Everything is so blowsy and billowy. Especially at high end stores, why is it so hard to find simple, form fitting, non-see thru, clothing for a healthy sized woman?
The only store that fits me well is bebe and half of that stuff is skanky vegas apparel.
ASOS.com! They label things that are form fitting as "bodycon" and most of their dresses are fitted in the torso. (As a busty woman, I find it hard to get things to fit my bust and waist.)

I love making my own clothes. Heck, there are times where my sewing machine and serger are sitting directly next to each other because I'm going back and forth so often. I just have to remember which foot pedal is which!

For women who need really long inseams, there are places online that can make custom jeans for a pretty decent price. If you're feeling crafty, a pair of pants are not terribly hard to make, either. Just tedious.

One of the ugliest pieces of womens clothing are pants where the legs stop anywhere just below the knee to just above the ankle. Seeing a 5-4" size 12 woman wearing them with socks and sneakers is an ugly sight to see.

Capris I'm a huge fan since it's so hard to find pants that are long enough for me, but mine stop right below the knee and I wear summer wedges with them. Makes for a cute summery look

So true. This is why I stick to only two brands(TH & LB) and buy the rest at low budget stores like Ross or TJMaxx.

My fat *ss can't be wearing these trendy clothes.
