I, too, find it frustrating to shop for clothes. Any kind of clothes, actually. Manufacturers seem to assume that all women have an hourglass shape, yet I have read that about 60% of women are pear-shaped. And some of us are more pear-shaped than others. There are also no clothes for plus-size women who are tall. You can get one or the other, but not both in the same clothes. I realize they can't make clothes for every conceivable configuration, but it's frustrating nonetheless.

I suppose we should be thankful for what we do have. I was tall before I became plus-sized and, as a tall girl, I well remember the struggle to find clothes appropriate for my age. What few tall clothes there were seemed to be made for older women. I wound up having to have most of my clothes made by a local seamstress. Anyway, both tall and plus-size women have come a long way in terms of the availability of clothes that fit us. Hopefully, things will only get better. After all, the American population is getting bigger, not smaller. The demand will be there.
