PlusSize.com, a Cincinnati company that runs a Web shopping site for people of greater girth, rates admiration from the folks at Internet Retailer magazine.

        In its latest issue, Internet Retailer named PlusSize.com as one of 15 honorable mentions in the Web-retailing universe. The magazine's one-line compliment? “Makes shopping for a difficult item easy.”

        PlusSize.com, founded and run by Jeff Recker, is hooking up with another company to launch a virtual dressing room this month. It claims it will be an Internet first.

        Internet Retailer recognized 25 companies for its Top Retail Web Sites for 2002.
