Why are large people considered ugly/less important when it comes to clothes/buying fashion by manufactures?

Answer 1

I agree...I think it's terrible that clothes are made so differently just because you are overweight. My mom has been overweight her whole life, and although she is very pretty, she always had such a rough time finding clothes because manufacturers create clothing that is not fit for anyone. In fact, it only makes the person look less attractive. It is the corrupt media that has put ideas into the heads of Americans that the ideal woman is skinny. Men like a little meat on their bones, despite what the media has brainwashed them with.

Answer 2

Im a big girl, and im sick of not finding clothes in high street shops. They have improved a bit, a few shops go up to size 20 now (UK) so its getting better, but I get most of mine from a mail order company that specialises in larger clothes, wide shoes etc, and most of my (skinny) mates love my clothes and keep asking where I get them. Im a size 18-20 and find most shops only go up to a 16.

We do seem to be the forgotten few, i think America may have better availability for larger sizes than we have.

If anyone wants the name of the catalogue i use, feel free to email me.

1. How important do you think timelessness/agelessness should be when considering names for a child? I think that if they are timeless then it is an advantage, however, it really shouldn't matter. What should matter when naming your baby is that you love the name, it means something to you, and that it isn't stupid or something the kid will get bullied for. Agelessness isn't first priority for me. 2. Which of these categories of names do your favorites generally fall into? Which ones do you think make the best choices for a child? a) Modern Trendy Names: Names that were either invented or discovered in our time. (examples: Madison, Peyton, Camryn, Nevaeh, Kayla, Caitlin, Brayden, Kade, Hunter, Riley, Cole) b) Classic Comeback Names: Classic names that may have seemed "old-ladyish" or "old-mannish" a generation ago but are definitely back in style. They have the advantage of sounding stylish, but the disadvantage that if they once sounded like old-people names, they'll probably sound like old-people names again someday. (examples: Stella, Ruby, Hazel, Emma, Clara, Sophia, Eleanor, Henry, Jack, Julius, Zeke) c) Ahead-of-the-Trend Names: Names that seem almost ready to come back in style but haven't quite yet. They currently seem "old-ladyish" or "old-mannish" to most, but choosing one of these could make you a trendsetter, and when your child is an old man, his name might sound younger than he is. (examples: Dorothy, Sylvia, Gloria, Lois, Ruth, Walter, Arthur, Lawrence, Gilbert) d) Behind-The-Trend Names: Names that were most in style one or two generations ago. They might sound a bit dated, but they have the advantage of being very "normal" sounding while ensuring that your child won't be one of five in her kindergarten class. (examples: Jessica, Heather, Diane, Lisa, Cheryl, Brian, Scott, Eric, Todd, Jeremy, Jason) e) Timeless Names: Names that have been in use relatively consistently for the last 100 years and can't be dated to a specific decade. (examples: Elizabeth, Katherine, Miriam, Rachel, Caroline, Lydia, James, William, Victor, Samuel, Grant) f) Oddball Names: Names that are so uncommon they can't feel typical of any era and thus have some of the timelessness of the category above. (examples: Demetria, Rosamund, Evadne, Gawain, Abdiel, Piers) B) Classic Comebacks probably, my kid's names are Jacob James and Lily Belle. 3. Which of those six categories above do you like least or think makes the worst choice for a child? Oddball names, to be obvious, haha! They can be nice but often the parents just seem to be trying too hard. Good survey!!

Answer 4

They aren't considered, so to speak, in the same way the thin and the rich aren't considered, beyond their spending power. Its all economics - averagely, they calculate that larger people are more likely than the thin to be poor, and therefore clothes aren't really marketed at them. It isn't a judgement, but it probably feels like one.

Answer 5

Well, a friend of mine reckons that it is supply and demand. Years ago, when there was a lot of people had little to eat, plump people were the "beautiful ones."Rubens's paintings=an example. Now that Westerners have plenty to eat, it's the ones who don'e eat who are considered beautiful. Mad or what?

Answer 6

They aren't.

There are many beautiful clothing choices for larger women out there.

I don' know where you shop, but I have a smokin' hot wardrobe and I wear a size 18.
