What Is Plus-Sized?

Re: What Is Plus-Sized?

  • Yeah I tried to buy a one-piece bathing suit one summer cuz i had a nasty scar on my stomach and I was trying to let it heal. One-pieces are NOT made for short people. Every single one I tried on, the crotch was almost down to my knees. If I took the straps up to fix that, then the neckline was like a turtle neck. I'm proportionally small all over, so anything made for "normal" size people or tall people is just never gonna fit me, and sometimes alterations aren't possible. So it ain't that easy being tiny! 
    I never tried to buy a one piece before as an adult, so that's interesting! I always got my one pieces from Sports shops instead of beach ones and these fit extremely well. And I'm as small as you are :)

    I can commiserate with the pant lengths. WTF are these pants made for? I'm 5'2" and sometimes even the short length is too long. 
    Yeah, I'm usually a size 0 and I get so mad when the pants are tight on me and also way too long cuz then I'm like "who the fuck is SKINNIER than me and way taller?! What human exists that way?!" 
    Let's start a club Novella. I'm a 0 as well and them pants are too long sometimes, WTF

    ETA: @Nymeru Ironically, my wedding dress is the only thing that's a perfect fit for me, no alterations needed because the size 0 is being respected to proportions. If I buy a size 0 anywhere else that's not bridal it's always too big! It's frustrating, so I have the opposite concern :)
    You can all come hang out with me in juniors, where the pants are not too long but instead have bizarre design choices and sparkly pockets.

    I've been saying for a couple years that I need to find out where all the fashionable Asian women in my office tower get their clothes because they all look beautiful and tailored and their PANTS FIT and maybe I could find some too made for my odd-length legs? Maybe?

    Clearly all this proves is that mass-produced fashion doesn't really fit anyone right, though.

    Do you have a Uniqlo? It's a Japanese brand. My husband has a very small build and that's where he buys his clothing. I am 5'6 and a size 8, not very curvy and I can't fit into any of their pants because I'm too "curvy" haha. The best part is that all of their pants have unfinished hems-and hemming is free! So you get all your pants at the right length, usually you pick them up within 24 hours. And their prices are very reasonable. 
    This is awesome! We don't have one anywhere up here as far as I know but I will definitely, definitely put it on my list to look out for when I travel! Thanks!
    Ouuh it seems they have one in London or they definitely deliver in the UK. I shall check some out! Thanks!

    ETA: I Just checked out the site and it's really not my style :(
