I remember my first garterbelt at the age of 13; it felt so weird to have those things pressed into the backs of my thighs when I sat down in church! I was in the 7th grade when my mother bought me a pair of panty hose, and I thought I'd never get them on right. The relationship between me and ph has gone downhill since then... I personally don't care for stockings but when they are necessary, thigh-highs (which right now resemble tall knee highs on me) or knee highs are the extent to which I am willing to torture myself. --stella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2001 Report Share Posted August 22, 2001 That, and they think that all fat people are 5'8 " or taller!! Most of their skirts and dresses are floor-length on me! I am 5'8 " and taller, and they are all floor length on me. They also assume that every fat person is long waisted, so the crotch hangs down to my knees. I end up wearing petites pants. The crotch hits where it should (if I pull the waistband over my boobs!) and all the legs are cropped! Ellen DS 2/14/01 310 dr. Anthone 8/22/01 230 - 80 lbs.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2001 Report Share Posted August 22, 2001 What I hate is that they use size 4 models. You know that they've had to drastically pin and tuck the material to get it to fit them properly. You have to really, really know how something would look on you. Then there's the problem with sleeves either way too long or way too short. Sometimes I wonder why they want really short sleeves for people who usually have very big upper arms. Either they are too tight or you bulge out all around them. P > That, and they think that all fat people are 5'8 " or taller!!
