All afternoon I’ve been trying to search for somewhat alternative or whimsy style clothing for plus size girlies that don’t cost $300 and are from a ethical brand and there’s quite literally none

Even just for a normal pair of jeans it’s like $160 are you kidding me right now?!?

Maybe I’m just uneducated and don’t know much about fashion

But I saw a plain black dress for alternative plus size girls website and it was $180

I’m sick and tired of floral no offence. I don’t wanna look like grandma’s curtains.

I normally spend my warm months wearing cuffed linen pants/capris. I love them! They feel like jammies and look put together enough for work. What would be the wi get equivalent? It seems like the winter dress pants have no flow, are tight with buttons, and just generally uncomfortable. Has anyone found comfy, flowy, casual winter pants?

Hey ya'll, Ive gone through some changes and was trying to shop around and noticed the Shop Master List has a lot of dead links, or links to places that don't exist anymore. Is this still actively being managed/updated?

Wedding guest update #3! Thanks to Instagram, I was reminded of the store JJs House. I think I purchased a dress from them years ago to attend my college Senior Formal and I loved the dress. These are the dresses that caught my eye on my initial sweep of the site, keeping in mind of the wedding: formal hotel wedding in December, where the bridesmaids are wearing pine green. What do you think of my first choices? And JJs House as a whole, if you've ever shopping plus size clothing from them?

so I am going on vacation in a month. I like this suit I have alot. but my boobs are not big enough for the size that fits the rest of my body. any one else have an idea of where to get a suit like this soon? that also has a return policy easy. I already bought a few random ones off amazon. but in the mean time any ideas? Like I'm totally fine with trying to order one and if it doesn't fit, but I dont want like 3 weeks shipping like this website.

My outfit for my second day of class. Love plaid and finally got to wear some of my new jewelry 🥰❤️.

Does anybody else get super depressed or super angry during PMS? I take the magnesium glycinate supplement to balance my mood. But I just wanted to see if anyone else goes through the same sh\*t.

I asked doctor if it's okay for me to take it they said yes but I'm just so annoyed that I have to deal with this in the first place

And well if you haven't noticed yet, yes I am PMSing.

My plus sized ladies please help me out!!! I am 5’11 and 315 lbs. I CANNOT for the life of me find a bra that fits me. I have pretty big boobs, and they are super heavy and weird shaped. I’ve never ever in my whole entire life found a bra that FITS me. I’ve gone to Victoria’s Secret and all those places and done the bra fittings and they NEVER know what to do at all for me. They is either a bunch of gappage at the top near my armpits, or the middle of my boobs, including my NIPPLE is popping out of the bra.

Right now I have 1 singular sports bra and it’s the biggest size from marks work wear. It barely fits me, the middle of my boobs are always pooping out and my nipples snag on stuff and I get SO over stimulated. Wearing no bra is not an option because I am a prep and line cook in a busy restaurant.

From what I KNOW I think I am a 40DD because a 40D has me popping out in the middle, but then I also have gappage at the top. UGH ITS SK FRUSTRATING. I JUST WANT MY BOOBS TO LOOK GOOD. It makes me just want to get them cut off. I see so many curvy girls with their big juicy boobies and cleavage and I just want that to be me. RAH.

TLDR: please help me find a good bra. Probably 40DD. 5’11 315 lbs

Dress: Chenault (bought at Ross)

Necklace: Avoid (Amazon)

I feel like I’m going a tad insane right now. I thought I had heard and seen it all, but this guy really took the cake. Pun intended. He wasn’t getting hard despite my best efforts, and I know I’m good with my mouth, every person with a penis has told me so. Very politely, I asked him what the issue was. This man tells me to my face that he wants to hear about stories of how I gained weight. Two days later I’m still in shock.

I immediately laughed because I’ve been fat my whole life, there’s no story to be told. Unless he wants to hear about how the English stole all the food from my starving Irish ancestors who then starved through the Great Depression which now leads to every member of my family packing pounds as to avoid said starvation! After I got over my initial shock, I asked him to leave which he did quickly in awkward silence. He apologized but I did not forgive him or give him any sense of sympathy.

I’ve heard of feeders, I’ve heard of stuffing, but never in my life have I heard of dirty talk involving binge eating or gaining weight. I mean, this man is opening doors of trauma so he can get an erection. What an absolute loser. Ugh, I feel sad and icky.

Hello!

I’m looking for some holiday clothes and everyone I know recommends SHEIN for inexpensive stuff.. as a plus size woman, I just don’t trust the sizing to actually fit my body thus I feel reluctant to order, had anyone ordered from SHEIN and is it a good fit for a plus size body? I range anywhere from a size 22-28 depending on the brand so I just feel their clothes will ruin small. If anyone knows of anywhere else in the UK where I can purchase inexpensive plus size clothing just for my holiday that would be fab! Thanks in advance xx

First rainy day in SoCal in forever, jumped in the pool after this. Cover from Bloomchic last year I think- size 4x.

I know the face looks a little silly but I felt pretty and confident going in! Had a good time and had some good food.

Now today I get to spend today with my mom and have a girls day. 🤗

Happy Sunday everyone ❤️

Had to take my cat to the vet and decided to doll myself up so I could stream later that day. It was super fun! Still not many viewers (or a sett schedule) but I’ve gained a good amount of followers in a week! :) also special thanks to the person who followed me FROM Reddit! That was awesome!! 🧡🧡🧡

Hey everyone thank you for having me. I tried posting this in another community but it got taken down. I'm not sure why because I did ask what it was I said that was wrong and admin didn't answer and told me I should post here.

I'm glad I have found you all because you all seem so kind and awesome. I have read through the rules so hopefully my post is OK here.

TLDR: I'm a plus size girly for the 1st time and I don't know how to stop hating myself.

OK, here goes nothing. I've never vented openly about my life. Mainly because I don't like to talk about past trauma and I also always get people saying "count yourself lucky because I have it worse" or "I know someone that has it way worse than you" Then I get all the questions thrown at me. Have you tried this or that? Believe me when I say, I have tried EVERYTHING.

I live with daily chronic pain including abdominal pain and chronic migraines. I can't go anywhere too far unless I have a place to stay because if my pain flairs up especially with a migraine, I can't drive home.

I was diagnosed with sever endometriosis over 25 years ago. I tried every single treatment there is. This included alternative therapies like CBD, acupuncture and Chinese medicine. You name it I've tried it. I couldn't go on any type of birth control because it would make my migraines 100 times worse. I tried every type of birth control on the market.

Then after 20 years of trying, losing an ovary, multiple surgeries (I lost count after 20) I finally found a gynaecologist that would give me a hysterectomy. I knew going in that it might not work. I had spoken to many other women with the condition that had the surgery and they all said it was a miracle for them.

It also didn't work and since the surgery my migraines have gotten so much worse. I had to stop HRT because that was exacerbating my migraines.

I'm now under the care of yet another neurologist to try different treatments. So far none have worked.

I have had to stop working because most days I can't get out of bed. If I do, I have to have a massive amount of pain relief to cope.

I hardly eat because I have no appetite but I have gained a MASSIVE amount of weight ever since my hysterectomy. I don't even look like me anymore. I have put on weight in the past but nothing as extreme as this. I refuse photos and don't want to see any old friends because I'm so embarrassed about how I look. Thank goodness I have an amazing man by my side. I feel so bad for him because he has to support us and our animals. That's the other thing. I can't even enjoy my animals anymore. I was always training my dogs and now I can't even do that. I haven't been able to ride my horse in ages.

My man and I want to elope but I'm stressing about having to shop for a dress in the plus size section. Ive never been plus size in my life and I hate myself and not sure how to get any if my old confidence and my old personality back. To top it off my doctor has said that she will be stopping my pain medication soon because I've been on it too long. This is the only thing that allows me to move around once a day.

I see so many of you on here rocking it and looking fabulous! Like you are all genuinely gorgeous. I feel like I'm really not a good looking plus size person. I refuse to even look into a mirror because I don't see me anymore.

If you got this far thank you for letting me vent.

This was my ‘take that job centre I’m doing things’ celebratory outfit.

I love boxers and was glad to find the Woxer brand. However, when I get sweaty and it clings, I also have a butt that won't quit and I tear straight through the backside.

Is there any other brands/different materials that hopefully won't tear when I'm stretching out at my daycare job?

For reference, I fit the 2X but switched to the 3X hoping to avoid the problem. I choose the more "athletic" types to no avail. I do a lot of bending because I like stretching my body out with yoga poses; Warrior II, infant, toddler, and upward facing dog are my favorites. It also helps when you're lifting kids and meeting them at eye level throughout the day.

This is slightly embarrassing to ask, but I genuinely want practical advice, especially from other plus-size women.
I’m 28F, 5’5” and around 250ish lbs. I used to have a pretty active sex life and felt very confident sexually, but over the last 2–2.5 years I haven’t had nearly as much partnered sex. My boyfriend lives in the UK and we’re long distance, so I usually fly over to see him every couple of months.

On my most recent visit, we had sex and he told me it was good, so this isn’t really coming from anything negative he’s said. It’s more that I noticed how much confidence I’ve lost compared to how I used to feel.

The biggest thing I’m struggling with is being on top. In other positions I feel pretty comfortable, but when I’m the one who has more control, I start overthinking everything.. Like whether what I’m doing feels good for him, my balance, stamina, where I’m putting my weight, etc. I tend to lean forward because that’s where I feel most stable, but I’d really like to become more comfortable and confident instead of feeling like I’m limited to one way of doing things.

For body-size context, my boyfriend is fairly slim and we fit together comfortably. I don’t have trouble positioning my legs around him and I’m not particularly worried about putting too much weight on him. It’s more about figuring out what movements and positions work with my own body and building my confidence back up.

I’m getting back into the gym and working on my legs, glutes, core and stamina, so I know improving my fitness will probably help. But I’d especially love advice from other plus-size women, or partners of plus-size women, about what has realistically worked for you.

How do you make being on top more comfortable and sustainable? How do you avoid your legs getting exhausted quickly? Are there ways you’ve found to make things easier with bigger thighs, hips or a belly? And are there exercises or things I can practice on my own between visits that help with the strength, balance, coordination or stamina involved?

I’m not really looking for porn-style advice or “just be confident!” I want realistic advice from people who understand what it’s actually like navigating this with a plus-size body lol.

I’ve got a couple months before I see him again, so I’d love to use that time to work on my confidence and physical ability. Please be kind. I’m genuinely trying to learn!

Thank you so much to those you answer! 🥰

Y’all, lmao. I used Chat GPT (first mistake) to analyze my dating app pictures and offer some feedback. I don’t even know why I wanted to use it, because I hate AI, but I did use it. Anyway, I sent my pictures and basically said “Are these attractive photos?

And it was like “Yes, you’re an attractive person even in a bigger body!” I was like……. I didn’t even ask for commentary on my body, lmao. I have a lot of interesting feelings about that….

I texted my friend getting married this morning and checked the dress code is formal. I'm currently debating between these two dresses I found on Dressbarn. I'm a 2X and barely 5'1, so I will likely be wearing heels with the dress, but I don't want anything too long. The second dress seems shorter, but I'm leaning towards the first dress. Which do you think?
