Its funny I should happen to stumble upon this blog today. I am a size 22/24 and I need a bathing suit. Not some out of fashion old fat lady suit, but something sexy and supportive. I went to Old Navy’s site and was surprised to see that plus sizes were now online only.

As a beautiful big woman what these women are saying hits home for me. Our old navy never carried plus sizes, and the one time I ordered them everything was either too big or too small. I dont know when society will understand that we dont need different clothes than everyone else, they just need to make the ones they already do in sizes that fit the beautiful range of women that exist. I am tired of feeling like I am alone in this plight. I might be big, but for gods sake, I am lovely, and i’ve got a great rack! i dont need a bathing suit that comes to my chin, available only in sapphire animal prints.

Anyway, after reading this blog i am no longer considering ordering my swim suit from Old Navy. Remember ladies and gentlemen, you are not alone.

The situation sucks, but I have to argue with the people who claim the clothes are the worst-fitting…Old Navy’s plus-size line fits me better than any clothes I can find at department stores, lane bryant, torrid, etc. because I have a big waist and no bust. I bought two nice dresses there for the summer and I’ve never looked better! It’s a shame I had to order them online.

As a former employer, they never cared about the plus line, it was poorly amde and never really fitted anyone correctly. No one should ever buy from that line.

[...] a pretty big month for this blog! We found out what kind of customer service we are getting from Ray at Old Navy, and we pissed off a woman (who has taken her blog down, it seems) by asking what happens when [...]

Beth, I appreciate your suggestion that we write to other retailers but, my own woes with ON’s inconsistent sizing aside, Old Navy filled a real niche in the plus size market. I own a huge number of clothes from their store and, quite frankly, just the experience of shopping in the store was a huge boost for me. Because I got to be normal for one damn time in my life. Judge the clothes if you will but please don’t tell us not to be upset about the loss of the clothes just because they were ugly. I get that not everyone goes for that aesthetic but come on. Some of us have found some clothes there that are just to our tastes.

Just FYI, I wrote a post in response to some of the comments in this thread.

I saved the page as an HTML file if they need more than a screen shot. You know, just because.

Well, I see he took his MySpace blog entry down and he also changed his occupation to CS instead of E-mail Customer Service, Gap Inc. Good thing I took a screen shot along with his pic and printed it out. I sent it to Gap Headquarters. They should get it Monday.

WOW that guy is rude! Someone should ask him if he’d prefer it to see some naked “big asses” since he won’t take the time to reconsider and listen to the complaints. He must be getting a lot of them from somewhere so SOMEONE must want the clothing.
