I've always been annoyed/amused by the "women's" section. On the one hand, you have society/advertisting/the media telling you that Real Women are thin. On the other hand, you have retailers suggesting that Real Women are, um, larger. Smaller-sized women's clothes are "misses." What is this all supposed to mean???
Kids' clothes are even wackier. Clothes for big girls here are often labeled as "Pretty Plus." Big boys' clothes are "Husky." It's all straight out of 1952.
