Plus-size outfits hard to find in retail outlets

Despite many people in the USA being larger than the average clothing rack, it’s really hard to find plus-sized clothing in retail outlets. Refinery 29 addressed the problem. They reported that “67% of women in the United States are size 14 and up.” But, they remain “unserved” because of the trend for small sizes only.

The outlet also noted that “of the 62,000 specialty stores in the US, only 2,000 of them focus on plus-size women.” Certainly, if Whitney Way Thore marketed plus-sized clothing and swimsuits, there’s a high demand for that. Perhaps she could sell them online? What do you think?  Sound off in the comments below.
