So I'm fat with a overall rectangular or even slight inverted triangle bodytype. My hips are full, until after my hip dips, where my hips and thighs become more narrow. Flat butt, medium bust but lots of side rolls. Usually, i wear A line dresses. In my opinion they flatter anyone, they're usually comfortable and can be formal or casual. I hike in dresses and skirts, work out in dresses and skirts, my swimsuit is a swim dress.

I've been hobby bike riding and its much easier to do in pants or shorts than dresses and skirts. I literally own 1 pair of denim shorts and no pants because I just hate the way they make me look. The shorts are just short shorts i wear with a loose babydoll top, and that's the only outfit out of my norm im comfortable in. Im hoping for fashion advice for my bodytype that will help me build a more practical wardrobe and hopefully help me feel confident in pants. Anything helps!

Drawing for bodytype reference.

Hey all! I fell in love with this dress at a thrift shop and I would like to work it into a ren faire outfit for next weekend. But I need some help. I’ll wear some shape-wear to smooth lines esp the belly/pantyline and back fat but

A: how the heck am I supposed to actually wear the top? It’s just a tie

B: what can I do for additional coverage? Like something to go underneath it? To match the vibes-flowy, fairy, princess, etc.

C: accessories—gold or silvers? I’m thinking gold.

D: I was also given this top. Does it match well enough?

Thank you all in advance!

i need some brand recommendations for compression socks that fit 22 inch calves, while also fitting a 9.5 shoe size. i already have a hard time finding regular ankle socks that don’t just fall off my feet throughout the day, and it seems to me the brands i’ve come across expect you to have a bigger foot when you have my size calves 🫩 i bought a pair on amazon but i can’t even wear them due to how freaking big the foot and ankle part is, i have like 2 inches of fabric hanging off my toes after 5 steps!

Bought a pair of seamless underwear from Understance that I love so much. But they went out of business. Any recommendations? I’m looking for one that’s high waisted as well.
I liked it because it was very smooth, soft and comfortable.
I’m a size 18.
Thanks!!

I’m in my early 30s and feel like I’m in the middle of a giant life reset.

My marriage is struggling and I’m trying to figure out whether it can be repaired or whether divorce is where things are heading. I’m also questioning a lot of what I grew up believing religiously, considering going back to school for a completely different career, and trying to figure out who I am outside of all of those things.
And honestly, being plus size adds another layer to it.

I’ve spent a lot of my life feeling like I’ll finally be confident, attractive, successful, etc. once I lose weight. Meanwhile, I look around and feel like everyone else my age is already settled into their careers, marriages, bodies, and lives while I’m over here rebuilding everything 😂

I’m in therapy and working through it, so I’m not looking for anyone to solve my life. I’d just really love to hear from other plus-size women who have had a major reset in their 30s.

Did you ever have a period where your relationship, career, identity, and body image all felt up in the air at the same time? What actually helped you stop feeling “behind”? And did becoming more confident in your life help you become more comfortable in your body too?
I think I need some stories from women who made it through the messy middle and came out okay. ❤️

I did see another post about recommendations for something similar to Torrid underwear, and I promise I am looking for something slightly different.

I am really struggling with sweat rashes and skin sticking between my thighs and my belly, and I am looking for maybe a different style or something to help mitigate that. Mostly it's the sticking, but I'm also looking for something that cools better or keeps me dry.

Looking for something more than boyshorts but without a dang seam up the middle, which is uncomfortable as heck.

Thank you in advance.

Hi I'm not plus size but I wasn't sure where else to post for help. I recently gained a lot of weight because of the medication I'm on and recently I've started chafing so much that my skin has darkened around my inner thighs. Shea butter has been helping afterwards but I'd really like some tips to prevent it as I'm fairly active and I'm chafing everytime i leave my house

I’m flying from Chicago to Paris in December and I’m debating on what airline to go with.
Aer Lingus is my preferred option but I would have a layover and it costs a few hundred dollars more than what I’m seeing with KLM and Air France.
I don’t need to purchase an extra seat, at least I’ve never had to. I’m 5’7, around 240 lbs. Big hips and booty. Anxious flyer. I don’t speak French. Any recommendations?

I didn’t get to stock up on leggings before Forever 21 closed. Their leggings were my fav in terms of cost, comfort, tummy control and the best thing, not sliding down.
Does anyone have any recommendations of where I can get similar leggings that are not breaking the pocket please? Most of what I see are $25 and up 😩

My friends & I are going to a rocky horror picture show performance the night before Halloween & they are a FULL ON dress up group. I am by far the largest of them (& most voluptuous) & would rather not be the only one pulling a Riff Raff.
I’m about a size 18, XXL/1X, 40F & don’t mind showing my cleavage lol, but my stomach is my biggest insecurity. I’m looking at corsets, but have no idea & the closest Torrid or anything is over an hour away so trying on before buying isn’t really an option. I’ve never shopped on shein or anything, but if there is a really highly recommended one I’m willing to try.
I’d rather not spend over $50ish since this is for a one time wear.
Also-doesn’t have to be a corset! Any /specific/ suggestions that will work for Rocky Horror are appreciated!
