Dear. World. Of. Fashion.
Okay, I know us fat chicks are hard to fit and make clothes for and whatever, but I kindly and sincerely request that you cut out the following craptastic things.
1) Please stop with the heavily distressed denim. Or at least so much of it. I was just looking on the 'New Arrivals' page of the Vain Giant website and every single pair of jean shorts is distressed to within an inch of its life. Screw you. I would like my clothes to last more than a single season, and I would also prefer not to look like a slob or accident prone klutz.
2) The bad printing jobs. I know that this is a 'style' and that it has been extremely popular in the world of fat girl clothes for going on three years now (is it the same with normal clothes? can someone tell me?) but these screen-printed tops with the daggers of the fabric color running through them to look intentionally as if they were accidentally misprinted need to stop. They do not look fetching, they look ill made.
3) Must everything be made of polyester and/or fabrics that don't breathe? Why not cotton? Why not linen blends? Why not silk? I am willing to pay for silk! Why why why the constant stretchy polyester jersey that clings in all the wrong places and has the double horror of not breathing and being staticky even on the most humid days of summer?
4) Also, must skirts all end past my knee/mid calf/ankle? I like the maxi skirt style well enough, I have a couple. But can there be no skirts that end at or just above the knee? I know that many larger ladies don't like to show off their legs, but I am not the only one who has nice legs that are showoffable.
5) Likewise, or the other side of that coin, must all shirts be thigh length? I'd like them to come down to my hips, generally, but these belted things that end mid thigh just make my legs look stumpy and fall in all the wrong places on me.
6) Sleeves. Please to be providing a variety. Not just 'tank' or 'wrist'. Thx.
7) Workout clothes. I would like some. I would like some that are not MADE OF SUPER THICK FLEECE AND/OR TERRY please because I actually mean to work out in them, and do not like to be extra super sweaty and hot on top of the already sweaty and hot. It doesn't even have to necessarily be the really cool moisture wicking super cooling fabrics that normal people get. (and I can get those, but at a price 3x what regular sizes go for.) I'd be happy with a plain old cotton v-neck t-shirt and knee length shorts.
8) Oh, yeah, speaking of v-neck t-shirts. Can we not have them all ruched around the neckline? Because that shit makes my tits look saggy even in my uber pneumatic bras.
I think that's about it for now.
