About the Plus Size Industry:
When defining the plus size market, we are looking at more then half of the U.S. population. According to Michele Weston, author of Learning Curves: Living Your Life in Full and With Style (Crown), 68 percent of adult women in the United States -- about 65 million women -- wear a size 12 or above.

Awareness has grown of the curvy consumer. In the early 1990's there were approximately 200 vendors catering to the plus size market and today there are over 2000.

  • a September 2001 report from MarketResearch.com, U.S. retail sales of womens plus-size apparel approached $32 billion in year 2000, representing a 33% rate of growth since 1996, and capturing a 27% share of all U.S. womens apparel sales – making it the fastest-growing segment in the industry. Plus size U.S. apparel sales are expected to reach $47 billion by 2005, representing a 49% increase over year 2000 sales.
