Terre Jacobs moves into plus size

Terre Jacobs is heading into plus size extending her sophisticated sportswear. The Los Angeles-based designer is embracing the trend of expanding size ranges and plans to extend her regular line by adding more sizes.

"The market is ready for contemporary brands in larger sizes. It shouldn’t be relegated to a few retailers or a forgotten section of the floor,” Jacobs told WWD. Jacobs' line Feel the Piece is available in sizes XS to XL currently. The extended line will be entitled FTP3 and will start at size 16. Due to her personal experience with others who are plus size, including her sister, Jacobs decided to move into the new market.

The collection includes graphic tees, contemporary blouses, cashmere tops, floral prints, and more. With clothing retailing approximately around 250 dollars, the clothes will remain at the same price point for the extended size range. The new plus size extension will be available along with the spring 2018 collection.
