Thank you for your voice. I was a well proportioned good looking young woman in 1961. Unfortunately I was also 13 and a size 16. It was a hellish exprience to try to be fashionable in a sea of teenagers who were no larger than a size 10. And we wont even talk about being gay and trying to dress out of the norms. I finally made it to a size 14 at 70 and still fight the sterotypes  from all sides. I always dressed differently from "the Girls" however" the Boys" have always loved my wardrobe. Keep your voice loud and clear I know it will ease the pain of the fabulous zaftig women in the world.
