As a person with “plus-size” needs for clothing I have shopped with “plus-size” in mind, however I have this issue with places marketed as plus size versus somewhere that is not and also sells plus size clothing. I recently ordered tops from Lane Bryant, which I had measured myself beforehand to make sure I was ordering the right size. Come to find out, according to Lane Bryant, a 58” bust size is not the same as mine for some reason. I don’t know how many ways you can interpret an inch, but apparently with clothing, you can. If I go to Kohl’s and find items in the regularly sized section, I can sometimes get away with a 2XL, but anything marked as plus size I’m usually their version of what would be an XS. I know everyone’s body is made differently, but why the hell is it so hard for clothing companies to just find that nice middle ground?

Same with Torrid. I bought a bra a while ago that was labeled as 48DD on the Torrid website. I got it, and it was HUGE compared to what I needed. Like, 4 cup sizes at least bigger than what I needed. And I had measure myself and made sure to check before ordering. I got different bras made for regular sizing that came in 48DD and they fit so much better.
