Evil Clothes-And their makers

[Saitaina]

Okay, I've bitched about this before but I just have to do it again.  For those of you who have never had a problem finding clothes your size and NEVER been overweight, this is NOT your post.

Alright, I as you know, am a large woman.  Have been since I was little.  I used to never have problems finding clothes my size till I reached the dreaded 20+ sizes (20, 22, 24, 26, ect or in other terms, 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X,)  I have discovered that clothing manufactures do not look to these sizes when designing clothes and we are stuck with ugly prints, flower patterns or....animals.  I cannot tell you how many Christmas's I received a shirt bearing fluffy bunnies because there was nothing else in my size.

Recently, I have turned to the internet as a way to buy my clothing.  There in the depths of cyberspace is a richness of large sized clothing....or so I thought.  Due to my up coming need for 'professional clothing I decided to have a shopping spree.  So I turned to the haven that is large sized women's clothing, Layne Bryant.  I spent, 344.00$ on new clothes thinking that they would not lie when they said a 48 is the same as a 28 (I actually wear a 26 but bigger is better in some cases) so imagine my surprise when I opened the package today and...nothing fit.  

I'm tired of it.  I'm tired of dressing like my mother just to have decent fitting clothing.  I'm tired of watching all the other 'little' girls my age wearing cute outfits while I'm stuck in pants that should never see the light of day.  I'm tired of being a majority while having my clothes in the minority.  I'm tired of being looked down upon, shunned, shoved aside and having to pay more money then is decent just because I am a larger size.  The average American Woman may be a size 14 but there's a hell of a lot more of us at a size 24.

Okay, my rant is over, I must now go try to salvage the clothes I bought and see if I can do anything with them.  Here's hoping.
