For the first time since I was 12 I wore a pair of shorts out in public. I now wear a size 28 and for some reason I had my hubby buy them for me. As I looked at myself in the mirror I thought, I REFUSE TO HAVE MY EGO STRANGLED BY THESE OVERPRICED SCRAPS OF CLOTH ( Read more... )

Not that this is an issue for you, but one last rant on Fat Lady clothing catalogs:

The designers clearly have No Clue. They offer hideous old-lady-Kmart prints on far too much. They offer thong underwear, which is SO not happening! They offer giant cup bras but retain the skinny straps which are clearly incapable of supporting that much heft without making painful grooves in one's shoulders. They offer short sleeves - I mean SHORT short sleeves - on far too much also. Clue! Clue! Heavy women rarely if ever want to display their upper arms.

Leg length: my legs are too darned long for most exercise equipment, including the nice used Life Rider we got for me... my partner uses it, but my legs are just too darned long, and it's not adjustable any further. Same with the bike-built-for two we have. So again, I wonder about jocks, especially the basketball guys, and how they ever find gym equipment which fits.

And as in your situation, most vendors offer tall pants or wide pants but cannot conceive of a person who is both. Aiiieee!
