wearing clothes too small

[Safiya]

ive seen tons of posts on different sites about larger women wearing clothes too small for them so they just blibber out all over the place. Today i was in town and stood ages waiting for my mate to come out of a shop...... there was nothing else to do but people watch..... i saw loads of women with clothes too small for them (sometimes wayyyyy to small) but it wasnt just the bigger women...it was women of all sizes...... why the heck do they do it? do they think it looks sexy or do they think they arent the size they really are... or maybe they bought clothes that fit in the first place then just chucked em on a 60 wash... whichever it looks bloody awful.... the worst was of course leggings (with short floaty tops)..omg its supposed to look nice and floaty...not bursting at the seams!

i agree. a particular dislike of mine is women who wear bras that are too small, making it look like they have 1 boob accross their front

[bednobs]

sorry that should read 4 boobs

No one should ever wear black leggings.

They should be against the law.

haha yeah i know what you mean...... i was actually gobsmacked at some of them..... quite a few had those maxi dresses on..... you could barely see the straps on some of them and their boobs were squiding out the sides :s if they had just worn a bigger size they would have looked lovely

Like men with huge beer bellies walking around with no top on Hopkirk ??!!

I'm glad to be able to report that doesn't apply to me!

oops my last reply was to bednobs.. didnt see the other replies sorry

there were a few of those notas and also quite a lot with too small tshirts on with a belly hanging out looking very a la homer simpson

the clothing companys could help 2short.... if they re-labelled everything 4 sizes smaller ..say a size 20 to a size 16 it may work lol

There is an exception to every rule Pa_ul.

[notasyoungasiwas]

pa_ul3 I can't remember now when I posed for that shot ...

[Safiya]

dont think its to do with fat and thin days quassia..... we all have those but dont all squeeze ourselves into clothes 4 or more sizes too small (at least it looks like that)

[Quassia]

True! Did take a 14s in to the dressing room though & thought .... hmmm! NO!! lol!!

I can remember many decades ago an acquaintance who refused to be seen taking anything over size 10 into the changing rooms. hence her skirts never zipped up all the way.
If you are sensitive to it, it is certainly the case that some shop staff alleviate their boredome by finding ways to moack customers, and being sturdily built gives these sorts no end of entertainment. So I can understand why some women might feel intimidated and end up buying clothes too small.

where I live its leggings and a hand held bag of chips as an accessory !pushing a push chair and shoving the odd chip in the poor kid's mouth.

Is it only me who likes to wear baggy clothes to hide all the lumps & bumps ?
I had a friend who used to wear cloth two sizes too small and I always felt like singing "June is busting out all over" from Carousel but I didnt as she was such a nice person.
