What happened to size 12 and up?

As I mentioned in my previous and very first post, we will be talking about style, body types and how to look as your best for different events and situations in your life. CanelaStyles.com is a soon to be site focused on plus size women and will cater this side of the market as we all know has been some how forgotten by many designers out there. Yes, many brands do carry the XL, but in reality, many brands out there grade their sizes a little too small and unrealistic with what is going on in the market.

According to studies, the average size for american women is size 14, but was is more interesting is that this is not the actual size that is mostly sold by retail stores that sell apparel. What this tells is is there is a discrepancy in the demand of sizes and the lack of availability for of good apparel under these size ranges.

What happens is that women in there size 14 seem to not buy clothing in this is size range because they will end up anyways loosing some weight and then why they say to themselves, "why spend so much money on nice clothing size 14 when I know pretty soon I will go back tot my normal weight". That may seem to make sense, so you go ahead and buy yourself of cheap jeans and done!.

What many women don't realize is that they stop going shopping for the longest, wear whatever they have in the closet, retailers stop getting the bigger sizes because of lack of demand, and then creates a lack of nice clothing in these size ranges. Because women gained some weight or even if they have been size 14 all their life does not mean that there is nothing out there for them, of course you the look sexy, beautiful and fashionable too! Women need to realize that no matter what size they are, they should look their best in every size. This is why I decided to start my blog and post some cool fashionable options out there! take a look!
