PLUS SIZE CLOTHING

I am wondering when the memo went out to plus size clothing companies and fashion designers about fat women wanting shirts with like....glitter, sequins, odd art images in strange places? As if we do not feel awkward enough why don't you roll us around in glitter glue and (not really) skinny jeans?
Fang Sequin Tank from Fashion BugExample #1: This "Fang Sequin Tank" from Fashion Bugicon is "an affordable way to make that night out look fabulous as ever. It’s a jersey knit tank that features sequins all over. It ties at the waist and has adjustable straps. Wear it with a dark pair of skinny jeans, a black skirt or even your black pants. Don’t hesitate with grand plans because you lack the look. Sequins are BIG this year and there are so many ways to wear them." STOP IT! No. If you want to scream big girl then wear "spaghetti" strap tank tops. Don't ruin a night out by looking like trash.
Guaranteed awkward fat spillage.



Switch for class. Seriously. No one wants to see our back fat and over the top cleavage.  Fatties can still look slamming hot in tank tops- done right! See below:  Another from Fashion Bug- this screams classy! Love the top to camouflage the love handles and rolls. The magic of elastic bands right below the chest is pure genius. A great way to direct attention away from that floppy belly.  No weird fattiness hanging out in places it shouldn't be. And, come on? Can you ever go wrong with black pants and heels? This outfit goes up to a size 30 for all fat girl knock outs.

This is what it is like shopping for plus size clothing, right?: "Wow! I am at the store! Look at all these adorable outfits for women! Size: 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12. Hmm.....I do not see any cute clothes in my size. I guess I will move over to the plus size section. Wow! Look at all these floral print mu-mus and oddly cut jeans." Or better summed up this way:
And can we talk about size 0? Seriously. SIZE ZERO. Some stores even have DOUBLE ZERO....so what are you? Nothing? Go eat a sandwich.
