The Maxi Dress

It's been forever since I updated this... but not like anybody reads this anyway.

My new obsession is the maxi dress. Why? Because it practically covers your entire body, so you don't really have to worry about your butt looking big or your calves looking fat. It's an awesome piece of clothing for fat people.

However, I've been browsing online for maxi dresses, and the bulk of them have no sleeves. I don't see the point in hiding my fat butt, thighs and legs, if my flabby arms are going to be boldly brandished in public. See? They never make good clothes for fat people. I might as well wear a nun's clothing.

They do have some maxi dresses with LONG sleeves... but I don't want to look like an old queen.

The few maxi dresses WITH sleeves that I found, which I actually like:

This one wasn't actually for sale. This was a tutorial on how to sew this dress. Well, I have no materials, no sewing machine, and no domestic skills whatsoever ): BUT THIS DRESS IS SO PRETTY and I want it.



The model is really skinny... so I doubt it'd look good on me. It is "free size", which is supposed to mean that the majority of people will be able to wear it. But I highly doubt it'd fit me.



I like this, but I heard that horizontal stripes make you look wider. Of course there isn't a single piece of clothing that could make this model look fat, except a fat suit. But for me?

Still, I love the concept of maxi dresses. They're loose and comfortable and extend to your ankles!

If I was skinny, I would wear this type of thing every day:




But I'm not. So it's sleeves for me! Provided I can actually find one of these dresses in Singapore, with the huge collections of wonderfully fashionable dresses that all come in minus-sizes -.-
