A slap in the face to fat girls

Beth Ditto may be a hip plus-size icon, but her new clothing line feels like an insulting throwback to a 1985 Kmart

    Dirty little secret of the fashion industry

    As revealed by shows like Project Runway and the Fashion Show, fashion designers don't know HOW to make clothes for regular people. Given such assignments, the designers complained that they were never taught this in fashion school. And apparently, it doesn't help if you are regular sized (I can't stand the term plus size to desicribe anyone over a 12, ridiculous.)

    I am petite and curvey. You would be surprise how difficult it is for me to find clothes as well. Designers don't know anything but designing for hangers. Period.
