I've been browsing Ann Taylor and Talbots online recently. While I used to prefer Ann Taylor, recent changes to Talbots' design and price point are appealing to me, as is the fact that they have carry women's sizing. On average, I wear a size 12, but the clothing never looks on me as it does on the 6', size 4 models, though they are gorgeous. I like to check out the same item in plus size, if I can. The models are usually close to my size (which seems unfair to plus size customers), and I get a more "realistic" vision of how the clothing might appear IRL. (Love the dresses posted below)

Allie at Wardrobe Oxygen recommends reading magazines like More and O for similar reasons -- regular clothing on women or varying sizes and ages? http://www.wardrobeoxygen.com/.....cs-no.html

Anyone else do this? Are there sites that show petite models wearing their clothing?
