A sartorial follow-up to her hilarious memoir in stories, Fat Girl Walking, internet personality Brittany Gibbons once again deep dives into the world of the plus size woman, this time chronicling her love/hate (but mostly hate) relationship with what fashion.From Pinterest boards and Instagram posts to shop windows and ad campaigns, fashion is everywhere. We shop and dress for practical reasons like job interviews or to make a good impression at the board meeting. We shop and dress for more adventurous reasons—for dates, to woo a lover, to catch someone’s eye. Clothes are armor for women, and we wrap a lot of meaning in what we choose to wear. As plus-size spokesmodel and blogger Brittany Gibbons knows, what we choose to wear is especially important, and especially emotional, for curvy women. This isn’t only because curvy women feel underrepresented and underserved by the fashion world. For the curvy woman who struggles with feelings of self-worth and a lack of confidence the feeling of "why bother" can come crashing in. You can’t help but think "wouldn’t leggings and a slouchy sweater just be easier?" Especially when we, like every other woman on the planet, are facing greater, real-life obstacles like raising kids, attending college, keeping your marriage together, paying bills, and a myriad of other daily struggles.Everyone has those days where they hate their body, they hate their clothes, but self-confidence and strength can come from a great outfit. Brittany is determined to help women, curvy and otherwise, embrace fashion and all the bumps and lumps that come with it. An "overdue love letter" to her body, Brittany delves into the hilarity and the humility of her quest to find her own personal style—to break out of a rut of maternity underwear and men’s undershirts once and for all. From wardrobe malfunctions, to fashion advice, to mom bodies and the perfect pose, The Clothes Make the Girl (Look Fat)? is the empowered battle cry all women deserve.
This book is exactly the kind of book that every woman needs to read. The kind of book that makes you nod with familiarity and understanding. The kind of writing that makes you feel like someone else understands what you’re going through in the dressing room, pool, doctors office and school pick up line.Over the last few years I’ve been inspired by Brittany and the amazing women in her group to try new things and find myself. There has always been a few things I couldn’t get past. Wearing shorts in public, my legs are very very pale and very thick, and wearing a two piece swim suit. The honest words she wrote in this book has inspired me to make my 2018 the debut of Grace’s legs, a re-launch if you will. So tonight after finishing this book, which I read in a few hours because I couldn’t put it down, I ordered a two piece bathing suit.This book is hilarious, brutally honest and unashamed. I wish I could gift one to everyone I know. This book says so many things women need to hear and honestly me. Should read it so they can understand what the hell we are screaming about when we are sitting on the floor of our closets surrounded by clothes that “fit” crying into our wine bottle because nothing fits right.#WereNotSorry
