My petty ass when someone skinny buys something XXXL from a thrift store to ~transform~ it into a cute tailored cocktail dress: how about you leave the XXXL section alone so poor fat women out there can retain some sense of variety out of the 7 things that actually fit them in the god damn goodwill
Just to be clear I’m not talking about “I bought something a couple sizes larger than me and I’m taking it in”
I’m very specifically talking about THIS SORT OF THING
ugh the top and bottom ones make me especially furious because she removed the interesting part of the dress! those would both look adorable on me as is.
she could make an ugly black dress like that herself without chopping up a cool vintage dress in a rare larger size
I think people who do what’s shown in the pictures are trash and should be reminded of this at all times
I was super into wardrobe refashions for a while, because as a size 16 I am both #1 statistically average and #2 unable to shop in 85% of retail stores that sell women’s clothing. But I got so tired, on Pinterest, of every single wardrobe refashion being all about how to make a huge garment tiny. It’s like– every single one. If all you’re doing is using a garment for the fabric then that’s not a refashion, fuck you. Go buy some fucking fabric, you’re not creative. Mine are the kind of thing where I bought three pairs of jeans and combined them, or two dresses and combined them, because *fuck* your size S.But that’s actually difficult to do, so I haven’t completed many of them. If I could just “hack my husband’s shirt so it fits me!” I would, but my dude has a 38" chest and mine is 48".
