Make all styles available in plus.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI would love for the brands that are currently size inclusive to include all styles of their clothing. I have found that only some styles are size inclusive, and the styles I want are not available in my size.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2013 Natalie H.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Shop in the same section.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI would like to be able to shop anywhere I want. Why do clothes have to be in a separate section or a special store? Can\u2019t every store just carry sizes 2 through 28 and put them all in the same section?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2013 Regina M.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Show diverse models.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen I get a catalog from brands that are size diverse or size inclusive, I want to see models who reflect that. I don\u2019t want to just see a straight-size model with an asterisk next to the item that says \u2018available in extended sizes.\u2019 I want to see women of color, short women, tall women.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2013 Laura S.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Feature women sizes 24 and up.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI want to see more [size] diversity in plus-size models. I am a size 24 and I want to see more size-24-and-up models in campaigns.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2013 Regina W.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. More options.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMore options for non-femme, androgynous, and unisex styles in plus!
