Saks Launches Plus-Size Department

I am happy to report that Saks Fifth Avenue "will become the first major US retailer to stock plus-sized clothing from all of its high fashion brands," according to this article. I honestly can't believe it's taken THIS long for such action; just because skinny minis strut down the runway in haute couture creations doesn't mean such clothing should only come in itty bitty sizes.

But back to the exciting news...

The "high fashion brands" supplying these plus-sized clothing items include "Alexander McQueen, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi, Oscar de la Renta, Valentino, and... Chanel." What does "plus-sized" mean, you ask? Well, it means "up to size 14, with some brands extending to size 20."

Definitely exciting news!
