Size 28
Shopping for plus size clothes has become much easier but above size 24 and the choice does start to reduce. The reason for this is these sizes are sometimes referred to as "supersizes" and may not be found in the high street stores. Mail order is certainly the way to go, however, with catalogues like Kays having Size 28, infact they have a specialised section going right up to size 32!

High fashion not interested in size 28?
Many fashion designers have snubbed plus size clothing, but this is gradually improving. Designers that have included plus size lines like Geoffrey Beene, Givenchy, Adrienne Vittadini and Liz Claiborne should be commended.
It would be nice to think that these designers have seen the beauty of the "larger" women, but it is just as likely that they have seen that there is a huge industry that cannot be ignored.
Labelling Plus Size Clothing
Generally plus size clothing is labelled either numerically (14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32); by using the letters 'X' and 'XL' and a numeral together (i.e. X, 1X, 2X, XL, 1XL, 2XL, etc); or with the designer's own system of sizing which is conceived with the philosophy of reducing stigma attached to body size. Sometimes the letter 'W' appears after the numeral (i.e. 14W) as an abbreviation for 'Women', however this is a trait of mainly U.S. designers and is not an internationally-adopted practice. The majority of brands employing the 'X' sizing policy produce garments up to size 3X/3XL. The 'XL' is an abbreviation of 'Extra Large'.
