The growing consumer number for plus-size clothing began as campaigns for body positivity become prevalent. Add the popularity of models like Ashley Graham, Tess Holiday, and Toccara Jones who essentially became the faces of the plus-size industry as they appear in widely accepted fashion magazines like Vogue.

The same is true for plus size clothing for men. Plus-size model Raul Samuel started out as a consumer who’s having the struggle to find clothing in his size. Now he represents the brand BoohooMAN that put up his pictures all over London.

It’s just fair to anticipate that in the years to come, there will be more widely known brands that support plus-size fashion, and even have a line of its own.

But for now, let’s get back to that conversation and let’s say the sales lady did know her products well. She would have assisted her customer directly to the “Plus-Size” department where her customer could have been very happy to have found one of these.
