So, let me get this straight. A straight cis male is told that he doesn't fit into a women's medium - nevermind the fact that he IS AN ATHLETE!!11! and RUNS 10 MILES A DAY!1!!! so is muscular, and women's and men's bodies are built completely differently. But now that it affects him, he suddenly cares. And now that a man is griping about women's sizing - WHICH, mind you, women have done for years - we're all suddenly supposed to give a shit about what he's saying?
GTFO with this mansplaining BS. I have no problems with the sizing (as I tend to be a consistent size). What I *would* like is plus-sized clothing that doesn't look like a fucking muumuu or have giant flowers and/or tribal print all over it, and doesn't cost a million dollars. Old Navy is great in that regard, but beyond that? SJB at JC Penney used to be nice, until Penney's fucked with their stores and now there's nothing. Lane Bryant especially should be ashamed at themselves for how pricey they are.
Yeah, gotta agree with this too. The article does raise some interesting points, but the fact that it's written by a man sours it majorly. Because apparently these problems which have existed for years are only now important and people will listen because it's not a woman writing it.
Fashion Bug's shit was so ugly though, at least the one by me. I went there looking for a dress once - just something nice and summery to wear to a wedding - and they had all of three dresses, all of which were ugly.
Lane Bryant is horrendously overpriced. Not only do their shitty cacique bras end up falling apart or warping, but I had looking through their site and finally finding something cute, only to find out it's $100. Some of Old Navy's stuff is poor quality, but I also have shirts I've worn for years that I got for $8. Can't beat that.
I only shopped in a Fashion Bug once. I was looking for clothes to wear at my mother's funeral and the young woman at the register decided it would be a great time for me to "branch out and discover my individuality" and tried to upsell me on a bunch of non-funeral-y shit I told her I didn't want.
When I was trying to find a dress for my friend's wedding, I went to something like 7 stores, trying to find something cute that was - quelle horreur! - a plus size. I was willing to drop all kinds of cash to get a cute dress. And I *still* couldn't find anything. I have some cute stuff that I've since purchased, but it should not take me 7+ stores to find something that I like! Sizes 14+ are half of the adult female population.... it should not be this difficult.
