( Until the Path Turns Red )

Vest, Cardi, Leggings - Evans
Skirt - Me
Shoes - TUKs
Necklace - Next

Hey everyone! Haven't posted for a while, but I made this skirt today and thought I'd show it off here. My mum recently bought a lovely tweed tulip skirt from Next, and I so wanted it, but of course they didn't come in my size. So I decided to make my own. I got the tweed fabric from Ebay, in a colour that suits me (the one my mum got was brown mainly, which doesn't suit me anyway). It took about 4 hours for me to make, is unlined (because wool is pretty heavy/warm/opaque), and has a button and zipper closure at the back.

I probably wouldn't actually wear the knotted cardigan with this normally, but we are having our bathroom redone, and the new bath is blocking my wardrobe(I use a built in cupboard in the hall), so I had to make do with some clothes that were already in my room. Underneath is just a vest top, but I really hate my arms, so covering with the cardi had to be done. In future I will probably wear this skirt with a plain tshirt, tights and patent pumps, as opposed to the leggings, cardi and kitty shoes.

Okay, I know that I really don't have full bodied pics here....but my hubby and I dressed up for his cousin's wedding and we looked so adorable...so here's what I do have....( Adorableness. )That last one is my favorite.

so i know that this is not fatshion related really, but i trust you fatties more than anyone else to give me good advice, and... perhaps some other people are interested in my question and have not had the chutzpah to ask.

has anyone had any experience with online dating? i know... i know... I KNOW. its online dating, but i'm SERIOUSLY lonely right now, and i have some (skinny) friends who have met a few great guys online and have been having a lot of fun. are there sites that cater to fats looking for dates? i guess if anyone has any general advice in this area... let me know!

thanks all, and love love love.

Hey guys!

Under the cut I have a few pictures that showcase some of my favorite pieces and outfits (plus a few funny photos of bad fatshion growing up!)...Very few of these pics were taken to showcase my outfits though, so use your imagination!



here's the link as I'm having trouble embedding!

I'm sorry for being late with this ;_; and for missing your name the first time last month.

Back in October a group of Chicago fats met up for brunch. We had great food, great conversation and visited Vive la Femme, a plus size boutique here in Chicago. This was my first trip to VLF and it was like I'd stepped into a fairy tale. All the clothes were made for bodies like mine! I was with a group of women who understood the struggles I face when buying clothes. We had show and tell and it was just the best experience. I walked away with the most gorgeous dress - it is the most expensive dress I've ever purchased - even more than prom and bridesmaid dresses, but this dress was like Cinderella's slipper. Three of us tried it on. One girl didn't fill out the top. Another filled it out a little too much. Then in a "what the hell" moment, I tried it on. It fit perfectly. See the dress and an interview outfit under the cut.

Please let me know what you think. Edits are entirely possible. here

Does anyone have experience with this coat from Old Navy? Does it fit true to size?

And this is probably a long shot, but does anyone have these boots (or any Durango boots, really) and know how the calf sizes are? Mine's about a 15-16" and I'd like to make sure those fit before I buy them.

Thanks all!

i am forever buying bras & then ditching them cause they are never right, they poke or slip or just suck. normally i buy a 40dd, the LB girl said i need a 42dd but im pretty sure that would be too big since the 40's are sometimes loose so some of the ones i wear are 38dd's, lol anyway i guess im looking for something between a 38dd -40dd or possibley E :) and im poor, lol so if ya have anything good but fairly cheap let me know

looking for the coat pictured below, willing to purchase in either used/new condition. 3x, from fall/winter '08.

I know the plus size/ not plus size debate is fairly tired, but this really annoyed me. Apparently Glamour Magazine announced that it has already done photoshoots for their issues through February with plus sized models. Their model for December is a size 8! Sorry but I don't care what way you want to spin this, that is NOT plus size. There's the argument that an 8 IS plus sized in the modeling industry, but this magazine isn't made for those people, therefore we shouldn't use their definitions.
