This quote comes from an NYT piece I just read, Plus-Size Wars, which I thought was well-written, insightful, and honest. I think These kinds of problems with fit and availability of different clothes affect women of all sized and shapes. This quote is an example of the well-turned phrasing of the article.
“
As anyone who has tried to outfit herself in an American shopping mall knows, sizing often seems utterly arbitrary. One manufacturer’s size 4 can announce itself as an invitation to a StairMaster; another as an excuse for a soufflé.
