Buttercup's Frocks

Fat, mid-fifties, frockaholic. I believe, with the right clothes, that a fat woman can conquer the world. Or, at the very least, challenge a host of dumb, lazy, mean-spirited and fallacious stereotypes. The trouble is very few manufacturers want to make us those clothes. This is where I bitch about that, record my efforts to find ways around it; big up other inspiring, finely-turned-out fats, and generally ruminate on matters of a fatshion and body-image-related nature. (Though I might also post pictures of cats and/or jewellery – and maybe ceramics too because, being large, I contain multitudes).
