This blog created such a feeling of liberation, liken it to the bra burning in the 70′s when women were shouting from the rooftops, I am a woman and proud of that fact, so there!!! Media and realities shows of this decade has made us go back into our closets to cry about our size, so this voice reminds us to be proud of ourselves, women and men, liberation is for us to embrace and enforce, we are all allowed to be the Perfect Size Me, so there!!! Thank you, Dr. Deah.

Vesta, what kind of selection exist in patterns for plus sizes? Is their the same discrimination?

I love that–perfect size me! There are times when I shop and I feel great. Others when I feel less great. I remember being freed from the “how” of how I was supposed to dress and look as a fat woman after reading a magazine featuring a fashion shoot with Camyrn Mannheim. I marched into the store and thought I looked great in everything. I need to do that again!

Thank you Teresa! As I said, it’s time for a new definition of vanity sizing…the size of me! And each me size is perfect and different!

Susan, I try not to use my blog as inadvertent advertising, but I did include the link to the store and the dress in the blog. Click on Elie Tahari and it will lead you to…Bloomingdales! What can I say? You can’t take all of the New Yawk out of the gal! RE: a photo..I’m sure there will be wedding photos galore! I’ll post one when I get them! Thanks so much for taking the time to read Tasty Morsels, as always your comments are always so enjoyable!

When my son got married 5 years ago, I looked and looked and looked for something suitable for me to wear to his wedding (as the mother of the groom, I thought I needed a dress that spoke to that “image”). Yeah, nothing in my size, nothing even close to my size, nothing even in the fancy pantsuits for mothers of the groom (not that a pantsuit set would have worked anyway, ever tried to find one that has 3X pants and 5X top?).
Good thing I can sew. I found a pattern I liked, the perfect material for the top, hunted around for the material for the pants, and I made my own pantsuit for my son’s wedding. I got a lot of compliments on it and questions about where I bought it (and lots of astonishment when told I made it myself). When I got married 3 months later, that’s what I wore for my wedding (saved me the trouble of having to hunt for a dress, which I knew I wasn’t going to find in my size).

Deah- I will ALWAYS love your stories and your special flair with the written word. I’m impressed with what you are doing and where you are going AND your conviction to make a difference and to take us with you…where do I get a ticket? Love you!

Why don’t you tell us where you were shopping, if you were able to find and buy a dress you loved, what size you are and what that size means, and show us a picture of you in the dress?
