How not to wear pattern
I’m not going to make a secret of it – I’m fat. Plus sized, significant, curvy, voluptuous or however you want to play the semantics game, at the end of the day I’m still fat. One of the topics I plan to cover in my blog is fat fashion, and in this post in particular I want to address pattern in plus sized fashion. It’s horrific the way pattern is used to drape larger bodies, and you can see the mainstream media poking fun at fat bodies in muu muus all the time.

My case in point – one Homer Simpson.
It’s not all negative, but by and large (look at my pun!) it’s a scary world of pattern if you have to brooch the big bad world of plus size ranges and labels to dress yourself. Normally, if you’re like me, you can simply bypass the quandry that pattern presents by heading straight to the black garments. Almost all of my wardrobe consists of black clothing, with a few brightly coloured cardigans or tshirts along with some fun shoes. However, Too Fat for Fashion have claimed that the pattern is back, thanks to Missoni. Which means that as the trend filters into labels and stores that normal people shop at, those patterns will be translated into horrible shapeless muu muus. And I’m afraid.
