I'm an overweight woman. Let me give you MY perspective on this, okay?
The majority of the clothing manufactured is made for the other end of the spectrum. Quite often, they take what looks good on a thin person and enlarge it for us.
Very few designers stop and consider how it truly looks. And most overweight women are so grateful to get anything in their size, they'll buy it.
Now then, for the turnaround. Do you thin women know how tired we are of seeing parts of your body not meant to be seen in public? If we have to dress inoffensively, why not you?

You can't see the world through someone else's eyes. Just because it's displeasing to you, does not mean it's displeasing to everyone. Believe it or not, there are men in the world that only want a big girl. Also, not every fat girl wants to be a thin one and she may very well be comfortable in her bigness. Therefore she will wear what makes her feel good. Some people think models are too skinny and everything they wear does not compliment the waifs body. The bottom line is this: we don't have to like it, but unfortunately, we do have to live with it!

I think there is nothing wrong with big women. I have seen many that I found quite attractive. However the other day I was at a water park and saw a few that were discusting. Just for everyone's information. After 250 lbs, thongs should be out. The same for short shorts and if your belly sticks out more than 4 inches, belly button rings are not attractive. This is just my opinion.

Probably because they feel that it equates them with there stick figure counter parts you know their why of saying I'm just as good. The sad fact is that only 1% of people look good in skimpy clothing.
Let's ask why anyone would chose to where clothing that shows more flesh than the general public wants to see. I feel the same way about sistah's gut flowin over her mini skirt as i do about Spikey's tube top showing off her rib cage threatening to put out my eye neither is something i want to see.
More importantly most of the time these outfits scream hood rat or trailer trash. I vote we ban tight revealing clothing from all those who cant where it responsibly regardless of weight

Because they are comfortable with themselves without needing some small size 2 telling them that they look good.
Why do skinny people get to decide what is "attractive" in the world?
Now I will agree, if you are 300lbs and 5'2" you should not be wearing spandex... that's common sense, but if your are thick bodies, or a little overweight and feel comfortable within your own skin, Go for it!

It is an epidemic, but they do make "sexy" clothes for big girls, now why anyone would wear it is beyond me, but they do. There is nothing wrong w/ being confident, but there is also something called decency. There is nothing worse then seeing a size 20+ woman in spandex and they are not going to work out either. Two of my best friends are plus size girls and I know by seeing them, there are nice decent clothing for the big girls, heck look at comedian/actress Monique, she is always dress nicely.

I agree with you that it is not attractive, but they think that might get positive feedback about it and it probably makes them good. They might just be comfortable with how they are...but it gets to a point where it isn't always appropriate. I really don't understand it (then again, I'm a twig) and I also agree with you that you can look sexy and still hide the spare tire. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks it's weird/inappropriate

I guess coz their desire to wear all that trendy stuff puts them in a denial of their real size. Thats not just abt overweight people. Lot of people try to imitate the make-up and dressing sense of
near-perfect looking celebrities, just because they want to look like them, ignoring the fact that it doesnt suit them.

Maybe they can't come to terms with the fact that they are overweight. Denial. Or maybe they have confidence in themselves and fee good about what they are wearing. Don't you ever look in the mirror and think that you look nice and then see a picture of yourself later and go "Oh my god, I looked like crap!"
