Last weekend I went to Lane Bryant in search for some khakis and completer pieces and guess what I found? The perfect outfits to become a celebrity on the People of Walmart website. I am not sure who you are, but it needs to stop. Just stop. You are not doing us any favors by making skinny pants with little ankle zippers. Some ladies might not know how to dress their bodies to flatter so they are dependent on you to assemble a trendy, slimming wardrobe. Well, guess what, Lane Bryant? You can't fool me.
Stuffed Sausage:
- I know that even though skinny pants are "in" this season, I won't be putting them on my body. I don't want to look like an overstuffed sausage.
- I also know that ankle pants make plus-sized beauties look short and stubby. An athletically built 5'2" girl can pull off ankle pants, but you know we can't. It is almost humorous how poorly you are encouraging us to dress.
- I understand that people like to dress to be comfortable. However, that doesn't mean that all plus-sized girls like to wear stretchy fabrics all the time. Do you realize that T-shirts get all stuck up in one's fat rolls and then makes it look like we just got out of bed? Is that the look that you are going for? Give us a little structure and respect.
- Our arms might be chubbier than some, but that doesn't mean that we want our sleeves to start at our elbows. You have the expertise to create tops that don't scream "I NEED TO WEAR PLUS SIZE. CHECK OUT THE ELASTIC ON MY SHIRT!" Please do so.
- Horizontal stripes. Really?
Sincerely,
Natalie
