Plus-size Shops: Thin Models, Strange Names
18 comments on Plus-size Shops: Thin Models, Strange NamesThis is something we get so used to seeing that after a while it hardly registers. Sociological Images did a great post with images from Woman Within showing how size 12-14 clothes on size 8-10 models looks … really loose and shapeless. This is why I’m glad to see Lane Bryant using some larger models […]

Virtual Window Shopping: SWAK
[Virtual Window Shopping is looking at supersize / extended size clothing that I think is nifty. Preferably modeled by fat people.] Does the blue-and-white top at right look like a “crew neck” to you? Because — while I like the top, which is from Sealed With A Kiss Designs (SWAK for short) I gotta say that looks […]

Virtual Window Shopping: New at Making it Big
[Virtual Window Shopping is looking at supersize / extended size clothing that I think is nifty. Preferably modeled by fat people.] In the last few years I’ve been acquiring more tie-dye shirts. I think it’s partly that they tend to be a subtly variegated pattern, and I prefer the subtle patterns (at least in everyday life […]

Virtual Window Shopping: Hammock, Anyone?
This hammock at Living XL and rated to 600lbs. Of course, when add you the hammock and the stand together it’s $390 plus shipping (if you’re feeling self-indulgent you can add the weather-resistant pillow for another $70). They also have a wooden stand (450lb capacity) which looks similar to one at Frontgate. Of course, then I […]

Bras, Exercise and Other Body Vagaries
My 44DDD Lilyette #908 (also known as Cortland #7101) bras were getting worn and riding up the back. Riding up the back usually means the band is too long, but as they were also visibly worn I figured I just needed non-stretched-out ones. My Elomis are fitting better, but the underwires come right up to my […]

Preferably modeled by fat people.] Big On Batik has lots of yummy things on sale, including their sweetheart top, scoop tee, and handkerchief top — not to mention dresses and Hawaiian-style shirts. Big On Batik has been an internet store catering to […]

Virtual Window Shopping: Hourglass, Apple, Pineapple, Pear…
Shades of Right Fit Jeans! Junonia has come out with a series of sport pants in 4 different cuts, in sizes 1X to 6X, and 3 different lengths. Nice, eh? Well…sort of. You see, they’re not giving any custom sizing for them — just talking about cut in the description. Has it perhaps not occurred […]

What’s Up With You?
Hi y’all. Feel like it’s been a while since I had a real post. So. Still here. Still fat. What’s changed: Started walking again. The hip pain I referenced about 10 days ago? Still here. Still decreasing, thank heavens, but still here. I took nearly two weeks off from walking every day. I have begun […]

Virtual Window Shopping: Sanctuarie Va-Voom
[Looking at supersize / extended size clothing which is to say, clothing I can wear. Preferably modeled by fat people.] Sanctuarie’s princess-seamed dress and wrap might work for Valentine’s Day. Or clubbing. I’m not feeling quite enough love to buy a dress that would require a strapless bra, but it is nice to see a dressy […]

Wardrobe Adjustments
Part of why I started the virtual window shopping posts is that I’m not buying a lot of clothing right now. But I have been changing my wardrobe: I’ve been adjusting it. Or perhaps I should say altering it. See, I had a pair of pants that had sprouted “wear holes” at the top […]
