Wal-Mart is not only inexpensive, they also stock plus-size clothing! Like I can get a bathing suit there for $20 that doesn't look horrible, or I could hunt around Avenue or online for plus-size bathing suits with weeeiiiird floral designs and pay $60-80 if I'm lucky. They also have plus-size exercise clothes, which admittedly are not the greatest quality but HELLO MANUFACTURERS this is an untapped market.
I went to the J Jill sale the other day (because their clothes last *forever* and are comfortable and easy to care for and look way more professional than a lot of "made for larger people professional" clothes) and managed to get a dress that was originally $90 for $28, which still fits in my category of "expensive clothes" but I needed a dress and also IT HAS POCKETS. But they apparently don't regularly stock XL clothes in the store, only online. It was just there because someone had returned it. They don't regularly stock XL clothes in the store. Is that because having larger people in their store will scare away all the thin people by ruining their image? What is that even?
