	860 Lexington Avenue, N.Y., N.Y. 10021.
	(212) 570-APRIL.
	Their large size line is called "April Too." "Their "large" in
	the regular clothing is most appropriate for small midsizes
	(e.g., medium height, about 180 lbs.). Their "April Too" stuff
	would probably be better for large midsizes (e.g., about 260
	lbs.) Laura Ashley-style clothes, but better fabrics. On the
	expensive side.

The Avenue
[chain][women][casual][lingerie][sportswear]
	Phone for finding nearby stores: 800 963 2744
	Web site: http://www.avenue.com
	Mall store run by United Retail Incorporated. By September 1999
	all stores called Sizes Unlimited, Smart Size, Sizes Woman, 14
	Plus, and 16 Plus will be renamed to The Avenue. Casual clothes,
	pantyhose (Gloria Vanderbilt in sizes up to 3 or 4X). Funky
	fashions and basic shorts/jeans/sweats. People seem to disagree
	about what sizes they carry: some say to 24, some say to 32. It
	may vary from store to store. Review 2/97: "Very reasonably
	priced, silky little nightie things to size 32. [...] Also, they
	have certain outfits that I find "younger" than LB. I like their
	lines of underwear lots better than LB, too. [...] I've gotten
	some of my best clothes there over the years." One woman likes
	their pants selection better than Lane Bryant because it is
	"height-proportional." Another person wrote about inconsistent
	sizing in their Avenue-brand clothing.

	year, that our Bountiful clientele is quite diverse. Rather than
	trying to make clothes that are not going to fit you, we suggest
	you inquire about the fashions you are interested in. We keep a
	very small inventory to begin with, so many of our orders are
	made up when we receive them. We only charge about $10 more on
	most Bountiful items and this is truly because we tend to
	receive fabrics that are not very wide and do in fact use more
	yardage for these items. It is not a fat tax! So, please call us
	and let's see what is possible."

	Their regular catalog has some large-size clothing, in
	particular maternity clothing. They fill orders in a few days.
	They are good about returns. You can return catalog merchandise
	to their stores. Some folks have had problems ordering from JC
	Penney's large size and kids' catalogs (many items are sold out
	before the catalog even arrives). Their outlet stores have good
	sales on women's and men's and maternity clothing and offer
	clothing in women's sizes 28-30 and up. Uniforms seen at
	Penney's outlet store, to 5X. Whites and prints. Oct 99
	CATALOGS OFFERED:
	Bridal catalog (their larger stores have bridal departments).
	Fashion Plus catalog

		suits, outerwear, swimsuits, leggings, and split slips.
		Sizes 14W-34W, and also women's talls and petites.
		Swimsuits up to size 26W. Several people say their sizes
		run small. Report: "I think their quality is pretty
		good. They have more what I would call dressey and
		career type clothing and their spring issue also has
		some ethnic prints. Their models, are a decent size,
		bigger than some other women's catalog's models....they
		also carry some of the Delta Burke Collection." 
	JC Penney's Big & Extra Tall Catalog
   		Basic men's clothes -- waists up to 60:, chests up to
		64", necks up to 21", sizes to 4X or 5X. Dress slacks

		thin models.

	Style described as "New England Country." About 1/2 to 2/3 of
	merchandise is available in women's sizes to 28. Generous fit.
	Sweaters, jackets, dresses, and pants are on the expensive side,
	but they have good sales. Overnight shipping on in-stock items.
	Courteous service. High quality clothing. One woman wrote that
	she has worn their clothing for years. Another wrote: "Sometimes
	they may not 'upsize' their designs correctly--for example, a
	sweater will be made wider for the larger sizes, but not longer.
	Unfortunately, you never know when you are going to have this
	problem, since they never use plus-sized models." One woman
	wrote "What I especially liked was that most of the selections
	went from a size 2 to size 3-4X--not special (read: uglier)
	selections for larger sizes....They specialize in natural fibers
	and comfort--slightly funky--yet definitely appropriate for
	work." May 99
