You need to go shop at ThredUP

It's basically like... a thrift-store for clothes online.  That's not even the best way to describe it but the important thing is... THEY HAVE A PLUS SIZE SECTION. .

Now, granted- a lot of the stuff in the plus section is... well.. shit.  But some of it isn't and it's REDONK cheap.  IGIGI Dresses for $40 anyone? (a few of them were even cute!) .

There's lots of stuff for 24/26 especially, and a few things here and there for 28/30/32.  You can sort items by size if you want so you ONLY see stuff in your size, and when you sign up at THIS LINK you get $10 off your first order! .

PLUS if you want to send them some of YOUR stuff, they'll send out a bag for you to use to ship it to them for free for consideration.  Then they'll evaluate, sort, and assess the items- pay you for stuff they can list to sell (either paypal, credit or check I believe.. or store credit) .

They have an app too android and iphone.  I'm ordering an igigi dress for $25, and a vest for $25 and getting a cleanout bag to send in my own stuff.  Plus if you sign up at the link I posted above, YOU get $10 in your account and I get $10 too (wheee). .

i’ve made the same mistake and got called out on it really rudely so i didn’t want the same thing to happen to you :) <3

heads up, it should be ‘the difficulty faced by transgender people’, not ‘transgendered people.’ here’s an explanation! tinyurl.com/ye6v7d3

Thank you so much for your encouragement! We do always make note, on the product page, of the brand, country of origin, and materials used. What we also do, on nearly every single page, is provide you with the fit notes of an item. We are not perfect, but we are always working to improve. Which is why I really hope the people I contacted about trying these fishnets will take me up on the offer.

If there are brands you would love to see us carry, please let us know! Some are impossible for us to get if a brand has a contract with large chain stores, but we can always try.

I gotta say, as a plus-sized person I didn't really expect all that to happen last night, but I will be more mindful of word choice and explain that I am repeating what it says on the package in future. I got a lot of messages commenting on my body, and, basically, telling me I'm not "fat enough". Which is really similar to the kind of thing I, and many other people, have heard all my life from TV, peers, and even my own mother: "You're not skinny enough." When I first started working for Sock Dreams, I had self esteem so low and expansive you could carpet a room with it. It is only very recently that I have begun to really love my body the way it is, and that is partly from wonderful blogs like Stop Hating Your Body, partly the support and love of my husband and co-workers, and a huge chunk of me being ready to love myself.

I think that everyone, including myself, needs to take a breath and remember to treat each other and ourselves with respect. I don't know everyone's story. But what I do know is that we are all beautiful. I see the photos that we take here, or the ones you all post on tumblr, and sometimes it just moves me to tears.

Thank you for sticking with us, for being honest with us, and for treating us with respect. We will continue to work to improve our own brand, and to push the other brands we carry for greater diversity. We do this for you.

I'm going to take a wild guess which one more people will pay attention to.

People rarely talk to me on here, and no one ever asks me questions, so I am pretty excited about this!

Rule 1: Post the Rules.

Rule 2: Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post then make 11 new ones.

Rule 3: Tag 11 people and link them to your post.

Rule 4: Let them know you’ve tagged them.

1. Whatcha doin?

Right now...I am starting to fill this out. I probably wont complete it right away. Then, I am going to play some Zelda before starting to get ready for work.

...welll, now I am off work, and downloading season 1 of Seinfeld....

2. Who is your favorite non-disney animated character?

Favorite non-Disney animated character...Louise from Bob's Burgers!

3. Who is your favorite Disney animated character?

Oh man, I don't even know. I am not very much into Disney movies and stuff...Maybe Belle...

4. Movies made before 1975! Have you seen many of them? Which ones stand out?

I just saw The Conversation directed by Francis Ford Coppola, it came out in 73 I think. (Googled it, it was 74...) It was pretty intense and not what I expected. It only stands out because I just saw it...I am sure there are several from before 75 that I have seen, I am just not good at keeping track of years of release, or much of anything really. I only know The Conversation came out before 75 because my boyfriend is really into movies 

5. How do you have any hang ups about food? Is there some stuff you won’t can’t eat because of its texture, color etc.

UGH, water chestnuts...just thinking about them makes me want to scratch my face, I don't know why. The texture just drives me crazy. There are other things too, but I couldn't think of them.

6. Are you into politics if yes why, if no why not? (also just your country or are you more internationally plugged in)

I wouldn't say I am "into' politics...I like to keep up with what is going on, but I rarely share my opinion online, because I don't like to deal with people...

7. Which writer and/or director (film, tv, theater) gives the most FEELS ? Moffat and Whedon are usually are first choice but feel free to pick anyone.

Oh, definitely Joss Whedon. Firefly is my favorite show. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Buffy and Angel, I haven't seen Dollhouse (I have tried) but I am really considering giving it another chance!

8. What sort of accessories do you add to your outfit when you’re dressing for the day (I mean you’re going somewhere and thus care somewhat about your look).

I don't accessorize...I am bad at clothes...

9. What is that one event/occurrence in your life you wish you had a picture of?

There are so many events I wish I had pictures of, but right now, I regret not taking more pictures from high school...Ever since my friend Misty died I just wish I had more pictures, memories, and I just wish I had spent time with her after high school. There are about five people from high school that I see on any kind of regularity....and I just can't believe I will never see her again...it wasn't anything I had ever thought about before she died...

10. Music taste time! Pick a handful of artists/ groups from different genres and tell me why you dig ‘em.

Brand New is my favorite band from high school, so I still love them, I am really into  Mumford and Sons right now, and I love Coheed and Cambria...I can't think of anything else right now...oh The Decemberists, and my boyfriend introduced me to STRFKR recently and I really like them...but why I dig any of these people...couldn't tell you, just like the sound.

11. If you were Bender (Avatar universe) what element do you think based on your personality you’d bend? (No you cannot be the avatar and bend them all). Not an ATLA fan? Then: regardless of your astrological sign what element do you feel most in tune with?

I don't know about personality or astrological signs and things, but I would either want to bend earth or water!

  1.    Tell me about your pets!

2.    What was the last thing you bought yourself? (Not like twizzlers)

4.    What is your favorite beer? (I am not good at this)

6.    What is the last book you read?

7.    What is a movie you ended up liking despite not wanting to see it?

8.    If you want babies, what do you want to name them? If you don’t want babies, what do you think I should name mine?

10. Who do you love most of the world?
