Do you remember when shock and some heartbreak came from White House Black Market doing us plus girls real dirty recently, as we talked about their silent drop of plus sizes? We were so excited for their release of WHBM Plus but we never saw anything about it afterwards, in fact a lot of people didn’t know that it was ever a thing.
The way we found out they stopped plus sizes? E-mails and comments! And do NOT get us started on LOFT and their discontinuation of plus size options…
WHBM said absolutely nothing about the end of having plus size options. The situation has been a letdown but, thankfully, we have other places to lean on for Plus Size Wear to Work Clothing and Plus Size Suiting…
