Shirts and ties: All thrifted

When I was shopping around a masc suit that would fit a fat woman’s body, there was nearly nothing online to help. So here are some tips for the fat butches shopping for suits:

- Avoid pants with flaws that a tailor can’t fix: length of the zipper, no room for hips/butt, etc

- You will need to get the suit tailored. The two I’m wearing the pics have only been hemmed, I’m getting the jacket tailored soon

- Make sure the jacket has vents in the back, otherwise it’ll look tight and uncomfortable

- Go for tapered or straight fit pants, but don’t get too hung up on that because pants can be easily tapered by a tailor. Be aware that pants with pleats can’t be tapered, though

- Sean John suits had the most hip room and best fit of all the brands I tried. But they are pricey so here are some brand that are cheaper and worth trying: Dockers, Haggar, Covington

1. Bitch, listen. Fatphobia had me down today so I had to show out and remind myself who.tf.I.am.

2. If I could actually walk in heels? Y'all wouldn’t be able to tell my 6'3" ass nothing. Nothing! But I can’t so I had to take pics of these heels that I got back in the day before I realized how clumsy I am, before I give them away lol

3. I am beautiful. Yesterday, today, tomorrow. For myself. With and without affirmation.

It doesn’t take much to put a smile on my face. Just gimme friends, donuts, fizz, and a pool. It is like chicken soup for the soul.
