The biggest challenge facing the fashion industry is translating patterns to a larger size. Luxury brands often do not offer extended sizes, due to cost. But technology will eventually mitigate this problem.

Opportunity

The growth of the plus size clothing market has caused a number of brands to shift their focus towards this segment. Some of the biggest names in the industry are now offering a variety of styles for women and men.

Plus Size

The plus size clothing market is growing quickly. Currently, there are more than 23% of the female population in the United States that is a size 14.
This is a large demographic that has not been properly catered to. The retail industry needs to start making an effort to cater to the new demographic, and gain a competitive advantage.
Having a plus size range in your fashion arsenal is a good idea. Not only are you catering to an emerging consumer base, you're also attracting more and more interest in the wider fashion industry.

Several retailers are taking it a step further by expanding their plus size offerings, such as Boohoo, Missguided and ModCloth.

The latter is particularly relevant since it’s one of the biggest online retailers of plus size clothing.

One of the most important aspects of any plus size range is sizing. In the UK, the average dress size is 16. There’s also the Mid-Sized Fashion (MSF) category, which includes sizes from US8 to UK10.
