Perfection in a…

Skirt.

Really? I find the perfect, I MEAN PERFECT, A-Line skirt for my pear shape body on-line. (I’m not going to say where because I don’t want to give these people anything – and I’m lazy – probably why I can’t fit into their skirts.) I see it on a normal woman on a popular blog and I click the link. This leads to a PLETHORA of skirts and I’m giddy because this place has A-line skirts that hit right below the knee…it’s skirt heaven. The proportions look right and the materials have a great drape that are can transition from business to a casual Saturday afternoon.

Then I click to see what sizes these perfect skirts come in – Small through X-large. More giddiness abounds. Because right now, I’m extra large. There just happens to be more of me to love, thank you very much. But, I’ve accepted me as of right and I’m working on making me more compact to love but until then I’m going to dress for the right now.

Since it’s a new shopping site, I click on the sizing chart because I can tend to teeter into a large when some places use vanity sizing. No, this place uses the “bitch-slap-back-into-reality-of-how-fat-you-are-and-give-people-serious-eating-problem” sizing. Extra large for this dress maker is a 10-12. Yes, that’s right, a size 10 to 12. If you’re the average American woman and sporting the curves of a size 14, so sorry, they don’t want your business. That means I’m definitely out of the running because my size 16 (14 on a good day) ass is WAY too big and my wallet is not good enough for them to cut their clothes for anyone with waist bigger than 33″.

Yup, this company is telling over half of American women, “You’re too fat to wear our clothes”. Now, if this was a business that was housed out of a foreign country where most of their women are compact and petite, I’d be understanding. But, nope, this is a good ol’ USA company. And, yes, I do know that it’s the company’s prerogative to make clothes up to a certain size but to call a size 12 woman an extra large, that’s just insulting.

BAH! BAH ON YOU STUPID PERFECT SKIRT COMPANY!
