Lane Bryant, Dress Barn Plus size, The Avenue and Catherine's smallest size is a 14, that's a 14W, which means, I bleieve, 14-women's, which I understand to be a slightly fuller cut than a standard 14. Stores like H&M mostly carry up to a size 14 as the largest, though once I came across a 16 -- that was rare. Some "regular" stores carry plus sizes, like Strawberries, they have a regular department and a "Junior Plus Size." Burlington Coat Factory has a Plus Size Department. Old Navy used to have Plus Size in the stores, but they have removed that line and only sell Plus Size online. I think *Generally Speaking* (not a hard and fast rule) most stores geared to the younger crowd carry up to a size 14 in the "regular" department and from a size 16 up in the Plus Size. Someone I know who is a Plus Size model says all the designers want size 14 models as that is considered a Plus Size in designer clothes. Some designers will accept a size 16 model, but it *almost* unheard of for a designer to accept a plus size model larger than a 16 according to her. She does mostly runway modeling.
