Where I live there are plenty of plus size stores and all of the department stores have big plus size sections. What is sadly lacking are stores for people like me – I am barely five feet tall and on a good day weigh 98 pounds. There is only one petite size store in town and it is very expensive. The department stores have a very limited selection of petites. I am forever running to have alterations done – and that can become costly. I guess that we all would like to have speciality shops to address our own concerns but if there were a lot of money to be made by fragmenting sales, then we wouldn’t still be searching and wishing.
