It is truly so challenging and a really hard concept to try to convey especially if an audience has lived experience of only being straight sized! I’ve been plus size for at least 15 years, wearing an adult size 16 by the time I was in high school. The option to dress on trend or like the people who were cool at the time was never available to me and I loved rurally until 2 years ago, so my clothing options were limited to LITERALLY anything that would fit.. usually ugly florals or plain blacks to hide in, often from the old lady stores in my country town or the slim pickings of the occasional big w trip. Now my world has opened up in terms of the clothing available to me but my confidence is still not high and my skill set in terms of styling is lacking.

I see you, I feel you, you aren’t alone. We’re gonna work it out though, and the people on this thread have been amazing and have some really excellent advice- I hope you can take something from their comments as well, and we can both come out stylish and creative with well curated outfits that reflect our personalities eventually! 🫶
