One size fits some, the rest are on your own.

I just got off the phone with someone dress shopping for my wedding.

After making an appointment at Nordstrom for her to meet with "dress specialist" she left discouraged and disappointed at the selection for a woman who is a size 16.

Are there only Mother's of the Brides that are sizes 2-8?

By American standards, the average woman is a size 14.  Do you want to know what the most commonly purchased size is... shouldn't it be 14?  Nope, an 8.  Read it.

I am a 4, so are a lot of women in the NY Metro area, meaning that I am often left longing for a dress that isn't available.  Not really big deal, eventually they'll get more, or have it at another store, or online.

I can't imagine how I would feel if they didn't CHOOSE to carry my size, even if it's considered the average size.  Some nerve.
