I don’t either, but my car was being serviced for 3 hours, and the dealership is 40 minutes from my house so it didn’t really make sense to get a loaner car and drive home. So I walked around the damn mall and spent more on random crap than on the car service 😂.

I had no actual opinion on it. It was just the first time I had seen it.

Sounds like a good thing. Plus size people want to see what clothing looks like on a body too. In fact, I would dare say that plus size clothing hanging on a hanger is more deceiving than misses size clothing on a hanger, therefore the plus sizes need mannequins more so.

People come in all shapes and sizes. It makes sense that mannequins would.

Well... that depends. Are they doing it to show certain styles that are more flattering to plus size bodies or are they doing it to be PC and not “offend” people?

A large percentage of Americans wear plus sizes. Plus size mannequins are smart things for retailers to utilize. It has nothing to do with showing styles that are more flattering or being PC. It's all about making sales.

It's fine with me. What looks good on a size two won't look good on me.

Well, it should be about showing more flattering styles for plus size people.
