‘—in my heart there was a kind of fighting.’ (Hamlet)

In a previous ask, I’ve said that while DA fashion is certainly geared toward thin people and only has thin representation, there is no reason why plus sized bodies cannot wear these fashions. Just because clothes pictured or an aesthetic is aimed at thin people (which is its own terrible problem of lacking body representation) I want to emphasize that plus sized people can wear whatever they want. As someone who isn’t by any means skinny either, I do not dress differently than the advice I give to people on here or differently than my thin friends. In the end it’s about what you want to wear and what makes you feel confident. I realize this may not be the answer you wanted, as it offers no solution just an explanation and acknowledgement of the lack of plus sized representation in DA and other aesthetics and in the general media. Ultimately, you should wear what makes you feel happy and bad ass. That’s all there is to fashion, and it’s the best advice I have to offer to anyone.

No. No. You may only call me ‘Mrs. Darcy’ when you are completely, perfectly, and incandescently happy.
