It seems that due the economy everything is being downsized.  Looking around at autos and computers, you will see smaller is the new better.  There is one industry that is taking a different view on that idea, though.  Some fashion lines are making the smart move to expand, rather than downsize, their products.

Both Forever 21 and Target, known as “cheap chic emporiums,” will be launching fashion lines exclusively targeted at plus-size teenagers.  Coming in the spring, the lines will let girls of all sizes have choices in apparel, that before were only available to those under the plus size categorization.

Faith 21, by Forever 21, will add sizes extra large to double extra large to the teen’s choices.  Target has named their new addition Pure Energy.  It will have sizes up to size thirty.

Already shoppers are expressing excitement over the upcoming changes.  They are looking forward to the chance at going to one place to shop with their friends that will have choices for all.  They also believe that this change is way overdue.  The statistics seem to be in their favor.  Most designers offer nothing over a size ten, although the average woman in the United States is a size fourteen.
