Plus-sized Women Should Stay Away From Upsizing

As the husband of a plus-sized woman, I have heard my wife complain many, many times about upsizing. Upsizing is when a company takes an article of clothing, like a shirt or skirt, that was designed for “normal” sized people and makes it in a larger size without changing the design in any way shape or form. Upsizing can create some absolutely horrible fashion mistakes in the plus-sized world, as not all bodies are created equally and no two bodies look/fit the same in an individual article of clothing. What you end up with in upsized clothing are often unflattering outfits that do not fit a plus-sized woman’s body correctly and make the woman wearing the outfit look unattractive. Clothing companies should really quit this practice altogether and plus-sized women need to be aware that this is happening in the first place. Be very choosy with what you wear, and you can be just as gorgeous as any woman on the street. Just be sure to pick clothing that is specifically designed to show off a plus-sized woman’s assets, not her size.
