I’d love it if C would ocasionally feature and plus sized item or two. The options for the plus size professional are woefully small. If something were highlighted I would jump on it bc frankly I just don’t see that in stores.

I believe the naysayers would feel differently if they only had a handful of shopping options, many of which are no longer doing professional clothing.

I dont have a lot of options as a tall plus sized professional. Someone acknowledging that and pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.

Despite the fact that your blog will obviously become overrun by big fatties (who aren’t partners and don’t actually work in high-powered jobs; only thin women get those jobs) if you start featuring plus-sized clothing, drop me a line because I’d be happy to get involved on that side of things.

For all of you who are apparently offended by the thought of featuring plus-size (or even petite?) clothing on this blog, get over it. No one WANTS to be fat, but it’s a fact of life – even for those of us who are trying to lose weight. Should we walk around naked? Apparently you would have us wear unattractive clothing with a heady sense of self-loathing and shame because of the shapes of our bodies. But here’s the truth: we’re your bosses, your subordinates, your mothers, your sisters, your daughters and your friends. Just because you’re obviously fat-phobic and intolerant doesn’t mean that a blog – which is a business entity, by the way, and it makes sense for them to appeal to the broadest audience possible whether it offends your delicate sensibililties or not – shouldn’t feature that clothing.

For those of you who would point out that the clothing suggestions are just ideas for shape and color, I agree. However, the “shapes” that fit some women do not fit ALL women. By arguing that this blog should show only “regular” sized clothing, you’re essentially arguing also that they should only show clothing that fits a single body type. So all you women who are pear-shaped or apple-shaped, TFB for you. We’re only going to show clothing that fits an hour-glass figure. Fair? Sure!

It is too bad that the internet allows people to make the kind of stupid, intolerant and hurtful comments that appear on this thread. You hate fat people? Fine. Why don’t you tell that to every fat person in your life and see how that turns out for you. But don’t expect a blog or a business to just ignore a significant segment of its readership because you don’t think that fat people “deserve” to see nice clothing.

And to those of you who suggested that fat women get their own clothing blog? Oh, yes, because as a litigator who works 90 hours a week (some weeks), I certainly have the time for that. Seriously: get a grip.

I’d also add that A-line shapes balance out those with broad shoulders as well. As a former swimmer, they give nice balance to my “V-body”.

And the fact that the “average” woman is a apparently now a size 12? Well…I don’t care. It’s not something to be strived for, and I’m simply not going to tip toe around people complaining about this blog who are sensitive about their weight and excusing it by the fact that “everybody’s doing it.”
