Haven't posted for a while, but thought I'd post my outfit of the Christmas Day- felt lovely in my new red Evans silk dress. My sister and I were mucking around with the camera outside taking photos of each other and she snapped a few quite flattering ones of me. I'm a size 26-30uk, deathfat, and 5"8 tall.

Hi everyone! To celebrate the holidays I'm having a sale at my store janebonbon! http://www.etsy.com/shop/janebonbon?ga_search_query=janebonbon&ga_search_type=seller_usernames Just mention Fatshionista in the checkout and I'll refund you ! I hope everyone has an excellent new year!

Hey everyone, I'm sydney. I went to a Christmas Eve party, and decided to dress up a little more than I usually would.

( see the outfit! )

Hello, and happy holidays! I received the above coat in Seal (grey) in 1X however it is too small and the website is sold out of any other size. I can't find it on ebay either. I am IN LOVE with this coat and am hoping someone else here bought/received the wrong size and is willing to swap or would be willing to give theirs up. I would pay up to $80 for it, and need a 2X. Thanks so much!

Hello everyone! I would like to know if there is an existing community/group for Toronto fats that do clothing swaps? Or group shopping trips?

I love the idea of doing one but have never encountered one in the GTA…

If there is no existing group, would anyone be interested in participating in one? I would want to gauge interest before trying to organize something.

Please comment below or feel free to email me with questions or comments. Thanks!

Mods – I checked the memories but did not find anything addressing this. I hope this post is ok!

If you are in or coming through the PDX area, may I highly, highly recommend savvyplus.com? I found it while on vacation just because I was wandering Hawthorne, and walked out with some lovely clothes at rock-bottom prices. I mean, a cosplay ballgown for $30? A beautiful handmade hapi coat that still had the original tags for $152 that I got for $45? $8 Venezia jeans, a velvet cardigan for less than $20? It'll *so* be worth paying for the extra suitcase on the plane. :)
They do buy clothes if it's good quality stuff - there was no WalMart anything in there. I think Lane Bryant would be the lowest common demoninator. Give the owner a call if you want to talk about shipping your clothes for sale. She's very friendly!

 Hello Everyone! This is my first post here and my first Outfit of the day post as well. So recently  Iscored quite a bit of the Beth Ditto for Evans collection pieces for half off on clearance and to give the stain glass prom dress a try I wore it to a family birthday at my home. I'm a 24/26 and even though some people feel bright colors on a person my size don't look good I love love bold colors and bold prints especially in the winner! More outfits and such at my blog www.fatshopaholic.blogspot.com   

Hey Y'all!! Hope everyone is having a happy holiday season! I see SO many cute t-shirts here, and I've been building up my basics wardrobe fora while, and it seems like now my wardrobe could use some more pizzazz. Where do y'all get your t-shirts (other than thrift store scores) ? Torrid used to have a lot that i liked but they tend to be more band shirts and movie shirts rather than just cute graphic tees like they used to have. So what do y'all like? Where do you go for a fun, spunky, cute shirt? Do you have any other favorite ways to jazz up an outfit?

I'd love to hear your tips!

Hi Fatshionistas,

A friend of mine recently updated her facebook status "Sometimes I'm sitting next to people in a restaurant and I just want to point at what they're eating and say 'This is why you're fat.'".

I feel like this is a really teachable moment - but I'm stumped as to what exactly to say. So, fatshionistas, any suggestions on replying in a thoughtful, polite, but firm way? What are some general strategies in dealing with indirect fat-hate?

--edited to add---
I decided to go with the classic, and classy, "I'm sure you didn't mean this the way you sound" and she replied with a long explanation about how it is exactly how it sounds, and how she almost said that to someone at breakfast yesterday. When her husband chimed in with a comment about how "the fat girl who got defensive is the asshole" (me) I decided that I really just don't need people like that in my life.

Thanks to everyone for the advice.
