EYE OPENER.</p> <p>Re: shopping together, this is one of the reasons I love thrift stores -- no size segregation. Also, size availability tends to more accurately reflect the community at large, at least IME. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sharing-link-from-ryce-finally#post-1845908 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 10:52:22 +0000 Staysfit 1845908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hooray!

I thought that was such a shame that friends could not shop together. And I have said for years that retailers can stick to whatever sales model they want, but they are missing out on a huge market and potentially huge sales by ignoring plus-sized women.&nbsp;</p> <p>Realistically, they market things to <i>children</i>, who have no buying power whatsoever except to nag their parents. And they cannot sell in-demand items to a market that is clambering for them? It's absurd.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sharing-link-from-ryce-finally#post-1845823 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 23:10:29 +0000 rachylou 1845823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good article. That's really true about shopping together. I've thought about that - being kept out of stores because of my size. Or going to one section and not to another. I actually will wander all the sections by my lonesome and then think it would be nice if the cute stuff came in all the sizes... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sharing-link-from-ryce-finally#post-1845809 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 21:41:35 +0000 Anonymous 1845809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are lovely pieces, Nadya.<br />I wish more companies would embrace the shopping model you describe at the pop-up store. &nbsp;I do a lot of shopping on-line, ordering multiple sizes and styles to try, because I know there is a significant chance that when I go to any store, they won't have my size in stock in the item I want. &nbsp;If I knew I'd get to see and touch all colors and fabrications and try on my size, I'd be delighted and probably tempted to purchase more. &nbsp;As you apparently were! &nbsp;<br />Your choices are very pretty - I hope you enjoy them all as much as the piece you already have! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sharing-link-from-ryce-finally#post-1845758 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 18:10:35 +0000 Thistle 1845758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the fact that they're finally listening!</p> <p>I love options! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sharing-link-from-ryce-finally#post-1845755 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 17:59:42 +0000 Nadya 1845755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hurray! Thanks for pointing this out, <b>Angie</b> and <b>Ryce</b>. </p> <p>Universal Standard launched a few years ago selling modern clothing with a minimalist aesthetic in sizes 10 and up. I'd been eying them for years and recently bought a shirt from them that I liked. I was delighted that they're doing a series of pop up shops around the country and yesterday I had a chance to shop in person in Portland!</p> <p>The shop basically had one of every style in every size, and if the style came in more than one color all colors were represented, though not in every size. I tried on over a dozen items and selected a few (cough!). Everything will be shipped to me.&nbsp;</p> <p>It was such a delight to be able to try things on in person. For my preferred fits, I'm not the same size in every style, and I could try on multiple sizes on and see which I preferred. The staff were friendly as were the other customers as we admired each other's try ons.&nbsp;</p> <p>I heard them say that some Nordstrom stores will start carrying this line in store; right now Nordstrom only have some it online. &nbsp;(You can buy the full line at the company's site.) At least to start, Seattle will carry it, but not Portland.&nbsp;</p> <p>And if you're in the market for merino, their merino is fabulous - soft and luxurious and not at all itchy. I'm looking forward to my new pretties! The black wrap top was my one online purchase and I wore it to give a talk for work recently. It is a little fussy to get the wrap right, but the drama of the giant wrap was worth it for me.&nbsp;</p> <p>That long dress is a dark emerald green, not black.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sharing-link-from-ryce-finally#post-1845753 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 17:54:19 +0000 Anonymous 1845753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're listening to you, Angie!
