Katie Sturino is still looking for an answer to why plus size in-store expansions fail. In the first episode of this series, ‘Why is plus size fashion failing?’ Katie discovered the disconnect between data showing demand for plus sizes IRL and in-store sales numbers that don’t meet those projections.  Katie speaks with two anonymous guests who worked at national clothing retailers that oversaw the ultimately failed launch of plus sizes nationwide, breaking down the time and effort and care that goes into an extended size launch. Even with the best of plans, these retailers still couldn’t figure out how to successfully launch plus size nationwide. In this episode we find out what went wrong.  Special thanks to our anonymous guests for speaking with us, you know who you are!    You can follow Katie on Instagram at @katiesturino and @megabababe Have any questions or comments?

It's been 9 years since Katie Sturino began talking about fashion for women of all sizes. In many ways, a lot has changed since then. The conversation has made its way to mainstream media, advertising campaigns, and brands focused on creating a full size range have been born.  But have we seen the peak of fashion's acceptance for larger bodies? Big retailers like Old Navy and Loft have swung and missed. Contemporary brands like Staud and ALC have quietly launched extended sizes that disappeared before getting any traction. And now Katie wants to know what’s going wrong. This is the first episode of a THREE PART SERIES exploring the past, present, and future of the plus size fashion industry.  Special thanks to Our guests Helen Nightingale and Hitha Herzog for speaking with us. You can find Hitha Herzog at @hithaherzog on instagram and @hithaherzog on twitter, www.hithaherzog.com, and check out her book Black Market Billions on audible.  You can follow Katie on Instagram at @katiesturino and @megabababe Have any questions or comments?

We’re told to be one particular shape and size, but we’re also told to love ourselves as is.
