Why the lack of cute plus sized clothing?

I realise that this is in the land of Oz, but I guess your dollar would go a lot further here than most, so it might be an option?

I recently discovered a local (actually local to CrazyCanuck really since it's in Western Oz) company that makes up jerseys and other cycling apparel. They have a wide range of artwork and make them up to whatever size you order according to their sizing chart. Their women's jerseys are very definitely woman-shaped and come in up to 6XL.

They are not cheap but they are VERY cute. I bought the Easter Bunny and the Santa Claus ones. My DH bought me a really "girlie tough mountain biker chick" one (skulls and flames and lots of pink) for my birthday. And I greatly covet the "Dogs in Space" model. I am what Australians call a size 16 (about a US size 14) and I bought them in XL, which fits really nicely.

The Director, Alex can be contacted by email and was very helpful.

I've attached a pic of me at Easter in my bunny jersey (before I put my helmet on - complete with ears - and a tail on my cute pink furry toolbag from TE). It was quite a hit wherever I went.
