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.

Fatties are so selfish, should just wear the sacks that their food comes in shouldnt they?! Buy some heels if your that short or learn to sew

amothersplaceisinthewrong · 01/11/2012 15:32

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?

CollieEyeOfNewt · 01/11/2012 15:32

My mum is both fat and short. It may happen to you.

INeedThatForkOff · 01/11/2012 15:34

Fucking hell, this is the first proper LOL op I've read on here in ages!

ObiWan · 01/11/2012 15:34

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.

PenisColada · 01/11/2012 15:35

I too am a short fat person.

However do I manage ?

squoosh · 01/11/2012 15:35

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

You're welcome.

ouryve · 01/11/2012 15:35

I'm a size 14. I can shop at shops for fat women and skinny women. Take that!

EmpressOfTheSevenRomanCandles · 01/11/2012 15:35

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.
