other companies who are genuinely addressing the needs of the plus size woman. One day maybe we'll find that it's "normal" to be able to shop at any clothing store, whatever size you are!

What is "normal" anyways? I never really liked that word! Who's to say that a size 6 or 8 is "perfect" pr "normal"?

Well, at any rate, I'm glad that retailers have finally realized that not everybody wears a size 6!
