Sizing up sexy plus size clothes

Unfortunately for gals surfing the Internet for plus size womens apparel, not all sizes are created equal. There can be a great deal of variation in the dimensions of plus size women clothes, depending on whether you are shopping in the missy department or women's wear, and there are even differences from one designer to the next. There are a few guidelines one can use when trying to sort out the discrepancies.

First, keep in mind that while missy may go all the way up to 20, plus size womens apparel generally starts at 14W. If you're considering some sexy plus size clothes in missy or junior, remember they are cut smaller than women's wear. For example, a missy blouse labeled a 14 may be too tight on your frame, but a women's may fit just right because of the generous cut. Try both departments to get a feel for what sizes you require in each.

By some estimates, there are as many as 40 million women in sizes 14 and up in the United States. That's a lot of frustrated shoppers. We're here to end the frustration.
