Off The Rack

Why don't they make clothes for short, fat people? I'm tired of reading all of the Sunday ads and seeing only skinny tall people wearing mostly UGLY clothes. How hard can it be?! I mean, really- HOW HARD CAN IT BE?! I see lots of short, fat people everyday. They look uncomfortable. Probably because their clothes don't fit well. And what about nice clothes? I go shopping, and everything for bigger girls are in one color and make us look as big as the side of a barn. The prints are even worse. Are people really getting paid to design this crap?! Who wants to look like a cow, or some spotted whale? God help us when big girls wear Christmas prints. Snowflakes do not come in one size fits all. I'm just saying.

My real problem is no clothes for short, wide people. If you are short and have gut, butt, or boobs- you are SOL. If you are regular height, you can go to Lane Bryant or Fashion Bug. I've seen How To Feel Good Naked, I've seen The Biggest Loser. I know that there are more people out there that look like me in the places where they make clothes. If they really wanted to get the economy going, they should make a law that makes the people who make clothes make pretty, or at least tasteful clothes, for short, fat people. I know I would be stimulated!

I'm sick and tired of having to spend hours looking for something decent to wear at these stores, only to find a few things, but no cute outfits, and everything has to be altered. Why don't they just take all of the big, fat clothes, put them in one store, and have the alterations lady right there? And for God's sake, stop putting prints on the front of sweaters and shirts that make my boobs look like a strip mall. That's all.
