Venezia Victims No More: Cool Clothes for Larger Ladies

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"

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”

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.

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 good
Thick 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

torrid bombshell skinny jeans are the best!!!!

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.

lol otm

torrid gave me a $25 off jeans coupon for future use & i am pretty sure i’m going back for another pair

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?

good to know!
