PR Web (press release), WA - 55 minutes ago While retail stores with �brick-and-mortar� locations may have just recently realized that plus size women love to feel beautiful and indulge themselves
So, what does it take to raise the bar in the plus-size market? For AboutCurves.com, it’s all about respect. Culver asks, “Retailers of ‘regular size’ clothing don’t display their styles on plus-size models, so why would a plus-size clothing retailer show its styles on thin models or under-sized mannequins?” That is why a visitor to AboutCurves.com will never see lingerie shown a model who is under a size 16. “More than anyone, plus-size women vary in body shape, so it’s very important for our customers to see what our styles will really look like on them,” explains Culver.
