My whole life, the options for plus-size clothing were relegated to a dim corner of a department store — tent-like tunics, billowing pleated pants, blazers with bizarre proportions, and a monochromatic palette of gray, light gray and charcoal gray. No more! In Nashville, plus-size folks like me can walk into The Extended Shop and try on every garment. The shop covers an array of styles and moods up to size 5X, and owner Amy Skerratt is thrilled to help you find that little black dress, business-casual suit, flowing caftan or whatever you’re looking for. No sorting through straight sizes. No eye-rolling sales associates. No “Our plus sizes are only online.” And the lighting in the dressing room is great.
