BRING BACK SIZE 14

I was chatting with my friend Jamerson recently about my new plus size project. Here's a little tidbit from our convo.

Jamerson:
"I went into a JCrew (women's) the other day and was trying to find a shirt in a 14 and the sales associate said "Oh, we've stopped carrying them in that size in the stores but they're available online". And okay, fine, I bought it online but getting sized out is a bad feeling and one that I'm facing more and more lately. It makes me so frustrated on so many levels.
PS I'm pretty sure I need to lean how to sew some fucking jeans, eventually."
Me:
"You've got to be kidding me! What the fucks up with that?"

Being sized out is beyond frustrating. Why, when the average woman is not a size 0 or 00 are there so many options in those sizes? Can't we have both?

Now seems to be a time where attitudes are changing.

With bloggers like Nicollete Mason and Gabi Fresh who are body positive (and so much more!) and when Vogue magazine, (yes VOGUE) does a lingerie shoot with plus size models, is JCrew taking away size 14 in stores?

Wake up JCrew!

What are your thoughts?!
