Why do they hide chunky chicks in bags? (Rant.)

[naughty_girl_89]

Down here it's almost the other way around - I'm short and skinny but unless I want to pay a fortune at designer shops or go to little asion shops I can't get anything. I was at Kmart the other day and absolutely everything there that I liked was size 14 - 18... ><

To tell if you're big boned, wrap the thumb and middle finger of one hand around the wrist of the other. If your finger and thumb overlap, you have small bones, if they meet, you have average bones, and if you have at least 3/4 of an inch to meet them, you have large bones.
My fingers have at least an 1 1/4 inch to meet.

Heh. Well I guess I'm big boned x.x

I'm apparently small boned,which is weird because I'm not.

I'm barely average/small. I'm short...

Well, if this doesn't work I don't know what will.. Have you ever tried stores that have low price clothes? My mom, who's big-boned too, goes to Wal-Mart, and they always have the right size. Pants are always a bit of a problem though.

I know what you mean! I have to get the smallest size in jeans (xxs) and xs in tops. Although i buy most of them from supre' and i have overlt long legs and they make them in model size at supre (long but skinny) so they are ok if i buy them from there.

I'm quite small boned, but I don't know what to say about what kind of clothes you should wear.

That's interesting.. I must be very small boned, cause my thumb covers my whole middle finger nail.
I have a hard time finding jeans.. not cause of being skinny or being overweight.. but because of my height. And that's weird.. because I'm only 5'7". Average jeans are too short, and Talls are too long.
Plus, I have a long, thin torso and big chest....so when the shirt covers my ****s, it's too big for my waist.. and when it fits in the waist i'm pretty much all out there for everyone to see.

I am averaged bone.. hmm. =D


I have kinda the same problem.. I have HUGE hips, and a small waist... And I mean my hips belong to gigantor or something.. haha... I wear a size 11/12 btw.
What I find best is wearing DARK washed jeans, with a little/or no fade in the front of my legs(the butt stuff is nasty, try to not buy that.. lol). I get them lean&long fitted. The lean fits to your small waist and the long should go a little past your ankle. I like Gap jeans... although they skip odd numbers so I can never get an 11, hah.
For a shirt... I don't know. lol I own mostly black and white shirts... =o

Seriously stay away from light coloured jeans because they make your legs look larger than they really are... mmmk. =o

I'm small boned aparently, but I have bigger hips than I would like. I look for pants that have a flare at the bottom, it makes me even out. I actually stay away from dark jeans and go towards the lighter color.
