Difficulties in choosing clothes for plus size people

Overweight women all over the world face the problem of finding clothes in their size. This group also includes representatives of the fairer sex with normal weight but large breasts. As a rule, regular sizes assume a standard bust.

It's hard to find clothes for overweight people: reasons

In Russia, overweight women have it even harder.

There are several reasons:

1. The country's clothing factories were programmed to produce clothes in normal sizes, which were easier to sew and sell. At the same time, the cost of such products is lower, and the return on investment is higher. After a clear increase in demand for large sizes, enterprises began to switch to sewing plus size models. Many sewing enterprises specializing in XL+ products (from 50/52 to 68/70) have appeared in the Russian Federation and CIS countries.
2. It is not always possible to maintain a stable weight throughout your life. A woman can gain weight for various reasons (after childbirth, with age, after taking hormonal medications).Having become accustomed to a certain style of clothing, she wants to stick to it further. But, having really assessed his new figure, he understands that he needs to look for something new and is faced with the big problem of finding something suitable.
3. The category of girls who have been overweight since childhood dream of not being different from their peers. But very often, even if they are large, clothes for thin people do not suit them at all. We have to look for other options that will help visually make the figure slimmer.

Reference! A high-quality product for women with curvy figures should be of the correct cut, worthy of design, from carefully selected materials in composition, color and pattern.
