Celebrities have also helped to champion the growth of the plus-sized clothing movement. Rapper/actress Queen Latifah, supermodel Emme, and television personality Oprah have all presented more positive images of full-figured fashion in the media. Comedian Mo'Nique even launched the first-ever nationally televised plus-size beauty pageant last year.
Mintel estimates that the plus-size market will grow more than 10 percent in the next five years. In addition, more stores will look at offering more extended size options for consumers. There continues to be a great growth opportunity in the plus-size catalog and Internet sectors, and companies have a chance to increase their revenue in these areas.
