Plus Size Fashion Tips
Everybody loves to stack their wardrobe with different styles including haute couture. In the past, the options were quite limited for people who were chubby. They had to settle for whatever was available and this often hurt their self-esteem badly. But the good news is that this has changed in the past few years and the fashion industry has managed to begin a new trend altogether; the trend of plus size clothing.
The average American woman is 5 foot 4 with a waist size of 37.5 inch which overall translates to size 14. This statistics makes it quite clear that there is a potential customer base that can be tapped by the fashion industry. The fashion retailers have been able to identify this gap and demand in the past few years and have offered similar options in plus sized clothing as you would get for normal sizes. What is even impressive is the fact that the plus sized women have been able to rock this look as they sport the apparel with confidence. Though the plus size clothing has a lot to achieve before it catches with the current trends, yet it is making huge leaps and strides in the field.
