I’m a fan of that story too. I recently went on a rage tear on a Title Nine FB ad for their absolute lack of inclusive sizing. They often don’t even carry XL. So if you’re fat, you can’t also be active? 😤

Their catalog is all carbon copy versions of a thin, toned person. Mix it up people.

*sigh* Anyhow. Samesies on not being able to wear the cute little outfits my friends did when younger. Which has left me with a lifelong hatred of shopping (and bitter angst at Title Nine, clearly).

I've always been fat, although I finally have attained a weight I'm sticking with, 150 pounds on my 5'6" big frame. I have found a few labels that can be worn on a large rectangular frame as long as I check the bust measurements. And confidence is the key. Nobody is going to nominate me for. Best dressed anything and only one human male has ever expressed An interest. But after a long life of working on it, I have no Fucks to give. I'm wearing pants with elastic waists and tops and dresses from MarketplaceIndia.com. I'll never fit in, but I like my clothes and I wish you the same.
