Plus size clothing shouldn’t mimic smaller sized styles

I ’m not a size-ist, but I do believe quite wholeheartedly that plus size clothing should not try, in any way shape or form, to mimic the style and cut of smaller sized garments. Because the point really is that women and men who bear differently shaped figures and size-specific  limbs have no business wearing clothes that are designed to accentuate a very particular physical form which happens to not be a form on their person. There is badly designed plus size clothing and there is equally shocking clothing for the not so plus sized. It happens; bad clothes are the inevitable consequence of attempting to appeal to intrinsically divergent mass consumers with homogeneous style... an evening out of the scales if you will. And it’s in this spirit that the style of clothes designed for smaller figures gets translated into plus size garments. But this pursuit of fashion equality seldom works fortunately because we’re dealing with completely different bodies and so what is striking on a slender body will appear ridiculous on a plus size one. And that’s not to say of course that the reverse isn’t true, for there are many petit and regular sized people whose attire do very little to indicate the presence of a working body, whatever the size. Ultimately the makers of plus size clothing must endeavor to adhere to one mandate when creating clothes for their target market, and that is revealing the appealing parts of the whole.
