And also fabrics have become increasingly synthetic and unbreathable. Lands End where I loved getting mai dresses changed their fabrication a while ago to a fabric that does not breathe, it’s like wearing a tarp in the summer. So I’ve been wearing old purchases mostly and not buying new things. the is also an affordability issue. I am a size 28-30

Well. I miss Simply Be usa and IGIGI. Those brands did mostly classic designs. Just like in smaller sizes different people have different tastes but those aren’t exactly encouraged. I enjoy showing my waist and upper area and do not like in myself visible belly lines VBL. Some do I do not, it’s not how I feel attractive in my body. Several times I mentioned this and was thoroughly flogged. So I stopped contributing to community groups and this happened long before any change to algorythms. The Plus Size community has to include and make room for everyone or its simply not inclusive. I can’t afford high prices for clothing which shows me off as I would like so I just thew up my hands. I learned so much about my own personal fashion through this journey but it’s become increasingly difficult to find affordable clothing in my comfort zone. I applaud people right to choose fashion and look however they feel they should. I reserve the same for myself. And I left posting in communities because it was not a nice experience and I felt unsupported excluded from the movement. There is either room of all or it’s not a good community.
