I think I’ve said it before, but I want an all plus-size season of Project Runway.
No forewarning in the casting call, just a dozen of the best aspiring designers chosen and when they meet the models, they happen to be size 12 and above.
Of course they’ll cry at first, but Tim Gunn will tell them to get over it and maybe we’ll have some amazing original designs for people the industry usually ignores.
With Christian Siriano as the first guest judge giving everyone single designer who complains the what for
Please let this happen, I only have two dollars, but they are yours if I can have this

if they do this, then they must increase the budget for each designer because larger sized models means more fabric needed means the designers need larger budgets. that’s why the show will never go for it.
Yeah… no.
1. This is a sponsored television program where designers routinely buy/waste more fabric than they’ll ever need on challenges and it’s all on the show’s dime. And it’s all for the art and show of it. They’ll never even be worn again. Cost is a ridiculous reason to reject creating plus size season… money is irrelevant here.
2. Also, not every type and print is fabric costs the same. Some are cheaper than others. If designers can deal with restrictive budgets on the regular PR challenges in order to create something unique and beautiful there’s absolutely no reason why they couldn’t take the same budget and make adjustments to do the same thing for plus size women.
3. At the industry level, the idea that plus size clothes cost SO MUCH MORE than straight sizes has been debunked time and again. It simply doesn’t… especially at the quantities at which they are purchasing fabric for mass production.
4. Costs can also be brought down by cutting patterns out of fabrics in a conscientious way to reduce waste (which designers on PR already do when working with expensive fabrics or limited budgets).
5. The costs of men’s clothes do not vary as drastically as women’s do regardless of their size. If the fabric cost excuse were genuine, you would expect the same exorbitant price hike reflected there. Big and tall clothes for men are generally within a reasonable range of the lower sizes.
6. Plus size women’s clothes cost more and designers refuse to create plus size clothes not because of cost or any other reasonable difficulties, but because it’s a punitive measure against fat women and because they thus far been able to get away with it.
As someone who regularly buys both big & tall men’s clothes and plus-size women’s clothes, dude, let’s not even go into the whole ‘big and tall men’s clothes are usually within a reasonable range.’
They’re not. They’re just not. Jeans for my spouse (who is 6′8″) have an inseam literally 2-4 inches longer than the ‘average’ men’s jeans, but cost twice as much. You cannot convince me that it costs twice as much to add 2-4 inches to the bottom of a pair of jeans. It just doesn’t. It doesn’t cost twice as much to make a t-shirt in 4XLT as it does in XL. It just fucking doesn’t. And yet, this is the cost difference at the retail level.
Big & tall men’s clothing suffers from just as much of the ‘captive audience’ problem that plus-sized women’s clothing does, and pretending that it doesn’t have that problem doesn’t serve the interests of people wearing plus-sized women’s clothing. The problem is capitalism as well as sizeism and sexism; you cannot extract one problem from the other and pretend that this is the only issue.
Shoutout to all the girls who can’t afford the life styles and everything else they see on tumblr and Instagram. You don’t need anything materialistic to be worthy and you don’t need expensive make up and clothes to be seen as beautiful. You are beautiful and I love you.
Has anyone in the corset community had any experience with Retrofolie corsets? Because I’m drooling over them right now.
From what we have seen, they’re beautifully made with generous proportions for their ready-made styles. We haven’t personally tried them but the general consensus from those who have is that they’re lovely comfortable pieces. This is just what we have heard, though.
