According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the average height and weight of people living in the United States is higher than in the past. This increase corresponds to a body mass index (BMI) that is classified as overweight. Even though many of the models walking fashion runways are much smaller, sizes 12 and 14 are the sizes that the average American woman are likely to need.
Fortunately Roaman’s carries fashions and footwear for today’s averaged sized women. They carry women’s sizes, petite sizes, and tall sizes (12W – 44W). Roaman’s bras go up to size 56J.

Tia Ghose, staff writer at LiveScience.com, writes that, “Men also didn’t used to be so round in the United States, but lifestyle changes over the last 50 years have made the American population increasingly overweight.” Ghose writes that on average American men have a BMI of 29. According to the same article by Ghose, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention consider a BMI of 29 to be just under obesity.
