Fat Clothes

I really hate how its assumed if you've got a small back size - I'm a 32 now - then you must have no boobs, and likewise, my larger girlfriend finds that if you're a large backsize, she's about a 44, then it follows that you have mountainous mammaries!

In Australian sizes I'm now a 12DD, quite hard to find standard off the rack in your average lingerie boutique, unless you want to make a trip to a specialist store. You really have to hunt, find a bra you like and then resort to buying them online once you've been lucky enough to land upon one in the store.

I've always found that manufacturers/designers thought that women grew taller as they grew fatter.

Hehe I have to admit its been years since I shopped at lane bryant but used to their normal pants were more like capris for me. Which I stoped wearing due to swelling in my lower legs.
