Where are all the Bloomies Plus Models?

Everyone who knows me knows that I love fashion. Even more than fashion I love black models. So I get excited when I see my favorites ones - like Sessilee Lopez pictured here.

But something is so wrong when she is used in an advertisement for plus sizes.

My new love is online shopping! As I am browsing through the Bloomies site I finally find the "plus section" and I recognize this face. My first thought is, well maybe the web designer made a "boo-boo" and she and this little itty bitty jacket don't belong here. So I clicked on size and what do you know - 1x, 2x, 3x.

At this point I am totally scratching my head. The model, Sessilee Lopez, is probably a size 2-4. Where are the plus models? Could Bloomies not find any plus models? Perhaps this is in effort to save a few dollars because the same jacket is listed in sizes XS- XL. Or maybe Bloomies assumes we, the consumers, aren't that smart?

Your thoughts?!
