I'm still waking up so not a lot of thought in this reply (sorry) but plus-petite options are something I always look for. I'm fat, but also short all over. I sometimes drown in plus-specific brands (arm length, shoulders, waist/rise). Just sizing up, if anything over a L or XL is even available, in straight size has its own set of problems. Oh! actual item/flat measurements in addition to a general size chart? I know its time intensive but SO helpful.
