This year I was honored to be asked to be a bridesmaid in a close friend’s wedding. Of course I said yes. But I have been struggling with certain things dealing with the dress. The biggest being the fact that to have a matching dress as the other bridesmaids I am being up charged. The reason being the fact that I am of a larger size. I can't and won't ever be able to fit into a size small, even if I were to lose 20 pounds.
It is not fair for any woman that a few inches of fabric cause the dress to go up in size.

Companies do not understand that every day I wake up and tell myself that I am not fat, I am beautiful. But when a company up charges me for a few inches it sets me back years in my body confidence. In fact it makes me hate my body even more than I did that morning when I woke up. I know that I could never fit into standards that companies set for women, but even that small fact does not help me when I am shopping for any kind of clothing.

Yes, I can hear you saying, "but stores have plus size sections!” Do you know where those sections are and how large they are? They are usually in the back corner, or in some places right next to the maternity sections, sometimes you can't even tell the difference. Yes I also hear you saying "but there are stores wholly dedicated to plus size!" I say to you again, yes, but do you know how expensive those kind of store can be. They really aren't on the cheap side of things.

Also another thought, why are most plus size clothing form fitting, I have more thing that are flowy than thing that are form fitting. I may hate my body somedays, but there are other days that I want to rock my curves.
So I am calling out all companies with pulse, and ones completely dedicated to plus size to make their clothing cheaper and more form fitting!
