Being built like an 8 year old with boobs is no picnic.

about fuckin' time
.

i am a curvy voluptous healthy size 16. i can't find clothing in "regular" stores cause they are like 1/2-1" to small....i can't find plus-size that fits cause they aren't specialty stores and the clothes are either WAY to big or ugly. i live in a small community in New Brunswick Canada and the nearest Lane Bryant is a 4 1/2 hour drive (each way) away. online shopping is great but i pay a fortune in shipping. c'est la vie.

I know this is off topic, but where in NB do you live? I lived in Moncton for a few years. There was always someone that would beat me to the ONE copy of Prince associates cds at the record store. Was that you??

charlottegelin said:

Damn near. I'm short, (4'11) skinny, (about 92 lbs. at last count) don't have hardly anything in the hips or ass department, but I'm almost too big for a B cup! That makes shopping lots of fun.

meow85 said:

same problem as me, I'm tallish but still pretty slight with this massive bosom I look normal dressed, but I wear a 30H or 32G bra I'm a freak

JustErin said:

just outside Saint John. where do you live now??

charlottegelin said:

WHAT?!?!?
there's such thing? or are the sizing's different?!
cuz it doesn't look that way in pictures

lillith said:

I lived in Winnipeg for a while, now I am in Ottawa. I have a cousin that lives in Hampton, that's just outside St. John.

I guess im a plus size..... 9 average for a pair of jeans....lets see im 5-1, 5-3 or 5-4 with boots ....yeah, im a plus size.....oh well.....

amorbella said:

That is not a plus size.... either that or I guess I'm plus sized too.

Seriously though, I though plus size was like 16 and up?

SammiJ said:

there is such a thing (but it goes from dd to e, no ddd) - , but seems only mail order www.bravissimo.com is where I have to buy bras. I can fit into the cup of a 36E, but I could tie a bow in the back!! I don't think I am even that big, but having a little ribcage underneath is the problem.

SammiJ said:

sizing is not different... i am 35" around my ribcage and 45" around my bust...
and thank you charlotte for showing me how much money i can save by using www:bravissimo.com

emm said:

that's excellent! although buying 15 new bras when you would otherwise have made do with only one is not really saving

charlottegelin said:

i wish it were that good... really they are just over half price when you work it all out and maybe with the help of someone even a little better

Oh! and thanks to you i tried a panache for the first time... i just had to try two cup sizes larger
but they are tres

emm said:

This one is my everyday one, so nice! I wish there more colours in this one

either of these will be my next purchase... i don't know what the difference is between the one and yours except for the ribbon detailing lol i've been trying to find it on ebay too

emm said:

PN53 is more sheer. that beige one feels a little more sturdy, but apart from that, identical in cut

JustErin said:

i'm actually in Quispamsis...10 minutes from Hampton

meow85 said:

you may barrow some of my curves anytime

lillith said:

Actually, I think that's where my cousin and his wife bought a house after they got married.

Small world.

Mach said:

must be kind of a mixed native thing... i have a friend who is 1/8 Cherokee, and who has the same dilemna. after four children - yes four - she finally got hips and kind of/sort of a backside!

Please don't kill me, but is it possible that this isn't totally a good thing?

Americans are overweight, and becoming moreso every day. I understand people need clothes that fit them but the Supersizing of America is getting out of hand, imo. Cars and airplanes are being redesigned because we, as a country, keep getting larger.

No offense to anyone intended. My friends are all sizes, shapes, etc. Peace.

i get what you're saying
and many people made their points clear on that other thread about obese chillun...
BUT...some people, as was discussed, are just naturally big, and are healthy (i'm not starting this debate again yall so QUIT while you're ahead)
i'm not big, but i'm very very curvy...and trying to fit into what is seen as "normal" clothing isn't always easy...many jeans today, if you look @ ads for american eagle (shudder) or campus crew (shudder shudder) are STRAIGHT for girls who don't have much in the hip department...here, those two stores kind of lead the promotion of trends, and well, other stores follow in order to keep up right?
so where does that leave the big or curvy girls? shopping at stores that don't neccessarily fit our style, but fit us nonetheless...
i'm just saying, instead of attacking (not sayin u were hun, just other people on the previous thread) people for how they look, why not try and accomodate to them instead of alienating them...
that's what society's good at, isolating people and making them feel like shit
and to those who were bitching that big people should make a change because they did, goodie for fucking you - you got thru it, don't assume that it'll be just as easy for others too...cuz we all know what assuming does - and believe me, it shows.
so while it's debatable if its a good or bad thing
let it happen...it's not saying that it's ok to be unhealthy and blah blah blah
but seriously, if one is happy with their shape and their body, why discourage that? why force them mope and sulk and wish for a better body? that's years of quality living stipped from them..they can work on it if they so wish to, and that's awesome, and if they don't and their satisfied, well that's fucking awesome too!!!


DAMN IT I'VE SAID IT BEFORE AND I'LL SAY IT AGAIN: SKINNY PEOPLE = EVIL!!!!


love to all the curvy-as-hell-big-and-beautiful women!!!


*ahem* alright, as you were.
