“Have you
seen most of the plus-size sections out there? It’s
horrifying. Whoever’s designing for plus-size doesn’t
get it. The entire garment needs to be reconceived. You
can’t just take a size 8 and make it larger. In my travels,
I’ve been an advocate for larger women. I’ve been
talking to designers, but only a half-dozen make an effort. Most
say, ‘I don’t want a woman who’s a size 10 or
11 wearing my clothes.’ Well, shame on you! It’s not
realistic"
