Where has size 12 gone?
The size 12 woman loves her Gap, H&M and Ann Taylor. We can always find and fit into some affordable khakis -- and have our choice of colors and leg lengths. But what if we don't want to look like the woman sitting two seats away from us on the bus? What if we're in the mood to throw some hard-earned cash at some pricey designer clothes from a cute little boutique?
