So, at that SF con that I mentioned in January, Arisia, here in Cambridge, MA, has a Heinlein Society Blood Drive every year. To encourage people to sign up, they have a coterie of volunteers called the Naughty Nurses; who go completely over the top with the naughty part.

(a tame pic here).

many of the women who do it are 'normal' or size 14-18 inbetweenies; last night, the woman who organizes it suddenly came up to me and asked me if I'd like to be a naughty nurse. I am a size 28 death fat, so I'm not the Normal Naughty Nurse, shall we say.

Problem is, I've already spent my costume money for Arisia on a purple and black corset and a Friday I'm In Love t-shirt from Threadless. Soooo...I need suggestions from the studio audience on how I could do this (I told her if I could come up with a costume by the new year, I'd do it.

I am thinking of scouring Goodwill for scrubs, then turning them into hot pant chaps by the simple expedient of slicing open the outside seams, and putting rivets down the sides to then lace with shoelaces, corset-like. Anyone ever done this?

I would like to maybe find a red or white corset but money is really tight and so I suspect that's not going to happen (but if anyone is going to sell one in the next while that would fit a 28 with DDD-cups, do think of me).

I've also been looking for white pumps online (preferably a wedge) to go with the shoes. I wear a 10WW or 11W depending. But you know, white shoes after labour day and all...I know they're out there but I'm looking in the wrong places.

I would *really* like to do this and go out there being sexy as hell even at my size, but this is the sort of costume that thin girls can get off the rack for cheap and larger people need to spend more time on, and I've only got 3 weeks. If anyone has *any* ideas on what a death fat can do to totally rock the naughty nurse look on a shoestring budget, I really need an assist!

Dress, Cardigan- Evans
Pin- Primark
Tights- Ebay and Simply Be (wearing 2 prs)
Shoes- Clarks

Haven't posted for a while, but thought I'd post my outfit of the Christmas Day- felt lovely in my new red Evans silk dress. My sister and I were mucking around with the camera outside taking photos of each other and she snapped a few quite flattering ones of me. I'm a size 26-30uk, deathfat, and 5"8 tall.

Hey everyone, I'm sydney. I went to a Christmas Eve party, and decided to dress up a little more than I usually would.

( see the outfit! )

Hello, and happy holidays! I received the above coat in Seal (grey) in 1X however it is too small and the website is sold out of any other size. I can't find it on ebay either. I am IN LOVE with this coat and am hoping someone else here bought/received the wrong size and is willing to swap or would be willing to give theirs up. I would pay up to $80 for it, and need a 2X. Thanks so much!

Hello everyone! I would like to know if there is an existing community/group for Toronto fats that do clothing swaps? Or group shopping trips?

I love the idea of doing one but have never encountered one in the GTA…

If there is no existing group, would anyone be interested in participating in one? I would want to gauge interest before trying to organize something.

Please comment below or feel free to email me with questions or comments. Thanks!

Mods – I checked the memories but did not find anything addressing this. I hope this post is ok!

If you are in or coming through the PDX area, may I highly, highly recommend savvyplus.com? I found it while on vacation just because I was wandering Hawthorne, and walked out with some lovely clothes at rock-bottom prices. I mean, a cosplay ballgown for $30? A beautiful handmade hapi coat that still had the original tags for $152 that I got for $45? $8 Venezia jeans, a velvet cardigan for less than $20? It'll *so* be worth paying for the extra suitcase on the plane. :)
They do buy clothes if it's good quality stuff - there was no WalMart anything in there. I think Lane Bryant would be the lowest common demoninator. Give the owner a call if you want to talk about shipping your clothes for sale. She's very friendly!
