Alei, there is only one store I can walk into and be reasonably assured I don't have to get my clothes tailored or do it myself. Either it doesn't fit my ass or it's way too fucking long.
Supposedly at 5'3", I should only weigh around 100-110. Yeah. Back when I was in high school I did. I also looked like an Auschwitz victim. But clothing stores think if you have curves, you must also be tall to set them off.
Enter: the internet. I'm moving to places like Pin-Up Girl Clothing or Ruche or Mod-cloth because their indie and vintage style actually accommodates my body.
The only place I've been able to walk in and pick a bra up without trying it on first is H&M.
I wear heels a lot, or I have to hem up every pair of pants I buy.
Face it - mass-made clothing is bullshit mostly. It's not even like I'm fat. I'm just "fluffy" enough apparently to dissatisfy Macy's. And fuck Old Navy - if it fits my ass, it's going to gape profoundly at the waist. I could go on.
PSA: designers - if my ass is a certain size, it doesn't mean my torso is shaped like a rectangle and has no definition. I have a waist. Please shape your goddamn pants accordingly.
