http://fatgirlsarefabtoo.blog.co.uk/There are worse things in the world than being fat. Or lardy, a chubster, a fatso, voluptuous, curvy, cuddlesome, obese, overweight, roly-poly....This blog celebrates the curvaceous beauty. I'm going to be posting inspirational links, musings, photos of cool curvy girls, and daring you to realise that there is life beyond Weightwatchers.en-EUMokoFeed10http://fatgirlsarefabtoo.blog.co.uk/http://data5.blog.de/design/preview/a3/8ee722943adffcd731368a5d933b3e_160x200.jpghttp://fatgirlsarefabtoo.blog.co.uk/2009/09/24/enough-of-the-real-woman-7031346/#c11062396tag:fatgirlsarefabtoo.blog.co.uk,2009-09-29:/2009/09/24/enough-of-the-real-woman-7031346/#c11062396Tue, 29 Sep 2009 09:14:28 +0200They both look great.

And I can't think of any excuses for wearing a dress like that down the pub! Maybe my style is just more casual but Anna just didn't inspire me.

You are an iconoclast, Sarah. To come up with the idea that thin models are because fashion designers are lazy is utter genius. You've GOT TO get that into the zeitgeist!<br> <br> Even better - thin models are a way of getting around a lack of talent.<br> <br> Look back to the 1940s and 50s and designers had to use skill and talent to create beautiful outfits for women who were woman shaped and not straight up and down. That sort of skill has died and today anyone can be a designer because anyone can draw a piece of cloth that hangs well on an ironing board and then get some sweatshop machinist to run it up. <br> <br> With today's shapeless models there is no need for design students to develop the dressmaking skills essential in the past.<br> <br> So the whole thin model thing is a smokescreen. <br> <br> Bring back proper fashion designers who can make clothes for the actual people buying them!<br> <br> Get this out there. <br> <br> Create the change you want to see in the world.<br> http://fatgirlsarefabtoo.blog.co.uk/2009/09/22/queen-simply-be-s-fame-is-spreading-7016342/#c11013510http://fatgirlsarefabtoo.blog.co.uk/2009/09/22/anna-anna-anna-what-are-you-doing-7016426/#c11011470tag:fatgirlsarefabtoo.blog.co.uk,2009-09-23:/2009/09/22/anna-anna-anna-what-are-you-doing-7016426/#c11011470Wed, 23 Sep 2009 10:35:06 +0200*Blush* I quite like it.

They do have ranges of clothes for younger women and I get a lot of stuff from Simply Be especially.<br> <br> Another good place for up to a 22 is Dorothy Perkins. Most of their range is available up to a 22 and it's cheap(ish) cheerful stuff that is usually on trend and not frumpy. Evans go through stages where nothing in the sop is even remotely appealing but then if you catch them at the right time they have loads in and you just have to max out your card before anyone buys it all up!http://fatgirlsarefabtoo.blog.co.uk/2009/06/20/new-look-not-very-inspirational-for-plus-sizes-6348770/#c10986654http://fatgirlsarefabtoo.blog.co.uk/2009/06/20/new-look-not-very-inspirational-for-plus-sizes-6348770/#c10827553tag:fatgirlsarefabtoo.blog.co.uk,2009-09-02:/2009/06/20/new-look-not-very-inspirational-for-plus-sizes-6348770/#c10827553Wed, 02 Sep 2009 14:32:31 +0200These shops think us curvier girls don't want to look stylish! The clothes are designed by skinny girls who don't have a clue about what we are looking for! <br> <br> I'm on the hunt at the min for some nice holiday clothes but everything I come across in my size are things my grandmother would wear not me aged 23!

Love the concept and am a Beth Ditto fan, but there isn't anything there that I would actually wear.

The crop black jacket is great, perfect for the confused weather we are having. I also got the stainglass prom dress which I love, and also the face jumper which is lovely, but not for the summer, great for sparkling up the winter.<br> <br> The stud and jewelled belt was the best buy as i have worn it loads already. <br> <br> I got the domino dress, more as it was the statement piece, I have worn it once, the problem is the length is odd on me, so I will need to gert my sewing kit out.<br> <br> I agree that it was a bit of a try hard collection, just wish there had been more of the accesories to choose from.<br> <br> Loving the blog, keep it up!http://fatgirlsarefabtoo.blog.co.uk/2009/07/21/beth-ditto-the-collection-6561571/#c10494732http://fatgirlsarefabtoo.blog.co.uk/2009/05/07/fat-girl-has-sex-shocker-6075619/#c10484988tag:fatgirlsarefabtoo.blog.co.uk,2009-07-22:/2009/05/07/fat-girl-has-sex-shocker-6075619/#c10484988Wed, 22 Jul 2009 14:34:11 +0200Free Comics<br> http://www.halffry.comhttp://fatgirlsarefabtoo.blog.co.uk/2009/05/07/fat-girl-has-sex-shocker-6075619/#c10484988http://fatgirlsarefabtoo.blog.co.uk/2009/07/21/beth-ditto-the-collection-6561571/#c10478008tag:fatgirlsarefabtoo.blog.co.uk,2009-07-21:/2009/07/21/beth-ditto-the-collection-6561571/#c10478008Tue, 21 Jul 2009 19:16:35 +0200No you're not being harsh. I agree. Spotty leggings would look hideous on anyone, any size!<br> I think most of Evans clothes are pretty shapeless.
