custom-sized clothing priced like mall retail!(!!!)
Hello fats!
My belly has finally sized me out of LB's right fit pants, which were my last hope. So IMAGINE my incredible glee at finding this site:
Make Your Own Jeans
You provide your measurements and with them they will make jeans, suits, jackets, twill pants, wool trousers, denim skirts, button-up shirts, and so on. A pair of jeans runs about $50, which is similar to what ill-fitting Lane Bryant pants would cost me.
Ethics issue: the cutting and sewing is done in India. This is like a recent post I saw, I can't remember where, in which a fatshionista said someone should set up a business exactly like this and make a bajillion dollars. For my part, I am weak and cheap, and other clothing I bought would probably be from bad conditions too -- at least this stuff would fit.
Beyond the requisite pair of dark blue jeans, I have my eyes on the wool trousers, red (!) jeans, and chinos/twill pants.
This is particularly great for the female fats among us who present as more masculine -- if you have a decidedly female bust or waist-to-hip ratio, it won't be an obstacle here. I have a real thing for menswear, so I'm glad I won't have to screw around to get a dandy-style jacket or suit.
Is this common knowledge in the fatosphere? Does anyone have any experience with them?
