the only pair of dress pants I have came from the Jones New York outlet -- not sure how big their sizes go, these were a very generous size 16

this dress is on clearance. I tried it on at the store months ago when it was more expensive, and it was a bit too form fitting ... but part of me is wondering, should i just jettison all the fucks given about this

I know! I want those--I'm technically not plus-sized but my proportions are those of a plus-sized woman, shrunk down.

They're so good right? I've been eyeing Gabi Fresh's swimsuit line. Her suits come 12-24 and I'm a 12. I'm a little worried the cups might be too big but I think I'll take the plunge anyway.

Also, I've never worn a bikini in my life but I think I might wanna try it so we'll see.

Also, I follow this model on IG because she's hot as hell and I love her confidence and she's just released a line with a store called boo hoo. Some of the pieces are pretty killer.

The new greater coverage bikini bottoms that have come out of this plus-sized bikini advance are MANNA FROM HEAVEN. The reason not to wear two-pieces has always been the poorly designed bottoms!
― Orson Wellies (in orbit), Tuesday, 31 March 2015 13:45 (nine years ago) link
Yes!!! That is what is so exciting about it to me. :)

I am semi-addicted to thredUP?
One of the problems is that they will categorize as "plus size" anything that is labeled "XL" ... and it seems like, more and more, that designers are moving from numbered sizes to S/M/L, etc. so XL is becoming the equivalent to a size 10 or 12? So there's this weird mix of more "old style" designers where a 3XL is very large, like 50+" waist, and others where a 3XL is a size 16. This isn't just a thredUP problem, it's a problem for all sites with a size filter option that carry clothing by multiple designers.

thoughts on garments that tie at the waist or have large bows in the waist area?
― sarahell, Monday, 22 October 2018 17:15 (five years ago) link
personally I avoid bcz I hate adorning or signposting or otherwise drawing attention to my nonexistent waist. and I’m not a huge bow fan.
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 22 October 2018 17:28 (five years ago) link
same! my biggest "concern" is that someone would see me in said outfit, and think, "oh how sweet, she has a bow around her waist because she's so proud of her babby to be and wants everyone to notice that she is pregnant"
― sarahell, Monday, 22 October 2018 17:29 (five years ago) link
exactly

90% of my wardrobe ties at the waist.It suits me b/c I am hourglassy, also solves many fit problems that come with being over 5’10”
― mom tossed in kimchee (quincie), Monday, 22 October 2018 21:55 (five years ago) link
But my bows are more tie than bow, or I swap for a wide cinch belt. A big boofy bow is not something I would necessarily go for. Though I did get married in a wrap dress with a bow.
― mom tossed in kimchee (quincie), Monday, 22 October 2018 21:58 (five years ago) link
yeah -- the waist tie thing is good for hourglassy, or at least pear shaped figures. Like, now I look at various designs of plus size clothing, and see that many of them would be flattering to other figure types, but not mine.
Like I'm seeing a lot of dresses with color-blocking that have dark colors on the sides, and white or brighter colors in the middle, and I think, I would want the exact opposite, but I don't have that much in the way of hips

New jeans who dis :D Got two pairs of Torrid “bombshell skinny” jeans (these names i swear) and they fit SO goodThick material, high waist with wide elastic band and noooooo gaping in back I snapped and threw away my shitty Target ‘Ava & Viv’ skinny jeans last night. They were awful, i dont know why i tried to wear them for as long as I did. high in front/low in back lightweight denim, fall down constantly. a nightmare. they never stayed up on my “undulating waterslide” shaped body lol
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 9 March 2019 21:50 (five years ago) link
torrid bombshell skinny jeans are the best!!!!
― sarahell, Sunday, 10 March 2019 01:03 (five years ago) link
I like the Pixie cut from Old Navy, and they had them in a lobster print. I love them so much.
I saw a bunch of friend this week when I was wearing them and they said nothing, so I hate them all now.

they often have great sales online -- like the nearest store to me is in the suburbs -- i think it's the Sun valley Mall in Concord?
