It wouldn't help me if retailers carried a wider range of sizes. My ribcage and shoulders are small, but my breasts are big and my hips are even bigger. I need several sizes in one shirt. The bottoms of most of my shirts stretch out occasionally to the point of popping the hem when I pull them off. I'm between a 16 and 18 in pants (the same measurement that would go for the bottom of a shirt) and when trying on dresses where hip size doesn't matter, even a size 12's shoulder seams and armholes are occasionally too low despite the bust straining against the fabric. I think my bust is about a 14.
I think some larger companies like target would make a lot of money if they offered a service where you could order clothes in their styles but custom made to your measurements for an added fee.... eg I would like a size 12 shirt with the width of a 14 in the bust.
This is technically what i have to do. I order direct from the factories for the length in pants as nowhere sells pants my length.
