I know some people may disagree with me, but the fit is so poor. I was a former fit model and manufacture myself so I know how a plus size garment is supposed to fit. Most of these pieces will go on sale and the company will think it's because plus size women aren't willing to pay the price. There are definitely customers who shop plus sizes at Saks, Bloomies and Neiman's,and Nordstrom's but they're not willing to sacrifice proper fit just to wear the Juicy label.
