Up until my late 30’s, I was never heavy. Then it hit, and as I’ve got (even) older, my metabolism has gotten down to a crawl. Trust me, it isnt’ always so easy to lose weight, so thin women, don’t be so judgmental.
Which store in BP carries larger sizes? I’d be very interested in a store where I could find simcha clothes (not MOB, but rather, outfits I can wear to other’s simchas). Yes, Dress Barn Women sometimes has tznius skirts, but for simcha-quality, fahgetaboutit. Most of the frum boutiques only carry sizes from 0-14, and their styles are for women up to about 25. They need to realize that some of us are bubbys, not teenagers. On the otherhand, the large sizes, even in the better department stores, are often quite ugly, like they still haven’t moved away from the mau mau look. For work, I often buy knit skirts online from Lands End. The length is fine, they last forever.
