AIBU?

to be annoyed that it's easier for fat women than for short women to buy clothes.

A new Simply Be has opened here. We now have that and Evans. I should imagine the moderately stout can get into clothes in most shops. If you're short, there are rarely dedicated shops and the choice is limited and twee.
Obviously there is money to be made in the plus size market. It's just one of life's unfairnesses that the cake munchers are rewarded for their lack of self control with clothes to fit them.

I thought that a fair few of the shops on the high street now had petite ranges for the shorter lady. Is this not the case?

There are petite ranges in most stores. And the y go up to size 18+ so I guess petite just means short-arse.

I'm just odd shaped all over, nothing ever looks right on me.

You should have eaten your greens when younger, then you wouldn't be such a short arse.

You're welcome.

An increasing number of shops are doing petite stuff as part of their normal ranges though (I'm 4'11, size 8). I live in Primark short skinny jeans and the length is just about right.

Biscuit at cake munchers though. Get your judgy pants off.
