Crap fat clothes.. For fall

:: a note for the "nice police", I get that some people will like some/part/all of the clothing I have chosen to write in a sarcastic manner about. That's fine you can like the clothes. But I don't. I am in no way criticizing you or your fashion choices. I am simply stating my opinion about these items. Don't agree? peachy. don't like this post? Read something from before, or come back for my next one. I will delve deeper into my dislike for what clothing offerings get given to us fat people. And why I write sarcastically about clothing::


When I typed the title for this blog it auto corrected fall to fail.. Seems my internet is starting to think like me!

So this Is going to be a photo heavy post of just a few of the more sad things I have found for fall clothing for fat people.. I didn't have to go far to find sad examples of shit choices.. This isn't even the tip of the iceberg.

Lets start this with a trip to ASOS:
I do like some/most? of their clothing so don't get me wrong. But some of their style choices confuse the crap out of me.
Lets see how far the pendulum swings shall we?

Don't mind me I just have some serious shoulder studs to keep the pigeons off.



And then you get something cute like this dress:

or you get this..

Cause a "cold shoulder plaid shirt dress" is all the rage
I love looking like I fell out of bed in the morning, after being ravaged by wolves..



Anyone else feel like we are in high school gym class??

Class it up with some heels.. who wants to run the mile??



Wow we hit normal, well made and can work on a variety of bodies.. 




Only to fall into the pit of leather sausage casings. 

The elastic back totally sells this look. I love having saggy weird looking butt.


.
 Look Ma! You too cam wear your sweats as overalls! 
The no back pocket thing will make your ass look big and lumpy, and the camel toe will be epic but whatever.. Fatshion!

OOO new this season, after the success of the grey sack, we have the floral option. Still no back pockets, but the new pattern helps mask the camel toe.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our next stop takes us to:  Old Navy. Where they have almost completely given up proper sizing, construction, fit, style and fabric choices.


I can't tell who is wearing the potato sack of a dress worse; 
the poor girl in the photo or the headless plastic mannequin?? 

 Look potato sack now comes in a print!
Seriously old navy, step up your game just a little! Great that you carry a variety of sizes (whether intentional or not so) But I would love to see better construction, and less sack. Thanks!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ahh our last stop on the snark train is: Horrid Torrid.

hideous lace, or eyelet tap shorts anyone?  Come on you know you want to dress like Nana on her cruise!







How about a matching floral jacket and top? 'Cause nothing is better camouflage, than big floral print on a fat girl.  
It looks like this print is going to be big with the teenage middle management set! "Oh my god; I'm like such an adult!" (this would look smashing with the shorts above)





How about the jacket equivalent of a mullet only reversed? 
Business in the back (tailored, nice clean cut).
Fuckin' Party in the front! Badly cut, no semblance of tailoring, studs/sequins, off center zipper.
looking at this makes me feel like I'm  coming off a black out drunk.






















Speaking of blackout drunk;
Whose idea was it to do band shirts for teenagers (of bands they don't listen to?)

I'll give you a maybe, to Sublime. like if their older brother/uncle/aunt is 26-45, then maybe they know who Sublime was. And they have listened to: "You know that one cd with the tattoo on it". 

The Grateful Dead: I have serious doubts about. For the sake of argument, I will also give you a maybe. They might listen to the Dead.  

But Rush?!? Really?? Have you ever seen how empty a women's bathroom is at a Rush concert?? Not to mention the average age of a Rush fan. Do not even try to convince me that the market demographic of Torrid listens to Rush. It just isn't likely at all! 
"Geddy Lee? Who Is she?"  
Yeah, no!








If you want a more comprehensive list of shit clothes, please go look at Romans.com. cause who doesn't want fat clothes modeled on standard size women?? That really helps us fat chicks have an idea of what the clothes look like on a bigger body!
You can also look at:
Target
Walmart
Simply Be
forever 21
Wet Seal
Kohl's
Lane Bryant
really anywhere that sells fat people clothes.


<End Snark>
Much love!

  1. Hahaha! wtfplus.tumblr.com may be a blog you'll like! I actually like the shoulder spikes (because I have a thing for weird artsy epaulettes) but the rest... wtf?

  2. I do read that blog!
    But this really did come from me trying to shop for fall work clothing.
    As for the shoulder spikes.. if they work for you cool, I just can't see most people wearing that top to a job interview or office. a night out maybe but, bleh.

    1. The spikes are kinda/sorta/maybe a nice idea for a nightclub but best not to get too energetic with your dancing and head waving 'cuz you'll have some explaining to do in the emergency room.

  3. I like the spikey shoulders too! But I gotta say, the rest of it is pretty frightning esp. the overalls.

    ReplyDelete
  4. I feel like the should spikes would be popular with the Death Guild/thunderdome Kids too.
    Like I said; personal preference is for me to not look like an extra on mad max in a job interview.

  5. All I can say is....GIGGLE.

    Also I was super stoked that you gave a shout out to the humingbird dress from Asos (the blue wrap dress), because I bought it, so it is like I am RAVEN approved.

    Ok..one more thing. Those shorts from Torrid, look bad enough just standing, but can you imagine how bad they will look when someone starts to walk in them and the ride up in the middle...Wow doily crotch...my favorite.

    Thank you for the laugh.

  6. OMG those shorts kill me! I thought the almost exact same thing when I saw the photos!
    Walk in them, but dude I can't even stand in them!
    And can you imagine the Chub rub from the lace ones!!!

    Happy it is making you and other people laugh.

  7. EPIC Camel Toe! My new favorite descriptor. I HATE cold shoulder tops. I have a few and when I wear them (because money paid so I HAVE to utilize) everyone pokes me at work. Why is your arm out? Why is your arm out?

    Hmm...maybe I could sew some spikes on it....

    1. get the Asos shirt to wear under it, tada spikes built in!

  8. To be honest, I kind of love the Torrid floral blazer and top. I just...think they're gorgeous. I'm not a teenager, and I would totally wear them to work (if I had the money, and if I weren't working in a job that's too physical to wear nice clothing...sigh).

    I also love the shoulder studs, although they would definitely be impractical for most situations!

    1. everyone has their own taste.
      the jacket and shirt just reminds me too much of the 80's

  9. Hi. I came over from the LJ Fatshion community. I actually just uh, ordered that floral shirt after seeing it on your blog. I love it! I guess taste is subjective. :) I think it could work under a blazer or with a skirt or plain black pants. But if you are not into floral, I understand.

    I also like the eyelet shorts, but I agree, the lace would be irritating.

    For work wear, have you tried Talbots.com? Also, Lane Bryant is having a sale on their button down, long sleeve shirts, the more you buy, the bigger the discount. My other place for work clothing is Macy's. I also have a blazer from Lord and Taylor that I love, but it was rather pricey.

  10. Also from LJ fatshionista community :).

    I kind of really want the floral overalls. But like, in shortie overall form. But then, I'm in the market for a nice pair of shortie overalls lol

    1. search on asos for overalls, they have a bunch of shorts in their standard sizes.

  11. What always burns my biscuits is the tops/dresses with a lace or mesh panel from above the boobs, or with not-so-strategically placed cutouts at the back. I'm fat, I have boobs, I WILL BE WEARING A BRA. Thanks for cutting the back of that top so there is a window EXACTLY where my bra will sit. That'll look totally sexy.

    1. They just want you to go without a bra! like omg get the message already :-P you know everyone wants to see uncaged boobs bouncing all over the place!

  12. It's my opinion that pleather lederhosen-influenced pinafore dress was actually designed by a poltergeist and slipped onto the website without ASOS knowing. There is no other explanation for it.

    1. HAHAHAHA oh wow. That explains it perfectly!
      Sad since I personally like leather and pinafores.. just not together.
