Who is old enough to remember when the girls' section in Sears had a "Chubby" department which was then changed to "Pretty-Plus"?
I'm sorry, but those are both a heck of a lot more offensive than petite.

But you CAN HELP being fat.
You can't help being petite and beautiful.

Wait? When did beauty come into this? There's some really ugly short people out there!
Since the complaint is also that the petite clothing section has matronly clothes, I think that "Shorties under 40" would be an appropriate name.

That's nothing a pair of 5" stilettos and some blue eyeshadow couldn't take care of.

I agree. I don't remember a "Chubby" department, but I was tall and lanky. I do remember husky for the boys.

I have the very difficult problem of having a large cup size (G or DDDD) and a small band size (36). I could never find a bra that fit me right and I was always wearing the wrong bra size (did you know that 85% of women are wearing the wrong bra size?) until I discovered Intamacy, a lingerie boutique with stores in Atlanta, Chicago and New York. (The were even featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show for Oprah's Bra and Jean intervention). They have bras to fit all women, and if they can't get you the perfect ffit, they will taylor the bra to fit you perfectly.

But please don't get me started on finding a bathing suit that looks descent on me. I have not been able to find ANY swimsuit that has enough coverage and support to make me look half way descent. I jsut do NOT go swimming, and i hate it because I know that I am missing out on a lot of good times.

I actually am quite pleased with the size of my breasts. I wouldn't resort to painful and risky surgery just to buy clothes off the rack.
I have the problem of button-up shirts popping open between the buttons. But I have a clever solution: I cut a piece of double sided toupe tape and stick it between where it is popping open. You can buy the toupe take at Sally's Beauty Supply, or other beauty supply stores.

Thanks for the great idea.
I have chronic back problems from an accident about nine years ago and having large breasts doesn't help any.

bumping because it's a tragedy that Miss Universe only has tall women in the pageant.

I have the same problem. Why can't the fashion industry make clothes for people with smaller frames and big breasts? No matter how much money I end up spending on a swim suit, they don't fit properly. I'm too embarrassed to go out there and risk my top coming off in the middle of a water volleyball game or wave jumping at the beach!
