What is this beautiful woman doing wearing an embroidered, shapeless tunic for 162 dollars?
Sizeism is alive and well in the fashion industry. How is a woman who is plus-sized supposed to feel good about herself when her "high end" fashion option is this? The person that designed this and the retailer that approved this are clearly out of touch with what a plus-size woman wants, and in my opinion, ultimately needs in order to feel her best self.
Not to mention, that to get to this top on the Nordstrom website, I had to click under "Special Sizes". Plus-size women are not a special interest group.
I'm off to go buy myself a tent to wear--it'll be cheaper than this top, and give the same effect.

I have never personally looked at Nordstomes because I'm cheap. I completely agree with you. I remember going there as a teen and I wasn't even that big (size 10) and I couldn't find anything in my size. I gave up shopping there after that. Like I said I don't like to spend a lot on stuff and I have to say I love looking at Ross because they have many different sizes with some really cute items for low cost, and each store has different options! I love your point of view on this because so many of us feel this way and don't say anything! If we all protested maybe things would change!
