I love the wide leg cut, but I'm not sure what to wear on top, maybe a beaded cardigan or twin set? For now, I just wear a white blouse with a scarf.
I've written to them about that a few years ago. Their answer was that even though they are a plus size clothers, most of the people who buy it dont want to see the clothing on the real sized women, so they get the smaller "plused" sized women if they used them at at all... I for one, want to see plus size clothing on a woman who is my size, I am currently in a size 16, and when I has wrote to then was in a 20, and would like to see the clothing modeled on a person similar to my type so I can get an idea of what they are going to look like on me. [huh] Call me crazy. I think who ever they had in their surveys were nuts.Snookie said:I don't get this site -- some nice clothes, but those models aren't plus size! They're like a 4, maybe a 6. But I think a 4. So where did they get the clothes to put on the model, if the smallest size they produce is a 14???
But I like those pants. I'd like a pair, and I'm jealous they don't come in my size!![]()
Snookie said:I'm not actually surprised that they're using the smallest models they can - any sensible consumer would want to see the real thing, but I'm sure they sell more this way. I'm just confused about where the clothes come from -- if their smallest size is a 14, where do they find the size 4 samples for the photo shoot? Unless they have a "sister" company, or something. [huh]

I feel the same way. I hate when they have swimsuits that are supposed to make you look slim and they put them on size 4 models. Of course a size 4 model looks slim but that doesn't mean it will work on me.pretty faythe said:I've written to them about that a few years ago.
