With the average American woman weighing in at more than 160 pounds and donning an apparel size of about 14, you'd think mass retailers would wise up and begin to offer larger sizes. Forever 21's taken note and will be debuting a plus-size collection this spring.

Faith 21, as the line will be called, consists of trendy, affordable dresses, tanks, jeans and skirts in both junior plus sizes and regular plus sizes, reports Los Angeles Times.

Fashion-forward, full-figured sistas will be able to pick up the pieces beginning May 1 at prices ranging from $3.50 to $34.80 (man, they're precise). The collection will be available in some stores and online, at Forever21.com.

Check out the preview images above. What do you think, fab or drab?
