Gah! These are obviously not the final photos, and I still need to do a proper blog post about it all, but here’s me, in the dress I designed!

It’s bright pink and has ice creams all over it. It’ll be available to buy from Simply Be (sizes UK14 - UK32) from the end of May.

Let me know if you’re thinking of buying one! ICE CREAM ARMY!

TW: Musings on living in a fat body, fatphobia, verbal abuse

So, I found a box of old clothes last week to sell at a jumble sale. I kept these and a few more behind because I thought I’d try them. I have this real cognitive dissonance about the outfit and my body, in this outfit. The skirt is a few sizes too small. It leaves nothing to the imagination. And that’s okay! When I look at myself in the mirror, I like what I see - and I know if I saw someone else wearing this outfit and something this fitting, I’d think it was awesome.

But I still can’t seem to bring myself to wear it out in the real world. I’m still in the grip of this fear for what other people would say/do to me if I left the house in this. I know that I’m just not strong enough to take the verbal and physical abuse.

I don’t really have anything profound to say really. I’m just annoyed at myself. I wish I could be radically, unapologetically fat. I wish I could just brush off insults and not care what people shout at me in the street. I’m sad that my depression and anxiety means I compromise how I really want to look for the sake of an easier life.

Because this is a really nice outfit. Damn it.
