Plus Size Clothing is apparel designed for men and women with a larger body structure. Sizing is either numerical, starting with size 14, or by using letters X and XL. Sizes over 28 are considered extended size. In an attempt to create contemporary clothing, pattern companies research body scan data in order to create proper fit and construction.

The Buzz
In recent years, the evolution of hip, plus size clothing has made its mark. Torrid Clothing, which is owned by Hot Topic, is the latest retailer to provide rocker looks, urban wear, and city girl style to a fashion market that once only focused on smaller sized women. Hollywood has also begun to embrace larger girls, with American Idol winner Jordin Sparks modeling for Torrid, and Mia Tyler, daughter of Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler, inspiring hundreds of girls with her plus size modeling career. -
