I am a Fat, Phat, Phat Fat kind of Girl!!!!

As you have guessed by my title I am fat. and today I have had it up to here with it. If any of you are overweight you know how hard it can be to clothes shop. I needed a dress for church that was not only modest and stylish but made me comfortable and happy to wear it.

After going to a handful of fat women's store (that's what I call them) aka. lane bryant, torrid, etc. I went home empty handed. not only did they have a small selection of dresses (or even a nice skirt) but they were all immodest, my meaning of modest is a dress that has sleeves, does not have a plunging neckline and is at least down to my knees if not longer. All the dress I found were sleeveless, strappy, holter toppish and were way to short. come on girls if you are overweight why would you want to show all that skin.
So i went home a bit grumpy thinking ok I guess my only option is to sew a dress myself. Pattern and material shopping is added to my to do list now.

This little quote fits my mood today perfectly


Give me chocolate and a nice dress PLEASSSSE!


Happy Shopping!!

Ok I am back from my Joann's shopping trip. I was able to get 5 simplicity patterns for $5.00. Great deal considering these are $15.00-$18.00 each normally.

I decided to go with Simplicity Pattern # 2917


Here is the material I will be using. My husband helped me pick this out. 
What a great hubby. Love him.
