To say that shopping for plus size women clothing in 'ordinary' women clothing stores can be a frustrating exercise would probably be an understatement.
The way these ordinary women clothing stores tend to operate is by stocking - almost exclusively - the standard women clothing sizes which the 'average' woman is likely to be looking for, making no provisions for the plus size woman. What is worse, they never announce the fact that they don't stock plus size items, so that it is only when the plus size woman goes shopping for their clothing (and typically after a considerably long search), that she comes to learn that the store simply does not stock their sizes.
All this comes from the fact that such 'ordinary' women clothing stores tend to ensure that they only stock what they consider 'standard' women clothing sizes. The ordinary women clothing stores, of course, only stock standard women clothing sizes in a bid to ensure that they don't end up with 'non moving stock' - and for most of them, plus size women clothing falls into that category of 'non moving stock' which they are hesitant to stock, in their bid to maintain fast stock turnovers.
Thankfully though, nowadays there are some specialty women clothing stores created with the sole objective of meeting the clothing needs of the plus size woman, and it is these that the woman looking for larger than average sized women clothing should make their first destination whenever looking for apparel.
And with the entrepreneurs seeing the opportunity in the plus size women clothing niche (which was for long essentially a neglected niche), we are seeing a remarkable rise in the number of these plus size women clothing stores, with every major city nowadays having at least one such store, and with many more such stores coming up on the Internet every passing day.
One of the benefits of shopping for plus size women clothing from these specialty women clothing is, of course, the fact that such specialty plus size women clothing stores are likely to have a greater variety of styles for the plus size woman to choose from. This is obviously a great departure from the occasional plus size women clothing item an 'ordinary' women clothing store stocks (which tends to leave the plus size woman with no choice, if she is actually 'lucky' enough to find such an occasional item that can fit her). Besides a greater variety to choose from, the typical specialty store dealing in plus size women clothing will also tend to sell such plus size women clothing at a fairer price than what an 'ordinary' women clothing store would sell such an item for, seeing that - as mentioned - ordinary women clothing stores tend to view plus size women clothing as a liability, which the plus size woman has to pay them dearly for, for the 'favor' of their having stocked it for her. - 29959
