Full figured pinups?

[Bunny Levinson]

I'm a big gal and a pinup fan. There's alot of slim girls and a lot of "curvy" girls in the scene. But I sure wish there were more plus sized/full figured girls doing it, because I love seeing pinups with my build. Plus, full figured gals look great in corsets,etc.

 

 Now, I've found a few BBW's on this very site, but are there more plus sized pinups out there? Is this a bigger deal than I know about?

I agree with u hun..Me and my oldest daughter are both full figured and both love the plus sized pin-up look.

we too would love to see more plus size pin-up models..

Sure the thinner girls are absolutely gorgeous!! But i think us plus sized girls should get the chance to show off there curvy figures too =)

 

Bring on the plus size pin-up models =)

It´s also hard to find the right clothes in the Big size's if I speak for my wife.

She would love to wear Thes clothes but here size isn't there, it stops at the biggest at xxxl but that's not wide enough mostley in the hip size. :-(

ya, i can never understand why top pinup clothing companies in the U.S. and Europe don't find a large demand for TRUE plus-sizes.  everything is "junior plus" which is generally about 3-4 sizes smaller than a real plus-size.  i don't know why the companies are so afraid to make those real sizes.  i've heard all sorts of excuses from several of the companies about why they don't make them in the true sizes.  and frankly i think it's b.s.  i've also had a couple of companies say they won't make the clothes in true plus sizes because we larger girls don't look good in the styles!  that's a shame!!!  more than likely you're already overcharging me.  but if i'm willing to pay you the money and you have pride in your work, what's it to you if YOU don't think i look good in the clothing?!  last i checked, money is money.

Clothing companies will do what any other business does and follow the money.  If it were cost-productive for them to make their designs in a certain size, they would.   Part of following a successful business model is the branding that the company creates.  That branding is their bread and butter-- to go outside of what the public expects from that branding can mean a severe blow to how the public sees it. 

 

Making clothes in a size that is outside of the norm costs the company more than making clothes within the standard sizes. It isn't that they are over charging you, it is that it cost them more to make the clothes, so they charge  more.

 

The best, and most cost productive way, to get a wardrobe that you like is to remember two things; less is more, and fit is everything.  I used to have tons of clothes-- I love clothes.  But honestly, I kept going back to the basics that I love.  Those things that fit well and are timeless-- so I dumped everything when I moved.  Now the things I have are all very wearable because they fit and because they are made well.  Disposable clothing manufacturers help make us think we need lots and lots of clothes, and an ever-changing wardrobe.  H&M and Forever 21, along with Target and Walmart fill our closets with junk that, at least for me, is less than satisfying to wear.  I realized it was far better to have a few things that made me feel wonderful than a bunch of stuff that was simply new. 

 

Once you get rid of the idea that you need lots of clothes, you can focus on them as an investment.  That makes having them tailored or made for you seem far less of a luxury.  I know I feel better about myself when I have clothes that fit made of fabric that feels sensuous to my skin. 

 

So for those women who don't find what you want off the rack, think of exactly what you do want, and then find a way to have it made for you.  Find a pattern and approach one of the dressmakers on Etsy.  Or even approach one of the companies in China or India who are making nice clothes to sell on Ebay.  Heck, have two of them made and sell one and see if you can turn your need for a certain size into a business.  My thinking is, if you need it, others do too, and where this is a need, there is a business to open.

Well if one of you knows where to find the bigger size's give us a shout. :-)

But large patrons are welcome to ofcourse.

And we keep following this subject!

I think that the pinup world is very accomidating to plus sized models. I personally know alot of bigger girls who model and aren't treated any different than the smaller girls. But maybe thats just my experience...

 

If you want a super sexy full figure woman, look up La Cholita, she is a model and burlesque performer

For everyone on here looking for good quality, attractive clothing that fits look up Atomic Ave. Clothing Co. here on PL. I am very close friends with the woman who makes the clothes and I have also modeled for her. Not only is she an amazingly talented designer and seamstress but she uses great quality materials and handmakes all of her pieces. She makes corsets, cinchers, bras, underwear, halloween costumes, burlesque costumes, dresses, skirts, tops...she will custom make anything or you can choose from one of her finished designs. Another very important thing for bigger women is that she knows how to flatter the body; she isnt going to try to squeeze you into something that you wont be satisfied with. The Atomic Ave. Clothing Co. website should be up pretty soon, but for now the best place to find her will probably be on here or on Facebook or Myspace. Check her out!
