I just would like to know who decided that all plus size women want to wear their pants underneath their boobs.That person better hope I never meet them because I may have to take off my shoe (very cute shoe) and beat them with it. I have an issue with any pair of pants that I have to pull up well above my belly button. It's not cute, it doesn't make us feel sexy or fashionable. I am so tired of trying on clothes that are super baggy and pants that have a crotch that is a foot long. IT'S ANNOYING!! To all of the fashion designers out there please listen to us! If the skinny women of the world want to wear it the more voluptuous women want to wear it too.
I am so tired of being made to feel like there is something wrong with me because I am a bigger woman. I know there are things I want to change, I know why I want to change them. I want to be healthy, I want to be sexy. I don't want to feel like some kind of social deviant because I have extra weight on my frame. Why do people feel it is okay to make comments about the size of a person? Some people don't mean to hurt you with those words but if I said every random thought that popped into my head when I met someone new I probably would have been beaten up several times. I had a guy say to me last week that I was "Very fashion forward for a big girl." I wanted to tell him that he was "very fashion forward for a jack ass that had just escaped the farm". I wanted to punch him right in the neck! Anyways, that's my rant for the moment. I would just like to say that I can guarantee that shoe companies have it made when it comes to making money from larger women, shoes always fit and a good pair of shoes can make you feel like the sexiest person in the room. For those of you that know me well and know my obsession with footwear I hope this has shed some light on why I own so many pairs of shoes. :)
ugh, I must disagree with the shoe comment. As a plus-size girl I find not relief in shoe fashion as the cut-off for cute is one size too small... stupid size 11 feet.
ReplyDeletenext time lay in on him... without the punches of course.
I think the pants thing is because designers keep the same proportion for plus size women that they have for skinny ones--if you're 5'6" with a 24-inch waist, then if you have a 40 inch waist you must be nearly 6 feet tall. I want to kick those types in the unmentionables: I'm not tall. If I were tall, I'd be in the tall section. I'm plus. Plus=round. And no, I do not want a selection of elastic waists and muumuus.
ReplyDeleteI'm also pondering the possibility of boycotting target. THey have cute stuff, but they have a grand total of three racks in the Women's section, which is wedged in between the dressing room and the maternity section. It's a total slap in the face: Here, let's give three acres to people who are legitimately fat, and make you feel even worse for being big." It's only marginally better than putting plus next to petites.
