There is a high chance that if you’re reading this article that you are plus size and therefore have, you think, heard every fat person rule in the book. You know the ones – don’t wear horizontal stripes, don’t wear anything tight fitting, only wear dark colours as they are slimming etc etc etc. Obviously these are all absolutely ridiculous. A fat person can wear anything a thin person does and the only person’s opinion that matters is their own. I was having just this conversation with a work colleague the other week and she made a comment that actually shocked me a little – that not only will she not wear certain prints or bright colors, but that she was also of the opinion that if you’re plus size there are certain fabrics that you most certainly shouldn’t wear.
Unsurprisingly the first one she mentioned was real or faux leather which I admit I have heard before, but she followed it up with satin, velvet, anything sheer and anything covered in sequins! I told her that she had just mentioned five of the fabrics I most like to wear myself which in turn shocked her and the conversation got more in depth from there, but it inspired me to share with you some beautiful pieces of clothing in these fabrics that are available right now in sizes to fit a gorgeous chubby bod.
