I cant hem and i cant afford to pay someone to do it yet. But i think it would be nice to walk into a store and be able to grab something off the rack and it fit perfectly.

Yeah, at 5'2'' everything is too long for me too... that why I get tall shoes

Really?? Ive seen catalogs with awsome hoodies and even camoflage wear. I will have to investigate....

thats what I do.

I agree!

I am about 5'10" and deal with the other end of the spectrum, is hard to find pants long enough at times. I buy mostly out of the catalogs so I can find long enough, but still don't fit right, too long or too short, is a pain too. And then they come out with those stupid short tops, I prefer a 30-inch or so top, sometimes can't find them in the stores, do most of my shopping in the catalogs. Last time I went to a store, I swear the damn designers must have been on acid, the designs and prints were the same as what we wore in the 60s, geeezz, did they want to do a remake of Woodstock too???? They were butt ugly clothing. So yeah, I buy from catalogs, at least I can find some nice stuff there.

You know jc penny has petite pants, and jeans, and they are cute.

One of my favorite pairs are arizona jeans, I was surprised, but they fit perfect. My butt looks great in them.

Also, angels jeans are a good petite fit, right where they should, and they also make my butt look great. Im 5'2

I know what you mean, my poor mom is 5'10, even if they fit when she buys them, they shrink, and turn into highwaters. lol

Jeans dont make my butt look great, my butt makes those jeans look great

We can smell summer here...a day at the beach...and now, we're going back down...we had the first cicada last night on dusk!!! whoo hoo bring on the need for naked!!!!

Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out!

And Marie, I agree--at least with pants being too long, you can shorten them. If they're too short, you're out of luck

Okay...

one last thing, unless this gets some replies

You ladies are being silly

A BBW is a woman who is BIG, hence big beautiful woman

And check it. I am lookin thru this thread and I am not seeing any woman who are BIG except for the initial poster.

Why are you all calling yourself BBWs just because you shop at Lane Bryant???? Just bc you have a D cup doesnt make you a BBW, just bc you have a stomach, doesnt make you a BBW

Check it...go on yahoo.com. Search BBW. You will see what a BBW is.

I understand, its just the point. Lets all sit in a thread and talk about whatever. But the POINT of this thread was to tell the op, who is a BBW why men like BBW's. And, this is just silly.

Because....I don't see any reason to watch all you ladies call yourself BIG, when you arent.

You are just ladies, you are human. You are people. You are alive and living.

Trust me....being BBW has nothing to do with a 14 or above.

WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMIN TO???????

this is for all you beautiful LADIES

forget the stereotypes

be who you are

Maybe i can look at all ends of the spectrum and design for all based on length. I can call it great heights. You know it has to be cheesy.

Ive never seen a BBW and the men who love them thread before.....

no these jeans make my butt look great. lol.. they accentuate.

My butt gives men heart attacks........

I is, and I love my body, and men who like it. Anyway.. its good to get togther with other women who know what its like to go from small, (like my usual weight, to a litle bigger cos, some women are retarded to a woman who isnt a tiny size and men too. I likes me some down to earth people.. le me alone! lol

anyone wearing a size 14 and over is concidered a BBW. And Im a size 14 pushing 16 depending on the fit and maker. Calling myself a BBW is in NOOOOOO way a negative thing. This thread is really about shopping....... and don´t get me started on shoes!!!!!

This is nice of you Billy. Society has labeled people, especially girls/women for decades according to size and looks and it is not something that is easy to overcome when you have been brow-beat with it your whole life. Thank you for your thoughts on this issue. Take care.

I don't believe most of us claimed to be BBWs. I think we just got a little But you make very good points.
