The Curvy Girl Struggle

Why do designers neglect the curvy girl's needs?

The Curvy Girl Struggle
Jessica Mishael Bordelon

Let’s get one thing straight first: women with curvy butts are usually considered the sexiest. Hell, one of the most memorable songs from the 90s was all about how “Baby Got Back.”

But when it comes to dressing that “back,” designers leave us out of the equation. Here are 4 clothing items designers need to learn how to make for the sexiest butts.

TIGHTS

The material used to make these things was not designed to cover big sexy butts. Most designers use the same thickness of material for our ankles that they do for the extra cushion of our backsides. This stretches the material until it's almost see-through.

We don’t want to give the public a peep show to our “glorious maximus.”

We demand thicker material be applied to the top of tights so that butts of all sizes can be adequately covered.

MINI-SKIRTS

I absolutely love mini skirts! I love the way they move and look. But the only time I feel comfortable wearing them is in the winter. Why? Because the designers don’t make the backs longer than the front, so what’s 4 inches above the knee in the front, will be 8 inches above the knee in the back!

Now don’t get me wrong. For ladies in commitments, this fact is great for playtime at home, but when we’re walking about in public we’re not trying to give everyone a peak.

And the reason winter is the only time we can wear mini-skirts is because we wear them with those tights I already talked about. In the winter, the mini skirt and tights solve each other’s visibility problems.

COME ON PEOPLE!

We deserve the right to wear mini-skirts in the summer too. I want to get sun on my legs everyday without the fear of my underwear showing.

JEANS

Thankfully there are designers who’ve stepped up and made great jeans for us ladies, but many still don’t. Ladies and gents of the fashion world, OUR WAISTS curve in, and our butts curve out. We are not those flat butt, no hip-having models on your runways. We are the ones who buy your clothes.

Design for the money if you won’t design for us.

Shout out to designers who are already making jeans for the sexiest shapes.

PANTIES

In the dark days before boy shorts were “a thing,” we curvy ladies had it rough. Briefs might as well have been thongs, because they NEVER stayed in place. They simply never had enough material to cover the assets.

And don’t even get me started on thongs. While they are great for the bedroom, they are murder on any woman who’s dared to wear them during the day.

Then the glorious day arrived and BOY SHORTS were created. These marvelous panties actually cover the whole butt of most women, PLUS they are apparently one of the sexiest styles according to most men. Go figure!

Plus, you can get them in see through, lace, and many other interesting fabrics and styles. This is one clothing item drama that may have been solved.

IN THE END,

This is a rant at designers who don’t make clothes for the sexiest of women. We the ladies of hourglass and pear shapes whose back ends have been the envy of many for decades (at least) and the desire of many others.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
