Dear Ann Landers, I got a kick out of the reader who thought the "W" in women's sizes meant "Wide Butt." My letter is for every designer of women's clothing in the Western Hemisphere. I pray they will see it and pay attention.
I am 30 years old, wear size 18-20, and I have a question. Why don't designers realize that fat women have fat arms, too? When I find something I like, the sleeves are too short and too tight. The majority of the selections in my size are loud prints, as if people won't see me coming, anyway.
Thanks for letting me air my gripe in your column, Ann. Maybe someone will see it and make some changes. -- Unfit in Kansas
Dear Kansas, You have raised some valid questions, and I, too, hope the designers and dress manufacturers will pay attention.
Hi! It's Margo here. I'd love to know what you think of the letters -- and the answers!
Also, any additional thoughts you might have. Thanks!

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:
Dear Readers, , but not as frequently as they did in their younger years. I am pleased to tell you that such is not the case with me. My wife died a few years ago. I was 67. Several months later, I met an extremely intelligent divorcee with a fantastic figure. We are very close to the same age. I courted her for several months, and we became lovers. On New Year’s Eve, 1982, one of us suggested we put a dollar in an envelope each time we became intimate. We agreed to spend the money in 1983 on something foolishly extravagant. (On January 5, there was already $3 in the envelope.) On New Year’s Eve, 1983, the envelope contained $174. My partner accused me of shorting the envelope by at least $30.1 considered the 7 IS ANN LANIIEIIS accusation a compliment, gave her the entire amount and told her to treat herself to something ridiculous. What does this do to your statis-tics, Annie old girl?
