Sample Sale/Close-out Sites

I am a member of several sample sale/close-out sites (ideeli, hautelook, gilt group, ruelala). With the exception of Rue La La, these sites NEVER EVER EVER have plus size clothing available. Rue La La does so once in a great loooooong while. They had some Anne Klein suits (snapped one up!) not too long ago, and I remember a Marina Rinaldi boutique at one point as well.

But what really gets me is that even when these sites feature a designer who DOES have a plus-size line, 95% of the time, there will be NO plus-size clothing on offer. I realize they sell what they can get, but perhaps these sites could try harder to find some designer clothing for the plus-size woman who prefers NOT to shop at places like Lane Bryant, Fashion Bug, or The Avenue.

Recently, Rue La La has had Calvin Klein and Sweet Pea by Stacy Fratti sales. I wear lots of clothes by BOTH of these designers, but there were absolutely no plus size options available.

It's really annoying. As a plus size woman, you have to have the time to spend 50 times more research on clothes shopping than a woman who does not wear plus sizes. So you'd better believe that when I see something good, I snap it up immediately. And that's the thing, sale sites and designers. Doesn't my fat, fat, fat money spend just as well as the Size 0 women's money???????
