That was a heart.
Okay, first of all, my rant from a Clubhouse thread, copied and pasted here:
I was so excited when I first joined that there was a clothing thread here. I thought "finally! People who go through the same things I do!" But it hasn't turned out that way. It is so depressing to me to see thread after thread of "look at this awesome piece of clothing!" when just about every vendor doesn't even come close to carrying my size. It just seems like there are SO many more options for women that are 4X and under - and very little for those of us who fall above that range. It's almost like being out in the "real world," being bombarded with adorable fashion you will never own because it never comes in your size. It almost makes me wish there was a separate 5X+ Clothing thread. Am I the only one that sees the huge discrepancy in fashion available for those over a 30/32?
AFG suggested I share this with everyone, so there it is. There were a few other women in the Clubhouse that agreed with me - so I'm starting this thread.
How would all of you feel about including size measurements in your post subjects? Like, if you're starting a thread about an adorable dress, how about "Adorable Lane Bryant Dress 1x-3x" ?
This might help alleviate the problem a little. Additionally, perhaps we can use this thread to post really cute things we found in extended sizes (5X+). Ladies who aren't extended sizes, if you happen to notice that something you find is offered in extended sizes, please share it here, so that us SSBBWs know where to look for it!
What do y'all think? I'd really like to have a discussion about this.
