PLUS SIZE LADIES AND THE DIFFICULTIES THEY ENCOUNTER.

“You know what girls who have bums, abs, and lovely backs are? A total pain in the ass to be around”- anonymous 

“Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder” they say... not so true for plus size ladies. Plus-size ladies are judged immediately. Most people do not find them pretty or attractive at first glance, even the ones that are very endowed and curvy, get frustrated sometimes because of the too much attention they draw to themselves not only from the opposite sex but from same sex as well... mind you, this attention is not because they’re being appreciated but, because they’re very obvious, and trust me, obvious  in this case, is not normal... 

When it comes to relationships, slimmer ladies gets the most handsome guys while plus size ladies have to do with what’s left.

Another struggle of being a plus size lady is having to deal with people who treat you differently because you’re not under the ‘‘normal size’’ category. You find scenarios where your friends, or even family members do not want to be seen, or associated with you because of your weight or size.

Plus sized women represents 68% of shoppers yet, they find it really difficult to get what they want. Designers believe that by logic, bigger people don’t like wearing things like tank tops and dresses, they’d rather wear long-sleeved dusters with flowery prints on them. 

How about chilling on the beach or in the pool, with those sexy bikinis, this is a no-no for most plus-size women, because they’ll get body shamed, and laughed at. Most Plus size ladies reduced their self prestige and self worth all because of the society. 

We all are specially created by our God. Skinny has it own purpose and can achieve a lot also chubby ladies are marking landscape of achievement and accomplishments for themselves. 

It is noticed that these days most men drool over extra fleshy beautiful ladies ( reason is far fetch from their size but the knowledge they possess and most people fail to recognize because all they care about is the outward appearance).

Well... plus-size ladies are paving their way not only into the fashion industry but across all industries. As demands are being high on plus size wears, fashion designers are making use of that opportunity and at the same time enlightening the community of their presence and the strong wave they carry.

“PLUS” means “EXTRA” appreciate the extras you see everyday as they appreciate YOUR body size and achievements.
