Hi

Plus size clothing tends to refer to clothing made for women who wear a size 14 in the US or 16 in the UK, The market for this form of clothing has gradually increased since its inception in the early 1900s. Prior to that, most clothing was not ready to wear and the majority of people made their own garments or had them tailored to accommodate various sizes. This is far less common in industrialized nations now, and most people buy premade clothing in designated sizes.

There are numerous manufacturers that are dedicated solely to producing plus size clothing and also quite a few that make plus size or “womens” size clothes for brands that create “regular” size clothes. Some stores feature only plus size clothing and many of them, like Lane Bryant® have become popular destinations for women who wear larger sizes.

Thanks
