As a girl struggling with weight loss why do my clothes cost ten, twenty dollars more, some stores double the price. And then they're made of shit material? And don't give that bigger body= more cloth excuse because men don't go through this. Not only that when I must venture into plus clothing, everything is fucking UGLY!!!!!! So while I'm trying to get healthy, I have to look ugly? I'm not supposed to have pretty colors? Nice dresses? Sexy clothes?
My just shy of 7' tall uncle paid larger sums of money than I did in my teen/adult years for some of the same clothes -we have similar taste- and it was because he was bloody larger. It is what it is. Saying don't give me "x" when "x" is either the reason or a contributing factor isn't going to work.
