Are Stores Fair When It Comes To Plus Size?

I was in DEB yesterday. I went with my sister who is like a size 2 and can wear anything and my cousin who has curves and actually knows what it's like to rummage through the isles to find anything bigger than a XS.

It was a little after my cousin and I had to help my sister find an XS shirt that I noticed I felt crowded in this section. It felt like everything and everyone was on top of each other, and I'm not a big girl! I just felt uncomfortable.

Now every girl who shops in DEB knows that they're 'plus size' doesn't really mean 'plus size.' It's just because they're clothes run so small, they want to make any girl with a chest or curves feel accepted or included with the whole 'shopping experience.'

Okay, now back to the point. Remember as I mentioned above how in the regular sized section I felt crowded and claustrophobic, well in the plus size section, every thing was spread out, there was room to walk. Now me being me and thinking like I do, I took it offensive, (not to mention the section is all the way in the back of the store in this tiny corner).

Now, I mean I'm not sure if they feel as if 'plus size' women need 'more room' or what, but in my opinion, any dedicated shopper needs room to shop! My sister who is tiny had issues walking around in her section because everything was so close together.

It's understandable that there are a copious amount of clothing for the regular section, but why isn't there that amount of clothing for the plus size section? And since there is not, they spread it all out to make it look like a lot, in the back corner of the store, as if they want bigger women to feel ashamed of their size.

Enough said.
