As a plus size woman I have something controversial, potentially shameful to admit

I'm desperate for a couple of new, half decent tops. Over the last month I've spent a combined total of over £500 and sent all but one thing back. Nothing fits right. The sizing is all over the place, even from the same shop
No flowers, butterflies, slogans, cold shoulders, palm leaves, polka dots, stripes, sparkly shit or pockets. A nice plain top.

That's exactly what I thought.
It's not even like they've been around and keep coming round (apparently pussy bows are on their way back - yikes!): cold shoulders just had that one moment.
Are they being particularly pushed at plus sizes then?

A bow for my pussy ? 🤣🤣

I'm on the fence about cold-shoulder tops.

As a fellow plus-sized woman, how do you feel about all the damn flowers on every single item of clothing?

There's a tik tok person who has done a huge series of videos about the stuff on the front of plus size clothing :D Its hilarious! Especially the series of talking in said 'slogans'.www.tiktok.com/@chubbymermaids?lang=en

Cold shoulders they were a thing back about 6 years ago not sure anyone worth taking fashion advice from likes them

For those posters wanting a black, fitted, v neck top.

Haven't got a problem with cold shoulder tops or dresses. I do have a problem with bloody frills on the bottom of almost every sodding dress!

Why can't they just make longline, plain black, fitted, deep V neck tops. That's all I want. Not oversize, not with a pocket on the boob, not a high neck, not a short body cut, not bloody floral.

Plain. Black. Fitted. Covers my belly. Deep V neck.

For the same reason one-piece swim suits in sizes 8-20 have the same useless cup size
