Yay - I have been WAITING for the full-figured post!! As a very ample hourglass, I need help not only in choosing pieces, but in figuring out where to go (besides the cheap L@ne Bryant-style place). I'm looking forward to it!

I love your blog. Unfortunately #3 is a little discouraging. It seems only the size A/B'c are excited about pregnancy induced buxom bosom's. It is all I hear/read. At least you get bigger breasts! Well, since I started as a DD this means no running, pain every day, fitting horribly in all maternity clothes (designed to flatter the B turned C cups) Who makes maternity tops to flatter the size 8, medium, DDD woman. Noone. I enjoy your section on maternity dressing, maybe you could do one on dressing a large-chested pregnant woman. Thanks Reachel! Keep up the good work. B

I freaking love you and this blog.

Lovely post! #3 and #5 especially. If only more thoughts along these lines were published in magazines a lot of women might like themselves a lot more.

Anne-What you said is true. Many people have naturally fuller figures and I think we should celebrate the diversity. In addition, I think we need a post on full figured dressing and wear to purchase said supplies. Coming, I promise.

Well said, and I totally agree with all of your rules. I'm an apple whose always waiting until I turn into something else, but when I lose weight I'm still an apple, just a smaller one. I'm learning to dress the apple no matter what the size. Thank you!

Re: number 4 Not all fat people over eat, and not all fat people are hiding from something. If there were more clothes in larger sizes that flatter larger body types. Many large people wear what is available to them and that is ill fitting clothes that either pinch, bulge, etc. Re:5, Awesome!

I need to hear this like - everyday....
I have such an issue with this topic.
I never want to spend the money dressing a body that I'm unsatisfied with... because... you know... I'm going to lose all the weight tomorrow.

And as the dreaded apple shape - nothing in particular makes me feel like I look fantastic... but I need to go buy new clothes - like yesterday. :)

L-O-V-E this post.
That said, will you forgive me for buying a new work suit one size smaller that I should have with the intention of losing five pounds ASAP?

thank you. i needed to hear this today. :)

2010-01-05T15:46:45.256-08:00

Your statement about an hourglass figure shuffling through pants while tops remain stationary made me chuckle heartily. So true, so true. Grey dress pants alone? 3 sizes - I like to call them "Summer,""Winter,"and "On the Way" (either direction). I like how I look in all of them.

Happy New Year!

Amen! Thanks for the pep-talk. I knew this, but needed a refresher course to get me out of my postpartum-nothing-fits slump!

I have gotten rid of the pillow case pants and am happy with the few outfits I feel comfortable with. The leg is getting better as is grandma. I am planning my wardrobe for newport.

2010-01-05T12:38:39.706-08:00

As someone who lost a lot of weight I have to agree. I started dressing nicer and liking the me I was, and then gradually I was ready to lose the weight. And I lost a lot!

2010-01-05T12:15:32.882-08:00

I love this post. I always tend to shop for when I lose a "few" pounds and get down to my "proper" weight. Therefore, I usually have ill fitting clothes waiting for me to slender down a bit. I love the concept of dressing for today to better enjoy today.

2010-01-05T11:38:47.890-08:00

two people that i tend to listen to, stacey london and clinton kelly, have been saying for years, dress the body you have NOW. it will improve your self image, thus leading you to desire to change, if you indeed need to.

i agree totally. it's the dressing of this body that i need help with though....so that is why i pop in here:0)
