I'm not sure its a size thing as much as it is a style issue. I've seen teens that are at most a juniors size 4 wearing clothes that are probably girls size 16. For some reason these young girls think clothes are supposed to fit skin tight....I don't think its just a DC thing. So many would look so much better if they would wear clothes that are the correct size.
I also know for the label concious the brand clothes are cheaper in the smaller sizes but that's no excuse.
Perhaps you could bring the topic up in a round about way. Mention you went shopping and all this time you thought you wore size X but they didn't have it and the clerk swore you would fit size Y better because of the cut and when you tried it on they fit and looked so much nicer and you just had to get over that they were size Y. Ask her what she thinks and twirl and go slowly from there. I wouldn't focus on her size as the reason the clothes look bad just how they fit because frankly the girls who are a size 4 wearing tight clothers look bad also. She may have such a distorted view of herself that she doesn't appreciate how pretty she is at her current size.
Just had a thought- bring up how Mo'nique dresses...I don't like her comedy all the time but she can dress her behind off and is always stylish in clothes that fit her. She has a book coming out and I thought I heard before she was styling clothes but not sure if they are on the market yet.
