Bad plus size clothing


Bad plus size clothing

So, we decided that something has to be done about the overflow of horrendous plus-size clothing out there. Our master plan is to start a clothing line and pattern company dedicated to beautiful, fashionable, and flattering looks for women that can't squeeze into juniors and don't want to look like Grandma.

Step 1: Identify the offending garments. This picture will hopefully be one of many as we travel around and snap photos of the clothing the big manufacturers expect us to wear. Just looking at this picture, it should be obvious why most women larger than a size 0 have a negative self image. How can you look in the mirror and think "I look fantastic" when you're wearing this? There is no redeeming feature of this top. The body has no shape to it, the rhinestones are horrendous, and that solid striping makes it look like she's wearing a backpack! The arms cut off at the wrong point, and they are much too wide. They actually give the illusion of fatter arms.

Okay, I could go on and on, but I'll stop there. More to come...
