Take a look at this cut out from Macys.com:
Here's my question: Do they really need to separate out plus, petite and juniors? They are ONLY special because they are indicated as such and let's face it, this is not to indicate they are special in a good way, right? After you shop for sweaters and jeans and dresses, THEN ALSO shop for plus sizes and petites. Is that because they don't have sweaters and jeans and dresses in plus sizes and petites?
You know what's gotta be REALLY hard? Being a plus size or petite junior. Is that like being extra special?
I wrote and rewrote this entry because I did not want it to sound angry and it probably does anyway. But I'm not angry. I mean, I'm still gonna shop at Macys and I suppose I get the need to separate these out (and every online retailer does it).
And hey, let's be honest, if I were skinny, would I even give a shit?
But I guess in a weird way, I dream that if they were just included -- if you went to shop for a dress you could select from size 2 to 22 -- and if those sizes were just a part of the whole selection, people would just recognize it as more of a norm. It has to start somewhere.
