Women are beautiful in all shapes and sizes, but as a woman who is blessed with assets, I know way too many inconveniences all curvy women go through on a day-to-day basis.
Here are some of the things we have to endure:
1. Online shopping
Everyone with unusual body measurements would know that online shopping is the trickiest thing ever. What size am I? One day I’m a 6, one day I’m an 8? But it’s not going to matter unless I find an S sized top that actually fits my chest!
2. Jeans that fit but don’t actually fit
God bless jeans or pants that actually fit! Because I’ve lost count of all the times my jeans fit my hips but not my waist. If they fit my waist nicely however, they are too tight at the bottom area. Come on guys it’s 2017; make clothes that fit!
3. Looking suggestive when you’re not
When you have big boobies and a bubble butt, wearing a sundress or even T-shirt and jeans can make you look like you’re trying to be sexy. We’re not showing off, they’re just there! Please proceed to leave them alone (and us). Some girls wish to have a rounder butt and get a bbl to achieve it.
4. Gotta cover up!
Wearing leggings? Chances are your butt is going to jiggle. Wearing a tank top? Chances are you’re going to “show more than you should” too. It’s a habit to always bring an extra jacket or cardigan just to appear more appropriate.
5. Longing to wear the cutest things
Lace bralets, crop tops, mini skirts, you name it. While we may have accepted reality – that some clothes are meant for girls with smaller assets – doesn’t mean we don’t have the desire to wear them too!
6. Adjust, adjust, adjust!
A girls night out means you’ll be spending time adjusting your tube top that keeps falling, your tight jeans that keeps giving you a wedgie, and your uncomfortable body con dress that keeps getting stuck between your roll of belly fats. Gah!
7. Running makes you self-conscious
Gym would be fun if it didn’t hurt so much to run and running would be fun if it won’t be made awkward by unwanted stares. Our last resort? A good sports bra that will cost us more money just like most things we already have due to our size.
8. We look bigger than we actually are
It took me ages to realise this but when you have an ample bosom or big butt, it’s easier for you to appear bigger when you actually aren’t. It’s totally cool though, because we love how we look!
9. Stretchy material is god sent
When all fails, we have stretchy clothing to thank. They allow us to breathe and not rely on clothes that have zippers on them. Plus, they just make life easier for us when it comes to shopping and comfort. There is hope after all.
