Fat Fashion

This is your semi-regular thread in which fat women can share pix, make recommendations for clothes they love, ask questions of other fat women about where to locate certain plus-size items, share info about sales, talk about what jeans cut at what retailer best fits their body shapes, discuss how to accessorize neutral colored suits, share stories of going bare-armed for the first time, brag about a cool fashion moment, whatever.

So, I love wearing t-shirts, and one of my favorite places to get tees is Torrid, because their t-shirts are good quality (in my experience) and they tend to have a pretty decent selection of tees I'd want to wear (alongside lots of tees that I wouldn't wear). The only thing is that $30 is more than I want to pay for a t-shirt, but, fortunately, Torrid has sales pretty regularly, so I was able to grab this one last week for 30% off.

There's not a lot of choice in cool plus size tees cut for women. I can find plenty of men's tees in my size, but they don't fit me right at all. So when I find a good tee in my size that is specifically cut to accommodate boobs, I hang onto it like it's the last nugget of gold in Ronpaultown.

Anyway! As always, all subjects related to fat fashion are on topic, but if you want a topic for discussion: Where are some of your favorite places to snag plus size women's tees?

Have at it in comments! Please remember to make fat women of all sizes, especially women who find themselves regularly sizing out of standard plus-size lines, welcome in this conversation, and pass no judgment on fat women who want to and/or feel obliged, for any reason, to conform to beauty standards. And please make sure if you're soliciting advice, you make it clear you're seeking suggestions—and please be considerate not to offer unsolicited advice. Sometimes people just need to complain and want solidarity, not solutions.
