CT: Designers Don’t Fit Real Women
I’m always looking for designer clothes at a bargain. So, when I found a Web site that offers five
new designer looks every day at 70 to 80 percent off, I was elated. I found a cute outfit styled for an hourglass figure, and I clicked on “make it yours.” When I went to put in my size, I found it strange that the drop menu only went to size 6. I checked out the other looks — they all only went to size 6, except for the “full-figured” look, which went to size 10. I’m a size 8. I do not consider myself full-figured. In fact, the average American woman wears a size 11 to 14. Who is this Web site catering to? I have seen garments made by the designers featured on the Web site in size 14. Does the Web site not stock them because, surely, no one interested in designer clothing would be so fat?/
