Communicating Plus, Petite & Maternity sizes in addition to “regular” sizes?

Lucy asked:


We are launching an online clothing store and one thing that has been really bothering me is how to distinguish between “regular” “plus” and “petite” size clothing. I feel as though it is an insult to distinguish clothing options as “Plus” and I just wanted to know if there is any other way to communicate these options.

So the three options are:
“regular” size
“plus” and “petite”

Is it offensive to say:

Eclothing
Eclothing Plus Shop
Eclothing Petite Shop

So “eclothing” by itself represents the ‘regular’ size and then the other sizes will add “Plus” or “Petite” or “Maternity” to the end of eclothing. I don’t know though, it just sounds offensive to me?! Am I wrong, is Plus & Petite just industry accepted & women accepted terms???

Afr3ak asked:


I’m 16 years old, 4ft 11in and weight 82 pounds. I always have a hard time finding jeans that are comfortable and fit right. They’re always too long or the right length but don’tt fit around my hips right. Its hard to find jeans when school is weeks away. Right now I have two pairs of jeans that fit the way I want. Normally if I find a pair that I like and theyre too long I go get them altered but Im tired of it. Any suggestions on where I could find some jeans?
Also I really like skinny jeans but with my size they are almost impossible to find

For ladies who are petite, (5″2 and under) how do you buy your pants?

MaryJoeToe asked:


It is hard for petite women to shop for pants and jeans because there are very few places who cater to non- average heights. All though ann taylor has a petite section and some places have SHORT made sizes like express and I think the gap use to do that, most main stream places have clothes made for averaged height people. I lately have been cutting the bottoms of my pants. Not a good idea if it is very expensive. So what do you do? (this is for women who are of the height 5′2 and under)

Atheist, P.I. asked:


I’m 5′0″, size 8, either big-hipped or small-waisted (take your pick) and I’m getting really tired of all my jeans falling down because the waist is too loose, but I can’t go down a size because then they don’t fit on my hips.

O Yahoo Fashion Gurus, where should I be shopping?

Lauren R asked:


I need to buy some clothes. What are the best online shops for teens. I am nearly 17 but I’m real petite (5 foot 1 to 5 foot 2!)

I have a small frame (I’ve been small my whole life!) What clothes would suit me? I have dark brown long hair, brown eyes, medium to fair skin (although I do tan up) and I have an oval to round head (kind of in between) although I do have quite a large head (not enormous!) just slightly rounded.
