FatToo Love

Hello! First of all, I totally love short haircuts on women. Don’t ever let someone tell you that you can’t pull something off because it won’t be ‘flattering’.

I’ve seen SO many chubby faces look absolutely stunning with short locks. I, myself, definitely want a pixie cut at some point. I’m going to wait awhile to jump the gun just because I’ve been growing my hair out awhile and I really want long copper hairs, but it is something I want in the future. If you’re really wanting to do it right now, then totally do it.

After frequent demand for a FatToo group that will work for selling and buying smaller plus sizes, I am pleased to announce the opening of FatToo Lite, the Prequel exclusively for sizes 12 to 18.

The Roolz are similar as with FatToo, but this group is, again, exclusively for sizes 12-18. (Combo size 18/20 can be listed in FatToo Lite, the Prequel or in FatToo). 

This is a Facebook group, so use your account to request access here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/713161495442941/ 

NOW Open! FatToo Expectant — buy / sell / trade your gently used plus size maternity clothing. 

Fatshion Bloggers Make Plus-Size Chic

This story was produced in partnership with The Daily Beast.

Short of having a bucket of blood dumped over your head at prom, few things compare to the humiliation of being the only customer browsing the racks of an overpriced lingerie store and hearing the painfully chic saleswoman — who’d begrudgingly buzzed you in — loudly proclaim, “I wish people would realize we don’t stock sizes larger than a medium.”

Anyone who’s ever attempted to shop at a schmancy boutique in a body that’s larger than a size 10 already knows that buying big-girl garb requires a skin that’s nearly as thick as your waistline. Fat-loathing is the last acceptable prejudice, and nowhere is that more pronounced than in the world of fashion.

“I have a genuine hatred reserved for cut-out shoulders, drawstring waists, loud prints, cargo pants, waterfall cardigans and hanky hems,” says 28-year-old British blogger Lauren Ding. “It’s so difficult to find something that is not only my style, but that fits well.”

Which may account for the recent explosion of so-called “fatshion” blogging — the tag used by hordes of plus-size bloggers who are melding the two worlds. Until recently, fashion blogging had been the domain of straight-sized women. But sick of being ignored by fashion mags and relegated to sack dresses with screeching prints, a growing number of women — unapologetically plump, and tired of being treated like third-class citizens — are taking their musings online. They post OOTDs (outfits of the day) and ruminate on body positivity. Many of them, as a backdrop to skinny models storming the runways of New York Fashion Week, have started calling this month “Fatshion February” — and are blogging aggressively in its honor.

FatToo.com was mentioned in the Daily Beast today! Yay!
