To launch JCPenney’s plus-size boutique, we asked influential, self-proclaimed “fat girls” to talk about society’s attitude towards their bodies.

They didn’t hold back. Neither did the media storm that followed.

  • ADWEEK AD OF THE DAY: “FORGET PLUS SIZE. JCPENNEY JUST BRAVELY STOOD UP FOR FAT GIRLS.”

  • FEATURED IN COSMOPOLITAN: “I’LL BUY WHATEVER THEY’RE SELLING WHEN THEY DO IT LIKE THIS.”
