To think summer is a miserable time for fat people?

[HackerFucker22]

Caveat by saying immediately I am a good 2st (actually closer to 3st!!) overweight so this isn't a fat bashing thread.

First few proper sunny days and I am frantically trying to find weather appropriate clothes that don't make me look like a whale.

I am hot and sweaty

I am stressed as I have 3 weddings need 2 outfits and I can't find a damn thing.

I went out to buy some new tops today and came back with baggy, shapeless t-shirts.

I am dreading the next few months.

I am properly fat. I wear linen trousers with a proper waistband and fastenings (no elasticated shite) and crisp, three-quarter length sleeved cotton or linen shirts/tunics. I spend a lot of time looking for them on-line and in the shops. I have a good haircut, stick a necklace on, slap on some lipstick and stomp around sweating profusely. Face powder is helpful. I use a good deodorant.

I feel I look nearly ok(for a lump of lard who is leaking oily sweat like a sausage on the grill) and if other folk don't like it they can always look away.

I love summer until I'm sweltering in jeans and a cardy to overcome chub rub and arm flab. And this year I'm the biggest I've ever been and so so miserable.

Do you have anything pleasant or constructive to add or are you just here to knock people down?

First you said maxi dresses don't suit anyone over a size 10, which is just nonsense.

Now it's people with chub rub.

Why don't you go and be condescending elsewhere?

Armi where do you find these lovely tops/shirts? I need some!

Have a stone of baby weight to lose and the dreaded chub rub has started already. Not even technically over weight but can't fit any of my nice summer clothes and have to be quite slim not to get chafing.

Arms all blotchy with KP that I get while BF.

BF is horrendously sweaty.

I can't wear wide leg trousers because the hems drag in the gritty stone path I have to walk.

Trying harems but even then my thighs find a way to rub if there is any drop in the crotch.

Sitting here with sweat btw my big BF boobs. Dreaming of Christmas.

where have I been condescending?
Do you only like the comments where people agree with you?

I said that the only ones who can get away with looking good when it comes to wearing cheap maxi dresses tend to be those who are slim.
It's true. Those of us who are bigger (and older) only look good if the dress is very well made and isn't cheap material. That applies to most clothes.
As for for your second gripe, It IS true that you didn't get creams for 'cub rub' years ago.

Would you like me to rewrite history for you? Would you be happy then?

Perhaps because we have creams for everything now? Because science you know, creates stuff?

Plenty of women on this thread (including me) have said they look great in maxi dresses. And been told so by other people. So there goes your 'size 10 and below only' nonsense.

And there have been things invented recently to cover lots of different things. That's where the Internet is great.

No, chub rub is not a new thing. I'm 42 and have been suffering it for almost 30 years now.

Or what witsender said

im with Tigger on maxi dress hate

i have a good pal who is over a size 20
she looks great in shorts, flared trousers. Her colour choice is superb. i have never seen her look hot - she holidays abroad and goes on the beach with not a care in teh world

missisbluesky, don't talk hooey. Of course people had chafing and thighs that rubbed together 20 years ago. I expect there was less chance for people to do much about it, less places to have a whinge about it, and more people suffering in misery because gawd forbid people should have bits of flesh that might rub together.

and posts like this....

I think maxi dresses should be banned.Unless you're very slim and the dress is well-cut and not some cheap rubbish off the high street) then the majority of women usually end up looking like Demis Roussos.If you're large, then adding yards and yards of material (as in a maxi dress) will only serve to make you look bigger.It's not a good look.
.....make me want to go out in a maxi dress with 'bite my fat arse' written on it.

A pair of well-cut Linen trousers, teamed with the types of tops you describe can look really classy and 'cool' in summer.

Whatever turns you on.
Go for it!

Eponas do you have a link to the Amazon maxi dresses you mentioned, please?

I got chub rub twenty years ago (well, nearly) - just because there were no creams for it didn't mean it didn't exist! All sorts of products we have now didn't exist then either, it doesn't mean that the issue they are designed for didn't exist either. Some slim people get it, some overweight people don't. It's not a new phenomenon.

I got chub rub when I was 11/12 and that's 25 years ago. I was slim then but unless you have a thigh gap and don't sweat you still get it.

My sewing machine embroiders letters...

If I wore a maxi dress I think I'd look like Demise Roussos or one of those terrible sofa covers you see in Sunday supplements! I live in joggies and t-shirts. I'm one of those guilty of not going places and hiding in my own company though. Life history of being told how awful I look by batshit crazy mother and her batshit crazy family.

A fat arse in a maxi dress is really attractive. It's the shape most of us want - big arse, slim teeny waist, big boobs.

It's when everything else is fat that the dress isn't going to look that great on.

Who are you, the fat person apparel approval committee?

We get it. Fat people disgust you. I think your contribution to the thread ends there.
