How naughty of you! And what a delightful piece. I am glad the gracious human is still out there. I am 20 kilos over my ideal weight (as per those BMI sites - who gives a shit anyway!) and totally understand.

What a lovely lovely piece <3

Chuckled at this - But I am playing my own game. I start looking at even less likely possibilities. :)))

I am so mortified to go shopping. I would die of shame if something the attendant picked did not fit me.

Lovely piece, Alaknanda. Made me think how much the fashion industry messes with us. And for what ?

Fashion's a bitch, I guess, Sanket!😊

Lol I enjoyed reading this! To be fair, the fashion industry has always had a warped idea of average women. It's a global failure. However, I've noticed in India, the sizes are even more limited. Love how you have your own adventure going on while you're out shopping :)

I want you to know I went to Brands for Less the other night and left the store with my head held high only because of you! It’s like they want us to fit into a certain size only. Anything outside of that is criminal! Only this time I mocked their ignorance to a friend of mine without shame, all thanks to your piece ;)
