I know, right? My coworkers are always telling me how nice/fancy I dress because I almost always wear dresses but it is 99% a time and effort saving thing.

Ok.

There are not as many plus sized people, therefore there is less demand for plus sized clothing

Plus, they somehow manage to make an entire line of clothing in sizes 0-12 already, right? I refuse to believe it’s THAT MUCH of a big deal to add on plus sizes.

Right, this is why I was confused when I read that in the article. Also see: why I hate the “But it uses more fabric!” argument for why a plus size dress costs twice as much as its non-plus twin in the same store.

That’s why I still buy occasionally from eShakti, even though they’ve gotten more expensive recently/stopped having as many sales. They have lots of 100%/almost 100% cotton dresses and I live in south Georgia so I totally know how stupid polyester clothes in 10000% humidity is.

I’ve used Gwynnie Bee in the past and the process is really simple. You do need to check the size chart on everything you pick since you’re shopping lots of different brands; I noticed that I would be way different sizes in different brands. This is my referral link for your first month free (I think you get the…

I just posted a comment with this list of plus size women’s clothing retailers, but thought it might be helpful to you :)

Hey plus size women’s clothing wearers, this list of plus size clothing retailers is pretty awesome. Disclaimer, I didn’t make the list.

The Marquess who was marquess-ing in the late 19th century probably *was* distracted, he was a major patron of religious and academic architecture as well as travelling all over the place and collecting lots of cool shit. In fact, I wonder if he is the one who originally acquired this FF, he had major historic book…

Same, even though I am a moderate Bronte fan.

I do like the cut of this Mary Taylor’s jib. But then —

No, I definitely agree that it is *hard to find good-fitting plus sized clothes*. I’ve been plus sized my entire life. I disagree with the ad that my fat body is the problem. Like, designers are capable of making clothing that fits a variety of body sizes and types, but they...don’t. That’s why a fat figure is “hard…

SERIOUSLY.

Um, there is nothing that is harder to fit about my plump figure than a thin one. It’s hard for me to find clothes that fit because they’re not being made, not because fat women are intrinsically “hard to fit”

Also a librarian and they were a sleeper for me, too. I’d never heard of them until a friend wrote a piece on Ferrante’s depiction of Naples for a travel blog, then all of a sudden it seemed like I kept seeing them everywhere on the book blogs I read (I assume both things happened because one was recently published,…

I’m sorry you lost your kitty (also sorry you no longer share space with Winston, I hadn’t known). He sounds like he was the ultimate cat combination of cuddly and asshole.

The brown embroidered one she’s wearing walking in the garden!

Same, although I don’t live in MA anymore, I grew up in the Berkshires and never saw anything stronger than the weed all the landscapers/ski area employees were smoking all day long. I had no idea drug use, especially a heroin epidemic, was even an issue there.
