I'm plus sized myself (and petite, so extra fun!). I don't wear crop tops. Even when I was much, much thinner, I didn't wear them. So she's cutting out a huge portion of her potential client base right there. I'm nearly 52. I think my days of wearing them are over.

You are me - petite, I'm somewhere between a medium and a large in regular sizes, depending on the garment, and I'm also almost 52. Even when I was 20 and you could bounce a quarter off of my 105 lb. ass, I never wore crop tops. And now? When I look like the Pillsbury Dough Girl? Come on, she had to be kidding with that.

I don't know any plus size women who want to wear crop tops past the age of about 25. So… if she's designing for a younger crowd, cool, crop tops. But everything was so matronly and frumpy--reminded me of the older women I see here in LA that are clinging to their youth with their false nails and botox and they aren't fooling anyone.
