    I fail to understand why so many people recommend wide leg pants for fat people. (I'm fat - let's just call it like it is.) If you carry a lot of weight in your thighs - your thighs rub together. And if you are wearing pants with positive ease, your thighs will bunch up the fabric as you walk. It is a horrible look, and it feels horrible.

    Designers like to frustrate plus-size women: they figure because we are larger, we don't deserve clothes that look good on us and that we will SETTLE for ANYTHING that fits. WRONG!! You have to try EVERYTHING on and make sure it works for you. Some of these tips work for me, but some of them don't (like the maxi dress) because I am only 5'2. When you are short and plus size, you have to put more thought and work into what looks good on you. Keep on triumphing plus size ladies!

    The reason why designers want polyester is because it's cheap. I wonder if people know it's just plastic that they're wearing. I hate polyester for several reasons. It's plastic, smells, not durable and is mostly way too hot for me. I love cotton and linnen. For the colder months i use wool with cotton blends... Thank you for this video!!

      Did you notice how difficult it is to find cotton or cotton blends in stores nowadays? It’s so frustrating! Today’s marketers want to sell you inferior rayon or rayon-based inexpensive fabrics which are ecologically damaging because they are semi-synthetic fabrics made from treating cellulose with hazardous chemicals. Disturbingly, all of this is done in the name of ecological soundness to manipulate the consumer. Cotton has superior longevity and drape and breathability.

      🤔Another thing that is elongating & slimming (beside that continuous column of vertical color) is a maxi skirt w/some kind of a split. It can be a rear, front, or side split. It doesn't have to be a ridiculously high one to work, but feel free to show off your legs if that appeals to you.
      The split attracts the focus👁👁, & it automatically makes the viewer imagine how the leg continues up ⬆️ UNDER the skirt. That trick is surprisingly leg lengthening.
      Lastly, it's a BONUS if you're wearing nude shoes (even flats). A skin colored shoe stops you from being visually chopped off the feet. It cleverly removes any horizontal line created by your shoes. Your feet practically magically disappear. That simple trick visually extends ↕️ the length of your leg from hemline to infinity 〰️just going below⬇️ in the opposite direction.
      😉Look at the model here in the pretty pink dress in Marie-Anne's thumbnail to see this principle in action. The nude shoes beautifully elongate her legs.

      I hate wearing blazers as they usually don’t fit me well. I have larger biceps, so arms are often tight; and at every size I’ve been in my 50 years (from regular to plus size), it never fits in the bust area, usually too large…Needless to say, it would require a lot of tailoring; and they’re mostly uncomfortable. I own a few as I sometimes have to wear them for work…but I just hate them. I like the look, but not how it feels.

    I'm so glad I have found cotton and linen or a blend of the two for most of the "new sized" clothes I picked out. I can't think of anything polyester that I included. I got on this bandwagon years ago when it started getting so hot here. I found some wonderful cotton/linen "button up" shirts that will be nice by themselves, but I also got some cotton tanks/camisoles in a couple of different colors and will be able to wear the shirts loosely to top them off.

      The more you wash, iron and wear your linen pieces, the more the fabric softens and creases less. Also, it feels so delicious to wear. And when you see a lot of people wearing expensive looking linen, it’s never crisply ironed; the relaxed look of the weave is what makes it look expensive.

Lately I have been having difficulty finding the right size button down blouse, one that won't open where it shouldn't.

      I’m 5’1’ and have a few suggestions. First and foremost you have to find a good seamstress or tailor because all of your garments will need to be altered. Your sleeves must be shortened as well as your hemlines. Do not buy maxi dresses or skirts. Pay attention to necklines. Do not wear turtlenecks. Buy V necks or square neck blouses and tops. Buy cropped jackets. They stop at your waist so you avoid looking like you’re wearing a man’s suit jacket.

    This was the best plus size video you have done. It was so good. I don’t understand why designers insist on putting high necklines on plus size clothing either, especially in summer! I can only guess that they are all skinny and don’t get it. I also get annoyed that they make so few midi lengh dresses for plus sizes because I am only 5ft 2 and a midi dress on me is a maxi dress. By the time I cut about 6 inches off a maxi dress I have ruined it in most cases. I do wear short dresses because they end up sitting just below my knees and that looks great.

    Well, now I am confused about denim jackets, lol. I am short and plus size (though I'm slowly losing weight). I was told that a short denim jacket (not buttoned-up) could be flattering. Mine sits at the waist, is unbuttoned, and I roll up the sleeves. I believe it helps to define my non-existent waist. I never wear denim-on-denim. What do you think? Thank you for another wonderful video!

    It was interesting to read the comments. I get it. I. I'm 5'3 and 200. All my weight is the upper half so wearing wide leg pants really cuts me in half because I'm very short waisted. But she is right about the V neckline and horizontal lines being more flattering. And I really don't like synthetic fibers but that seems to be what they've chosen for us to be able to afford. Cotton and linen can be very expensive these days.

    We shoppers can force brands to offer natural, non-plastic fibers. Just never buy them. It isn’t easy, but I don’t, not even in blends. I don’t shop any brands that don’t use natural fibers. In my case, I don’t have a choice because of plastic allergies, but these develop with repeated exposure and are more common than most people realize. In addition, by pre-menopause we can overheat so quickly and miserably that non-breathable plastics are just unwearable. They’re not really suitable for clothing at all. The only reason brands ever use them is to increase their profits by cutting their fabric costs to nearly zero. If certain items don’t work out for you, synthetic ones will have no value to secondhand wearers and don’t biodegrade. Don’t buy: polyester, acrylic, nylon, acetates or spandex. Brands are clever, they use different names, if in doubt, look them up. Vote with your wallets, ladies!
