I still have problems with these shops... Why don't they all stock size 0 to size 100 (or whatever the biggest possible size is)... Why showcase fat women, or thin ones come to that... I thought everyone was going on about everything becoming inclusive?
Yeah cos that will happen before the end of the year  |

Because targeting a specific demographic and acting as their champion can be very lucrative.
.
Also, in reality, a lot of clothing doesn’t really scale well. Designs for one body shape don’t work for another. For a good few years, the fashion has been for fitted clothes. Just about all of the trousers I see these days are ‘skinny fit, dropped crotch’. When I wear those things, I look like a toddler with rich parents. |

I like it. For me an inclusive society doesn't mean we all shop. In one shop, it means we are all accepted for what we are and have options on where to shop.
As another poster said, most designers don't understand the challenges of sizing up clothing. For instance most thing the bigger belly you have, the longer arms you have as they simply add the same inches over all of the pattern. |
