If there was vanity sizing for plus sizes (say a size 4 was actually a size 14) I'm sure that would make me feel good as it would many other plus size women. But there is, nor do I really think there needs to be.
I'm not really explaining myself well am I? Please know that it was not meant as an insult to anyone, only that, generally speaking, plus size women are more self conscious with their sizing than say a smaller women and vanity sizing would be more appropriate for plus size clothing (generally speaking of course).

I like the idea that someone else had of using the sizes that the stores offer and say first size, second size, etc. That would give us a better grasp on what these retailers are doing.
On the plus size thing...I find it interesting that Lane Bryant is FINALLY coming back with the original NON-stretch jeans. It's crazy though -- Stretch jeans and non-stretch of the same size aren't at all the same. You could wear a 20 stretch, but that would mean like a 24 non-stretch. Not surprising, just interesting.
Edited: I said it backwards...
EDITED AGAIN: DOH - backwards...
