The before pictures consist of a thin person wearing plus sized clothing from thrift shops. The after pictures consist of the same person wearing the same clothing refashioned and cut down to their size.] queenmerbabe: benegesseritangel: eee-in: benegesseritangel: rrrramsey: tedkordisanasshole: I found this great blog today and had to share it :D Refashionista is an amazing seamstress who refashions awful thrift-store finds into new clothes and some of these results are so amazing?? Check her out! :D she is a goddess So she’s taking plus sized clothing and making it into hipster wear for people who aren’t fat? Ok. looks ten times better on her anyways that is besides the point. She’s taking resources from plus sized people who likely need it more than she does. If she was really any good at her refashioning, she could use clothing that was her size(or close to it) and make her hipster monstrosities that way. She’s not just taking plus sized clothing. She’s taking plus sized clothing for people who don’t have even have the option to buy into the monopolized world of plus size shops. I have friends who get 90% of their clothes from thrift stores. I get this is just one person, but fuck, you don’t need to be getting thrifted clothes that are more than twice your fucking size to repurpose them.



YOU ESPECIALLY DON’T NEED TO MAKE HUMILIATING CARICATURE-LIKE STANCES IN EVERY BEFORE PICTURE THAT MOCKS THE STANCE/POSTURING/AND SIMPLY THE SPACE FAT PEOPLE EXIST IN. like how much do you have to hate fat people to do this. I dunno i thought she did a great job it’s not about whether she did a good job or not, she used plus sized clothes from a thrift shop to do this. It’s really hard to find plus sized clothes in the first place, and it’s even harder if you’re not wealthy. She’s taking away limited resources from people who actually need them. Plus in the before pictures she decided it would be cool to mock fat people by making weird caricature like stances as queenmerbabe said. #tumblr hates creativity #tumblr hates people repurposing things nobody was using anyway #tumblr hates resisting the urge to shame people glad to hear poor fat people count as “nobody” in your mind. and tumblr is not a monolith. Really?! Like A+ for creativity lady, but why didn’t you just go to a fabric store to get the supplies to make your clothes? It is really hard to find affordable plus size clothing. You’re what, a size 4? Go shopping in one of the thousands of other stores tailor-made for women your size. thisisthinprivilege This is super irritating.

Ughhhhhh fuck this so hard. I am so proud of the PRETTY CLOTHES in my closet that have come from thrift stores because 90% of the time when I go, I don’t find anything all, or I have to do a bunch of repurposing on my own to be able to wear it. The thought of a thin person going and repurposing some of the few cute things we even have in thrift stores is disgusting. There are plenty of cute clothes in the straight size section. I know because despite all my best efforts to resist, I will often continue browsing into the straight size section hoping to find something really stretchy. The amount of times I’ve found myself lamenting a dress that didn’t come in size fat outnumber the number of cute clothes I’ve found about 10:1. Go repurpose those. Plus maybe can we stop talking about how talented she is? If she went to the fabric store and bought a plus size dress worth of fabric, no one would be gawking at how ~*amazing*~ her craftsmanship is. There’s not a lot going on with those dresses design-wise. They’re amazed that she was able to turn something as ugly and disgusting as *gasp* plus sized clothes into something that’s flattering for a thin person.

Finding cute plus size clothes is hard, doubly so if you’re poor (also remember that thing where there is a correlation between poverty and fatness??). Don’t take the few resources poor fat people have away from them. Fashion can do so much for your self-esteem and mental health. I can’t stress enough how totally fucked up this is. Fuck you and the thin privilege you rode in on.
