I am off to Kingston to confront the clothing size situation. I need a purple dress for the next meeting of the Red Hat Society and refuse to make one! I need a hat too - another problem as I have a large head size! I hate this!

Good luck Ruth!!! I understand completely. Shopping should be fun, but when everything fits poorly it is just a drag.

Hmmm... if I hadn't already met you, I would have suspected that you had a large head. But it didn't LOOK large.

Well, my Mother always said I had a big head - and she would have known! 
There is not one purple dress in all of Eastern Ontario so I ended up at Fabric Land. Dammit! Now I must clean up my sewingroom so I can find stuff to sew!

I think that that I wold have found white and washed something purple with it in very hot water hoping for the colors to bleed. Seems a lot easier to me. But then again I will always try to take the easy way each and everytime.

Is the red hat society anything like the .."When I grow old I shall wear purple.."
When I was in college we had this red hat and if you were in a "red hat mood" you wore it and let me say it was a watch out here she comes kinda night!!!

Okay, so I went over to the website that was posted before, and happen to notice that all the models are skinny. This is so frustrating. I can remember seeing a commercial recruiting plus sized models - size 10 through 14 was what they wanted. SIZE TEN!!! Grrrr. this makes me really cranky.
no wonder so many people have freakin eating disorders.
i want to see fat women in fat womens' clothes. i want to know what I will look like in it, not what some skinny person looks like in it. I get lane bryant and a couple of other catalogs as well, and this is always the problem. The only website i've seen for real looking people is torrid.com and usually their clothes are directed more at teens and goths.
GRR! 
okay, i feel a little better now.

Yeah, I agree about the skinny model thing it is a real pisser, but at least they have decent looking clothes in bigger sizes.
I went and had to purchase two outfits today.... Okay, I realize that I am growing up(age wise not necessarily maturity) and that I should dress age appropriate (what ever the heck that is) but trying to find dress clothes that I would wear to a luncheon and graduation was a difficult task. All of the clothes I looked at I would not be caught dead in. (pardon the honesty) I am 32 years old not 80 and I want to dress in modern clothes not something that my mother would wear (OMG)... I ended up buying a skirt and pants in the womens department size 10 and size 12 and then going to the junior department for tops. I just could do the old lady thing (please do not be offended) I can't shop at the Limited or the Gap right now because I am overweight... but I don't want to look like an old fart either. It is a real pain in the pattoot.
Okay that was a rant, I guess if I don't want to dress like my mother I need to do something about my widening backside. I propose that is my main problem. But still, honestly I am not that big a 10 and a 12 and they were both pretty loose... I should not have to look like an old hag.
Alright I am done back to ironing.
