She is setting a poor example. There are plenty of tasteful large women out there -- see Camryn Manheim of "the Practice," Soror Star Jones of "The View," Lorraine Toussaint of the now-gone "Any Day Now," S. Epatha Merkerson and Dianne Wiest of "Law and Order" (they were featured in an InStyle spread) and Marjorie Gubelmann, an Upper East Side socialite who is roughly a size 16.
Remember -- just because they make it, doesn't mean you have to wear it. And as a sidebar, I am utterly disappointed in Lane Bryant this season. Too many peasant tops.

Yes, Cammy Manneheim is a TOTALLY classy woman.
And yes, just because it is in your size doesn't mean you should wear it. I really want to start a magazine or something specializing in college aged/ twentysomething bigger women.
I agree with you on LB this season. I like a lot of the jeans they put out, with the stretchy boot cuts, but the shirts are ALL peasant. Give me some classy simple stuff from last season!
