rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

Probably the pettiest thing to whine about, but I hate it when plus-sized clothing sites still have models that are slender. I don't want to know what the clothes will look like on the skinny and beautiful model, when I know they'll look like a stretched sack on me ):

Anons who are or who have been overweight, how do you find clothes that look decent and don't emphasise massive bums or tums?

Inb4 lose weight. I'm honestly trying and have lost 11lbs to date, but it's a slow process and I'm still very obese.

go into the shop and try things on

it's the only way to be sure they'll fit

Honestly I stick with dresses that flare out and have a natural-waist cut, since it keeps the overhang hidden and doesn't emphasize my waist. I've gotten quite a few good dresses at Target (since they carry XXL sizes, which fit perfect for me).

Flowing tops with skirts can also help, along with wearing skirts that sit higher up on the waist and go a little above the knee. Black leggings can make the legs look slimmer. Avoid boots that cut off mid-calf, they'll make your legs look stocky.

And seriously, just avoid online shopping if you can. Especially when you get into plus-sizes, some things are just not fitted right for the bigger sizes they make (such as dresses just getting wider, but not longer).

If you want to hide a large belly, exaggerate your hourglass shape with a tight top, dark-colored flowing skirt, and a wide belt in a bright contrasting color.

A close-fitting top with a flowy skirt is really flattering. Just make sure that the skirt hits either at your knee, a couple of inches above, or mid-calf/ankle. Don't go shorter than an inch or two above your knee because you don't want the skirt to end at the wide part of your thighs and make them look bigger.

And black tights and leggings are great for making you look sleek.
