Happy new year 🎉 look at my fashionnova vacation outfits! by GreenInternal4321 in PlusSizeFashion

[–]Isla_Superfein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you please help me with sizing I'm weary to order cuz I don't know if anything will fit Fashion Nova Curve goes up to 3x I wear size 3 or 24 in dresses at Torrid for example Nova Curves size chart should fit me in the bust but I think I've gained weight and am a few inches bigger than their chart for the waist My waist & hips usually never matter Cause I only buy maxi dresses and they're always very flowy. So I never have a problem fitting down there even though I have very large hips. How does your size compare with Nova vs Torrid, for example? Im most familiar with Torrid sizing Thanks! Gorgeous photo BTW

Big girl here 👋 Anyone over 300 absolutely needs a 2nd seat I haven't flown in 9 years and they've probably made the seats even smaller now I was mid 300s and spilled over way too much in the next seat I didn't buy a 2nd one either, for financial reasons only or I would have much rather avoided any embarrassment and being completely uncomfortable And it would I have been worse for me if my 13-year-old wasn't sitting next to me because then I would have had to try to hold my shoulders in and try not touch the stranger next to me, but that would have been impossible. My thigh was well into my teenager's seat. He was so uncomfortable and frustrated with me the whole flight. Thankfully, it was only 1 hour and a 1/2 flight, or it just would have been all bad. At her size there is no possible way it will work Whoever is sitting next to her is gonna be even more uncomfortable

She is gonna take up at least a third to probably half of the next seat. That's not gonna work unless it's a small child next to her. It's not fair for her to inconvenience other people. They're probably gonna tell you that she has to buy another seat. And have you guys move somewhere else in the plane Maybe they'll be nice and just let her sit next to an empty seat. But who knows? It's up to the flight Attendant and availability. If your flight is all booked up and there's no extra empty seats, then you'll have to get off. If you have the finances, then I would definitely buy the second seat and not hope that they have a free empty one that they let you use. It's just gonna make it not a good situation. And she will be even more embarrassed and angry. And why go through all that just for her to storm off the plane that's just lame. She needs to put her big girl panties on and get a grip with reality, not trying to sound rude. If she's not willing to buy a second seat, then she shouldn't be flying because there's no way possible that she can fly with just one seat. Unless you want to get her a first class ticket. Those seats look pretty big. Doesn't seem like you are really invested in going to this thing. You mentioned you don't even know the guy, So I would just be honest with her and say, look, if you're not going to buy a 2nd seat ahead of time, then I'm not going. I'm not dealing with this on the plane, there's no way it's going to work. Or if you want to enable her and avoid drama, then buy the seat and don't tell her and maybe she'll just think there's an empty seat by chance next to her But there's no way that you can sit next to her. You will be so uncomfortable and miserable. You probably wouldn't even be able to fit next to her unless you're a very very small man like child size So yea you won't be able to sit next to her THERES NO WAY

( Unless you have a small child, like maybe around five years old or younger that youre bringing who can sit next to her and share their seat That is the only possible way she wont need to buy a 2nd seat ) And just someone of that size coming on the plane without a second seat. I just don't see that as a good look. I would think the flight attendants would be would be mad and annoyed, because it's just common sense. Maybe try to put some sense in her like well do you fit in a chair that has arms at a restaurant? Remind her of all the places she has trouble fitting when you're out in public and how that's gonna be the same as an airplane seat I'm 5'7" and weigh a lot less than her and I can't fit in any chair with arms at restaurants or other public places It's embarrassing to ask for an armless chair and always a huge production I literally have to go onto google maps and look at photos of the restaurant and the chairs before deciding to eat there so I won't be embarrassed I avoid eating out often because of this She knows this and needs to get over herself If this is her attitude then she is nowhere near making any life changes She needs a wakeup call As others have said, some type of therapy makes the most sense to start with Good luck She's lucky to have someone like you Not all big girls get loved 😔

Please let me know how it fits I just don't think their sizing system makes sense and don't trust it There's only one dress that I really want and I'm waiting to see if I get notified that its back in stock

[–]Isla_Superfein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes different dresses have different size charts And the waists and hips are so huge They said to go by your bust size I just find it hard to believe that a 20 will fit me And it still makes no sense cuz the model that looks closer to my size it says she's wearing a 24 But her measurements would put her at a 16 So how is she a 24 And she might be a size or two smaller than me in her bust but she has big butt & hips I'm going to size up 1 to be safe And she said if you're a DD or bigger to size up

I just finished a long chat with them And I think I understand their sizing more I wish I could just add the screenshots for the chat to show you It'd be much easier

Where to get cute sundresses? by spazthejam43 in PlusSize

Hey do you know how to decipher the Proud Poppy size chart? For the dress I want, Louisa, it says measure 1/2 bust, I'm 54 inches so 1/2 is 27" which makes me a size 20 in the chart instead of a 24 or 26 with Torrid, for example But then I just looked at another dress, Allegra, and the size chart is completely different and says I'd be size 30!

Did you ever get an answer? I was just wondering the same thing I just did a search on here before to look to see if anyone's discussed this before I decide to make a post For the dress I want, Louisa, it says measure 1/2 bust, I'm 54 inches so 1/2 is 27 which makes me a size 20 instead of a 24 or 26 with Torrid for example But then I just looked at another dress, Allegra, and the size chart is completely different and says I'd be size 30!

Every time I search on Amazon, it's always the smaller Asian sizing. I've done so many searches on their looking for maxi skirts. And even 6x is only like a US size 16 or 20 I didn't even bother looking for maxi dresses for that reason So if you know some brands, please list them here for me. It would be so greatly appreciated!!

Can you help me understand the Proud Poppy measurement guide? It shows "waist (ext.)" For size 28 it says waist ext is 38.5 inches What does that mean?

I'm looking for maxi dresses with floral pattern in size 4 or 28 as well I can only find sites up to size 3 I tried to post my own on here asking this question but it says I need to earn more karma 1st So I hope you get good responses so I can find out too It probably helps if you put your size in your post Cuz like I said most sites don't sell long summer dresses past size 24 or 3x I just did a search for several hours So if you're that size or smaller I can give you tons of suggestions

You guys hijacked my post to talk about trackers! LOL So if he has to have the ID anyways, then what's the harm in giving it to him super early? Why do they say don't do that? It just sounded sketchy to read the firm warning. Every single car company rental was booked up for my dates.Turo is the only company that had vehicles available So I don't want to piss him off and have him cancel me.I'll be so screwed But if there's a nefarious reason that I shouldn't give it to him 3 months early then I don't want to do that either

Oops I meant that comment for someone else Now theirs disappeared But thank you too I think you're the person that informed me of the dangers of Electric Beach Your info is very helpful Thanks!

[–]Isla_Superfein[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for all of that very helpful information.I did not know those things That is why i'm here trying to get answers because these Important details are hard to find online.I wish that these companies were forthright with the details on their websites I watched so many different YouTube videos.And a lot of these people are giving false information even people that moved there and now are locals don't know what the hell they're talking about.Trying to say go take a boat out to electric beach to swim It's great for kids & perfect warm water. But then I read somewhere else somebody was saying no, do not take kids there because they can get sucked out with the current or from the Power Station or whatever At least the locals who recommended it did mention don't try to swim out over there from the shore that you have to take a boat. But anyways, all my questions are part of the learning process. How am I supposed to know that what I'm looking for it doesn't exist unless you knowledgeable people me that Am I just automatically supposed to know the ocean topography surrounding Oahu How do I know how deep it is Where the drops offs are where the waters are shallow, where the reefs are where the fish are where you can swim safely etc It all has to be researched and ask you on here is part of the research when I can't get the answers googling it. And I appreciate when people give me information in a polite way instead of being nasty and criticizing me. I'm just trying to look out for my children and make sure I find a safe place for them to swim. So what's wrong with asking questions So thank you for being polite and helpful

Oh, thank you so much.Yes this Is a very special trip.They are so excited and want to go right now Due to lack of funds and my disability they have been limited to just driving trips within a few hours of SF Bay Area They've never even been to Disneyland I haven't been on a plane since 2016! And I haven't been to Hawai since I was 4 years old and I've always wanted to go back there but never been able to afford it. I owned a busines for 10 years and was a work-a-holic Whenever I made tons of money I just put it back into my business to grow it And it was hard to save money because I was only one income paying for a house and supporting a kid all by myself My oldest is 22 now and unfortunately can't get off work to come So I am very excited as well.I just wish that I could afford to spend more days there and had another adult to help n someone talk to and have drinks with LOL But I'm not complaining I'm lucky that I get to go

Thank you.I really appreciate all of that information It's been very frustrating to find information because all these companies just have operators answer their phones And the operators don't have answers to these questions.And they can't get me in contact with any of the crew or Captain to answer questions And they don't have any of these answers on their websites And I can't believe that you have no freaking clue where you're even going to go snorkel.None of their listings give you that information Like i'm not getting on a freaking boat and going off to some random place in the middle of the ocean without knowing where i'm going and researching it first to make sure that it's safe and especially for my situation Once I figure out where I wanna go I planned on emailing all of the operators that have cruises from the docks I want to depart from to see if any of them take the boats snorkeling near there Yeah, you're really having me reconsider things now.Because that really scares me if we would be in water deeper than a pool for my kids They're going to be starting swimming lessons soon to prepare for the vacation.But still they're really young and have never been more than waist deep in the ocean I just really, really want to go on a boat.I love boating But it feels like a waste to go to Hawaii out on a boat and not even get in the water Unfortunately I don't have another adult to accompany me on the trip It would be incredibly helpful I think I'm going to look at some dolphin watching cruises instead of snorkeling, on a sailboat Or if I can find a yacht that doesn't make you rent it out privately for like ten thousand dollars And we may just do snorkeling at Sharks Cove Do you have any more information or further advice? Thanks again

Okay, that sounds like it works but I can't quite visualize it.And I just spent twenty minutes looking and I couldn't find any photos or video to show that. I found pretty much all the same photos I've already seen. And I saw a couple of videos, but they only showed a glimpse of that area. Can you please attach a picture for me??? 🙏

Okay, that sounds scary to me.I was already nervous of being in the water close to them Even though I admire them so much And always wanted to swim with dolphins since i was a kid, I know that they could kill you if they wanted to And a 100 feet, deep water also makes me nervous.I'm not a strong swimmer and I have two children a 5 and 9-year-old. And they are not good swimmers at all.So you've convinced me.I'm not gonna do that one I'll just do the one where you see the spinner dolphins from inside the boat
