…a woman is overweight, doesn’t mean she wants to bury herself behind a tent. Believe it or not some women still want to look hot and fashionable – if all the skinny girls are wearing neon leggings then dammit fat people should be able to as well if they want to, right?
Plus size clothing in my experience is not only more expensive, which makes sense I guess as more material needs to be used, but also usually unflattering and not in keeping with the latest trends.
When I was overweight there was no worse feeling than having to go shopping for something knowing that I’d usually come away feeling crappy about myself because nothing in the ‘regular’ stores would fit or look right on me.
I wish I had known about PlusSizeFix.com back then, they have loads of gorgeous and fashion forward items for the bigger ladies – shopping on a site like that would be a much more encouraging experience and really highlights that you don’t need to be stick thin to look great.
I struggled so much to get a dress I felt confident in for my brothers wedding a few years ago, but they have loads of beautiful ones that I would have been proud to wear and looked great in
