Athleta used to be my favorite clothing store. The amount of money I invested in this company is ridiculous. In the last year, Athleta has quietly been phasing out plus size clothing.

She gave me phenomenal recommendations and went above and beyond to help me in the dressing room, such as bringing me clothes in the appropriate size and things that she felt...
