To go with my previous post about being "Thin Enough for Fashion" -- I was browsing a plus sized part of a website only to be smacked in the face by a whole lot of ugly. What is the point of having so many plaid shirts-- not only that but UGLY plaid shirts? Did Al Borland have a garage sale (I don't think so, Tim)? Has Paris Hilton been showing up in the back 9 barn making hoe downs all the rage? YUCK!
Plus sized department: I'm embarrassed enough for you! STOP THE INSANITY! Ask any woman of any age or size if this is the ideal outfit-- something that makes her feel sexy-- and I'd venture to say every single woman could find something that would make her feel sexier.

Every piece of clothing I buy makes me feel sexy and like a woman (as much as possible). Literally every piece of clothing I have I feel like I could wear on a date and feel like a complete woman (t-shirts included). -- If it's not helping your cause it's hurting it.
I'm not trying to pick on this store-- because the problem is much larger than that-- it's a bias against larger women. Think how great a fashion forward plus sized store would do? Think how much happier women would be about their bodies if they could wear just as cute clothes as the next girl.

wow they sure are ugly, i dont understand why plus size companies make this trash. even the bras are horrendous in beige, brown or black...no pretty colors like the small girls, its baffling. I guess they think bigger girls dont like cute stuff? And they wonder why the stuff doesnt sell good post!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I totally agree! Even stores like Old Navy, that could easily translate the clothes over to plus size, seem to fail. (they have some good options but a lot of WTF options). Lane Bryant tries, but boy can it fail!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, this made me think of a woman I worked with years ago who thought that plaid shirts two sizes too big were appropriate office attire. That's all she ever wore; maybe this is why!
ReplyDeleteI don't understand either why it's so hard to find flattering plus size clothes. I love what you said about making sure everything you buy makes you feel sexy; I really strive for that too but sometimes it's so hard. I've found myself stuck in the position so many times of shopping last-minute for an event or a new job and having to settle for what would fit just to have something to wear, regardless of how ugly it was.
I dont get it either.
ReplyDeleteif even for all the WRONG REASONS (the allure of money) youd think there would be a plethora of options out there.
people are longing for it.
