    “These curves are real – they are very spectacular. This is a new study that provides fresh ammunition for women who have been striving for fashion choices for years. American women have long been told that the average size is 14. Wrong! It is actually 16, as revealed in a study published in an international fashion design, technology, and education magazine that examines how retailers view the word “average.” The reports co-author, Susan Dunn, told TODAY that the motivation for the study came from wanting to eliminate shame around larger sizes as a controversial topic. Although the phenomenon of “vanity sizing” from store to store makes it difficult for most women to determine their actual size in tricky clothing items such as jeans and swimsuits, it is no secret that what we find on the shelves is getting smaller and smaller each season – leaving us with unrealistic, tiny options that we cant squeeze into.

This finding comes from body-positive celebrities like Melissa McCarthy launching their own clothing lines to offer more fashion and entertainment options for consumers over size 12.
