Clothes for Chunky folks.

Where do people who aren't skinny find clothes? This is a serious question. I'm really needing some help because my wardrobe is pathetic. I'm trying to keep my weird yet sensible style going and it's just not happening. I can find shirts but not pants.

I've got a rap video ass and an early Beck video budget.

rap video = early beck video

sinker you tart!!

― ethan, Sunday, 28 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Alright. Not the response I was hoping for but going pantless is a valid suggestion I suppose. Knuckleheads.

Give it a couple of days, Lindsey B. Folks who don't check over the weekend will likely be able to help. :-)

well like what kind of ass are we talking about here? post tons of pictures from different angles and i'll see what kind of uh fashion advice i can come up with.

― ethan, Sunday, 28 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'd say the ass is bigger than average. It's not ugly, I've gotten several compliments on it but that still doesn't make it any easier to find pants. I'm thinking that the females are going to be more help with this topic. I appreciate your (disturbing) concern though Ethan.

― Lindsey B, Sunday, 28 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The problem is, there is no answer to this question. Skinny people can't find clothes either. Average sized people can't find clothes. Clothing is made for no one. I can't figure it out. I think the best pants are Levi super-low but I don't know what your dimensions are versus mine. I fall into the category of pretty skinny, but I have pretty wide hips.

It depends on what you mean by "weird yet sensible style". I mean, I personally love my pants baggy and lowriding. Some girls like their pants tight and curvy...you know what I mean? Does weird just mean different fabrics, or do you mean cut too? Samples of clothing perhaps?

― jen, Sunday, 28 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Clothing is made for no one.

this is really, sadly true.

― jess, Sunday, 28 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

When I say "weird yet sensible" that means weird shirt with plain jeans-everyday like a cartoon character, honestly. Straight leg-no funny pockets-no funny colors-none of that distressed look. This is trickier than I thought.

Lindsey you're a guy right?

Umm, not to be a shill...oh what the hell, this sounds like it might be the thing for you, Lindsey B:

Plain, made-to-order denim blue jeans and chinos for $50 US (if I remember correctly). Surely they'll be able to clothe your beautiful booty.

I'm going to have to start another thread about finding affordable, stylish clothes online for chunky or fat bods. I'm in the land of the compact people. Of course I can't find clothes for myself here, but I expected that. But I did find a cheap pair of blue flower power Hello Kitty sandals that fit my enormous gaijin feet -- size LL! I also bought a pair of toilet slippers to fit my big male gaijin friends who will be visiting for FIFA world cup. The extra large, navy blue slippers say "Comfortable place / TOILET / Je fais pipi et caca." Gotta love the Furansu-Engrish kiddie words on the rather somber and utilitarian slippers for big adults.

Sorry, forgot to add the html tags... www.landsend.com

I'm assuming you live in the U.S. because of your aol addy.

I'm a girl with a boy's name Stuart. Thank you Melinda.

In the good old days clothes were tailor made to fit your rap video ass. I am very happy about Jazzy K's big mans section...also the J C Penny outlet

― mike hanle y, Monday, 29 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Lindsey if you estimate yourself to be about a size 14 or bigger you can go to Lane Bryant. They're kind of The Limited for glorious women

Anthony to thread! We've got a troll for you to wrestle into submission!

― j.lu, Friday, 14 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hi Christina, Your comment about overweight people leaves a lot to be desired. That was a very judgemental and an uncalled for remark. What's wrong with you that you feel this way? Are you jealous? Are you very thin and can't gain weight?

― Gale, Friday, 14 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

while were at it perhaps we can do something about all the jews, black people, indians, gays, cripples, catholics, polocks, dissident russian authors, i-talians, irish, lazy eyes, monobrows, crows feet, stick girls, crooked shoulders, drug addicts, mad robots, bob dylan, trekkies, a-rabs, and smokers too.

― jess, Friday, 14 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Don't forget balding men and the shifty.

a lot to be desired

Arf!

Finally, a thread I could bollock on forever in! I too am a fat girl in a world of totally awful clothing stores. My solution involved mens shirts from op shops and, get this, a sewing machine. It's way easier than it sounds, well if you go for skirts at all, that is... as far as pants go, you need more second hand stores and way too much time on your hands. Well, that's my advice anyway. It's harder, way harder, for people with standards though.

― alex (alex), Saturday, 12 October 2002 09:30 (twenty-three years ago)

Ally is on the mark here. There are NO good clothes to be bought anywhere, recent experience has shown. It's really fucking aggravating, because I know exactly what I'd like to be wearing but nobody wants to sell it to me!

― Andrew (enneff), Saturday, 12 October 2002 13:47 (twenty-three years ago)

Second-hand stores! In the late 60s, it seems, some women actually had breasts and hips! Ally's right, the problem with modern clothing isn't so much the sizes as the utterly ridiculous proportions. We are all allegedly five foot tall and built like a 12 year old boy.

― petra jane (petra jane), Sunday, 13 October 2002 00:15 (twenty-three years ago)

Being 5'11' with what my mom sometimes calls "child-bearin'" hips makes shopping for pants almost depressing. I guess I save some money that way...
