What did “big” girls do as far as clothing in the “vintage” era? I don’t fit into any of the categories you listed above. I’m 5’5″ and 254lbs. Even going to the stores in this day and age it’s hard to find good fitting clothes. Even my bust size is difficult to find a good fitting bra (I’m a 42C, but when it comes to getting them hooked, it’s a tight fit going around my middle.) The cup size is fine though. Any suggestions?

Hi :) Great article! I guess I would fall into the short, “full” figured category, as I have a 36 bust, 28 waist, and 38 hips and am 5’3″ (modern size small, vintage medium). I adore clothing from the 50s and early 60s, particularly full skirted dresses. I wear this silhouette often and find it to be flattering, but is it not really a good shape for my body type?

Miss Vanilla, you have a POINT. Wow, what a BOD! Can you please buy up every single ’50s dress that’s a size 24 inch waist? I have a great idea for you. Do you know Vintage Vandalizm? You seem to share similar body types ;-)
