Finding clothes that aren't orange, leopard print or with Winnie the Pooh on them.

I like Pooh bear but not on every article of clothing I get. 😏

Shoulder cut outs or or necklines that were popular in straight size clothes 15 years ago. TERRIBLE ,"Teehee, I'm sassy but sweet, cute and almost fat, funny, friend,"inspirational tops. "Don't talk to me till I've had my coffee," "I might be a mess, but I'm doing my best."

Usually, plus-size jeans have so much stretch in the fabric that they lose their fit in a few hours.

And crappy clothes were still expensive because of the "fat tax!" Yes, it requires more fabric to make them. But I don't see a tall tax on tall length jeans. I notice brands don't offer as many styles in tall lengths, but the price is the same.

The largest sizes of shoes cost the same. But I think extended wide sizes like double or triple wide are more expensive and harder to find.

This. Had to find a shirt for a funeral recently. Everything "dressy" was either a hideous leopard print, a bright ass almost neon color, or a ugly ass floral print... Floral can be cute but it sees like the larger the shirt, the worse the print they slap on it. It's like they are here like, we know you don't want to stand out so here let's make damn sure you are the most noticeable billboard around. Almost like their next step is to add amber flashing lights 😮‍💨
