Hi! I am so glad I found this website. My husband and Father are plus size along with myself. Clothing is so hard to find for plus size people and as someone mentioned most Americans are overweight!!! I was so frustrated that I left my profession and opened a PLUS SIZE Consignment store. I am the only one in my city that is exclusively for plus sizes. Right now I am all womens clothing but mens clothing is on its way hopefully. I have so many customers thanking me for doing this. Plus size people have been neglected in the fashion industry and my goal is to change that. I did an interview in the local paper a few months back and explained our frustrations. Plus size people thanked me and I think I opened alot of “average” size peoples eyes as to what we actually go through. We pay more than the “average” size person for things, and that is if we can even find them to fit us. It is ashame in this country so many things are accepted and adapted for, except the larger person.

It uses more material to be made.

LivingXL is a good site for larger people but their products are REALLY EXPENSIVE. I can find the exact same things usually for quite a bit less. Maybe I’m out of step, but to me size acceptance also means not being overcharged for things made for my size.

There’s another site that sell things especially for bigger people as well.

Excellent website for me to introduce it to my family member’s..My dad and sis are larger in size so they usually have difficulty finding the outfits that suit them.

Yes, the store caters to large folks, but doesn’t really promote being unhealthy.

Nice link you’ve got there. Most store don’t have what we’re looking for (weird considering a large percentage of American’s are rather large). Been looking for a decent garden chair

awesome. It is amazing how many American’s are overweight, but how little big and tall stores there are available. Great idea with the furniture for bigger people.
