Go corset shopping. I hopefully start out googling plus-sized corsets. 2X, wow lovely ones and some that aren't 200$ (btw, that is my size or 22/24. Yes, I'm big but it gets worse). Turns out 2X in plus sized corset talk is TINY. As in Marilyn Monroe size 10 tiny (as plus sizes go). No, the biggest they make is a 6X. A fucking SIX X. And it says it's a 22/24 but when you measure it out it doesn't come close to fitting my waist size. It barely fits a 40" waist (that's NOT a 22/24 ladies and in comparison, my breasts should be an H cup.
Yes because 6X wasn't bad enough, you're going to insist I take an H cup. BTW those measurements don't work either. I know my cup size (sure as fuck isn't an H) and my bra size which is considerably larger than what they had listed out again 40" so I have no idea who/what they think these corsets are going on but it's not an actual plus sized female. And I KNOW there are women out there with corsets who are bigger than me. I don't think I can make one. My sewing skills are now bad and it's one of the activities that hurts my nerve damaged hand. I might, just might be able to take the one I have that's very old. add in panel and expand it maybe in the side where it would be less noticeable and recover it with a less horrid fabric. Suggestions?
And I WISH that were an April's Fool's joke but it's not. It's the sad truth. You know that feeling where you feel like you look like that fat ugly fun house mirror version of yourself then you tell yourself no one really looks like that. Well the corset makers are here to tell you that you DO look like that and maybe you should just wear a circus tent.
The day didn't start out well either. I actually went to bed early (for me, i.e. before 1 AM) and woke up at quarter to 3 in the morning with a super low sugar reading. That means getting up and eating sugar and protein until it levels. Because I want to be eating candy and hot dogs and/or peanut butter at 3 AM. I got about 4 hours sleep all day.
The only highlight of this day is at least I got some stuff written for my first day of Camp nano (i'll be back later with a word count)
Oh Arrow you become more unwatchable every episode. Sigh.
