Answers to your Fatshion Searches

Posted by on Jun 15, 2010 in Fatshion | 9 comments

A lot of people come my way from random searches. And I do mean random sometimes (Videos of fat girls eating? Um…not here ladies and gents). And I get a lot of searches from plus size girls that just type in fashion questions and somehow end up at my little end of the interweb. However, I’m not sure they quite find the exact answers to their questions or what they are looking for right away. So, here is a list of my Top 5 Search Engine Terms:

  1. Am I too fat to wear shorts?

    NO! You are not too fat to wear ANYTHING! There is no such thing as being “too fat” period.  So go put on a pair of shorts and stop sweating your summer away. Don’t know wear to find them? Check out my favorites from this post from last week.

  2. Can fat girls wear jumpsuits?

    Fat girls can wear whatever they want, and jumpsuits are definitely one option. Personally, I LOVE jumpsuits. (Except for that animal print one I tried on at Lane Bryant…remember that disaster?)

  3. Rompers for fat girls.

    THEY DO EXIST! You can find cute rompers at Torrid, Sizes to Fit, and alight.com among other places. I’d go with a floral one. However, I have yet to find the perfect romper for myself, because I am starting to believe that I have an unusually long torso. Or a high crotch? I’m unsure.  Now go hunt for rompers and tell me which one works for you…someday it will happen for me.

  4. Plus Size Little Black Dresses

    Ladies, ladies, OF COURSE there are LBDs for fat girls! And a lot of them are pretty hot, too! I have a whole post devoted to them, and some fabulous places to hunt for them are eShakti, which has TONS of LBD options and you can get it custom sized, IGIGI always has great dresses, and Torrid, too.

  5. How can plus sized girls wear leggings?

    With skirts, dresses, shorts, by themselves – wear them anyway you like! Want some examples of people in leggings? Well check out the fabulous Devon over at Fat Nurse in her crusade against a nasty facebook group. You can rock them, too.  For summer,  try out lace leggings for something fun (I got two pairs at Lane Bryant).

    Thanks for the mention girly <3 LEGGINGS ROCK. Actually, everything you mentioned in this post can be pulled off by fat girlies and you've proved it.
    Well done :D Can't wait to crack out the shorts for summer ;) xx

      No problem! I still have to find some shorts….ugh. lol

    OMG! LOVE LEGGINGS! I’m definitely a curvier woman, but I think I’m more of an average size. HOWEVER, after starting roller derby my legs have beefed up like whoa! Leggings are like the answer to the prayers of girls with big legs everywhere b/c somedays jean shopping just makes you feel sad. So on days like that I always grab a cute pair of leggings or even thick, patterned tights. :)

    I have pretty much worn everything listed below. Shorts… check (p.s. Avenue has a great pair of Denim Trouser style shorts that I love and totally recommend you try if you are still looking for shorts) Jumpsuits…. Check! LBD… Check! Leggings…. Check Check Check! If I could get away with living in them I probably would :)

    the only thing that I have to find is a Romper that looks right on me. I have tried a few on, but am still hesitant. But I am determined to find one. hell I though a jumpsuit wouldn’t work and I turned out to be wrong about that…. and a romper is essientally a short jumpsuit.
