Chubby's Debut

This is the official first blog for Chubby Brit Chic!
I'm excited about blogging, even though I have no idea who will read this - or if anyone even will! I decided to start this blog because I am a "fat" girl living in the UK, and I hate the fact that some retailers only stock sizes 6-16 and that those who do stock "plus" sizes are not thinking about their customers when they design, cut and market the clothes to real women like us.
I think that we could do a lot more in the UK to market to women who, for whatever reason, are larger than a size 16 but still want to look amazing and be able to wear the trends that we all see in the magazines. It's everywhere: "Fat is not Fabulous". But I would like to challenge this ideal. I want to ask why so many "fat" girls are deemed to be not beautiful, not sexy and not healthy. I myself was once a size 10. And my god was I miserable! I also have more  energy and self-confidence now that I am a size 16 - 18, which is something that you don't hear all that often nowadays.
So for all my fellow plus-size sisters out there, I am doing this blog. It is not going to be a blog where I pour out all of my hate and insecurities, rather it is going to be a place where I (and all of you hopefully) will be able to talk about what we REALLY want from the fashion industry and how we can possibly achieve it. I will also be posting product reviews, polyvore sets with ideas for outfits for different body shapes to wear and this blog will be full of news from the plus-size fashion world. You can also e-mail me directly to request a polyvore set if you have a specific event coming up.

So get involved and tell me what you're thinking, feeling, eating & wearing!


Much Love xx CC xx
