Merrill Announces New Clothing Line

[mommyhugz1978]

I ordered a shirt where the back as longer than the front.... I looked really ridiculous in it, I sent it back.. I tired it on after I got it and back in the mail it went!!! and I am short so it made me look like some too ton husy or something... and I barely weight over 200

 

[Soozeeq]

Oh the funny ones - the shirts that are wider than they are long as if all voluptuous women are short and way wide. I do have a shape and it really isn't round! hahaha I like to look nice. I am not trying to fit in with my daughter's friends but I don't want to look old either. I went to a store once to shop and told the lady that worked there that I was looking for some clothes that didn't make me look 40 when I wasn't 40 yet. Now I am 40 and I guess I just don't want to look 60. I often wonder who the buyers are for stores. Do they know fat people? Have they really looked at any? Do they know that not all fat people want big flowers on their pants? Cause a small flower on Big Mama's pants look HUGE!

 

[mommyhugz1978]

LMAO........ Dont' you know that they want all us to look like we are wearing moo mu's ??? I am not even 30 year, I do not need to look like i am my sisters ages their in their 40's, and I do not want to look like I am 18... then again why in the world do they make these skimpy butt clothes and insist on making them for plus size??? I mean I want to hurl when I see a heavy set woman wearing a shirt that barely covers her belly with fat rolls hanging out and THEN she bends over and all you can see is a THONG??? OMG!!! cause big mama isn't' happy either !!!

Leah you crack me up! I saw those same women on the beach a few weeks ago....in bikinis .....nasty, just nasty!

 

[Soozeeq]

Amen sista! You are preachin' to the choir. Riddle me this Batman...Why do women insist on wearing jeans that I so tight that they have to pull the belly flap up, lay on the bed and suck it in to snap or button them. THEN they wear a shirt that is WAY short so you can see the flap and the fact that they got their heart rates up just putting on the jeans? What some won't go through just to wear a smaller size. I want to be comfortable. Yeah I am phat - (pretty hot and thick) and yeah I have way too much visible loveliness (in the way of pounds) BUT I want to be able to breathe, sit down and not fear that if I do either in the wrong way that my button will pop off and fly across the room and hurt somebody! I don't have insurance to cover something like that!

I guess some women in this world will never get it...... then again... I know that I am heavy and I am not going to show off a body that is not even their.. I haven't seen in oh...shoot I lost count how many years.. I think like two or three yrs

 

[Soozeeq]

OH NO - I have to draw the line at bikinis! What part of big women, little string do they think is a good idea? I would be afraid that my suit might get lost in my overflowing beauty! hahaha My suit looks like a suit of armor! just kidding, it does look like a sundress. It comes down to my knees! I hate my legs and I am sure no one else wants to be subjected to that either so I save myself from having to possibly revive someone!

LMAO!!!!! Why do women insist on wearing sleeveless shirts with flappy arms/?? DANG PEOPLE... I don't want admit that I have flappy arms... why would I want to show them off??? PUT them things away!!!! Yeah I am short and heavy but at least when I wear clothes (unlike some of these people who insist on wearing that are jsut too nasty for their own good) that I can feel good about myself in some small way and they flatter me even though I am heavy!! AMEN SISTA!!

I draw the line at bikinis, tankinis or what ever else they refer to them as..... I dont' want to see string and fat together... YUCK!! My suit is kinda a sundress type has the skirt to it... comes to about the middle of my upper legs.. and it flatters this heavy frame..... hehehehe!!!!

 

[Soozeeq]

oh sorry, I think I wore one of the afore mentioned shirts this past weekend! I will try to tame the flying squirrels! hahahahahaha I wonder if duck tape would worK?

Don't you know that duck tape solves the worlds problems/? who needs breast reduction surgery done when you have duck tape... it's cheaper!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

 

[Soozeeq]

I don't need to have the reduction. I need them lifted and repositioned. They seem to have a mind of their own and they must like feet cause that is where they point!

 

[GourmetGirl]

If anyone is looking for a great brand that flatters those of us who don't look like models but still want to look stylish check out Daisy Fuentes' line at Kohls... I LOVE her stuff! Some of it isn't the best look, but the majority of it is great! Her pants and capris and tshirts are awesome! You will definitely be seeing me in Daisy Fuentes all the time at conference!

I meant a breast lift ... not reduction.... LMAO!!!! Still cheapest thing on the market though... go to love tape!!

 

[Soozeeq]

yeah but I am worried about the pain with the removal/changing of the tape! Oh well I guess that is the price one pays for beauty. Okay so just be sure you keep them even. You definitely don't want to be lopsided!

I'm not sure Wal-mart carries enough tape for me. Not that I am all the big but my husband calls them jellies so I might need extra for stabilization!

 

[Soozeeq]

I will have to check out that Daisy Fuentes stuff. I don't want to look like that chick on Norbit! umm Big Mama ain't that big - just in case you were trying to picture what I looked like.

LMAO you are way too funny!!!

 

[GourmetGirl]

rotfl! Too funny! that isn't what I was picturing, but thank you for the comic relief!

ROFL!!! your too funny... are you coming to conference ?

 

[Soozeeq]

Yes I will be at conference but alas - I am in wave 2 I know it will be hard to make it through wave 1 without me but I am sure you can rustle up some excitement without me! hahaha

This is my first conference. I am so excited. Oh btw - I am very shy and never really talk to people. Oh but I am sure you figured that one out already! hahahaha

 

[Soozeeq]

Alison, it looks like we will be at the same conference if you are attending. Settle down now. Don't let the excitement overcome you!

 

[mommyhugz1978]

ROFL!!!! OH well we still have CS for good laughs and fun too!!!

 

[GourmetGirl]

Alison, it looks like we will be at the same conference if you are attending. Settle down now. Don't let the excitement overcome you!

It will be hard, but I will try my best to contain myself. My coworkers are gonna start wondering what is up with me when I am too antsy to work and keep telling myself to 'calm down, alison, calm down'...

 

[Kathytnt]

The e-mail for suggestions is on their website

 

[Soozeeq]

Now ain't that the truth. I told myself that I was only going to be on here for an hour. umm that was about 2+ hours ago. I figure that while I am making my breakfast, I can multi task and it is okay. I like that multi-tasking. It seems to allow me to do so many things that I want to do. To bad it doesn't seem to allow me to do my house work!

Where in Oregon are you from? I have family in Salem

 

[Soozeeq]

My co-workers are excited that I am on vacation next week. They get a break from my constant bouncing off the walls. I do have to hold back a bit as I don't want to do damage to the walls. I also don't want the businesses next door to think we are doing major demo work in the bank. Yes it is true. Talk to your bank tellers. They don't make that much money working at the bank so the NEED extra income!

 

[chefann]

The many issues with fit that VIP had were because they purchased their blanks (unadorned clothing ready to personalize) from many different supplier, who all have their own standards for fit and shrinkage. That's why there were so many different sizing charts on the website. Hopefully that will be eliminated with the switch to Merrill.

 

[heat123]

I just put in my clothing tee request for a cutesy, sparkly logo shirt!

 

[Soozeeq]

I tried to order but the sizes weren't my size or the only ones that came in my size where not colors that I can wear. Hmm maybe I am just being too picky.
