hi a note for transfemmes: there is a site called eshakti where you can get beautifully made femme clothes in a wide variety of shapes, colors, prints, and fabrics -- all made to your measurements. it is not cheap, but it's also not expensive for what it is. i dont know where they ship outside of the us but im sure they have it listed somewhere.
im not a transfemme but i pretty much exclusively shop from eshakti when i can because my body is ridiculous shapes that are not found in pretty much any clothes i could buy off the rack. the quality is amazing, and if anything fits weird, you can send it back for adjustments.
my partner IS a transfemme though, and she just got her first order in, and she just looks so beautiful and so happy and i just. i want to make sure y'all know this exists. i know not everyone can afford it, but for those who can, it can be really nice to have something in a shape you want, in a color you want, in a fabric you want, made for your body no matter what shapes make up your body.
typically for your first order you get custom sizing for free. right now (july 2nd 2023) there's a 35% sale on the whole store, and those sales happen probably quarterly, and you can get the free custom sizing on top of that. you MAY be emailed by the team to confirm some of your sizing, but i promise it's just to make sure your measurements are right, and not the company trying to judge or discriminate. i was contacted for my wild shapes (bust/waist ratio) and my partner was contacted for her height (she's 6'3"). you just email back confirming and it's totally fine.
i hope you have clothes that fit you, size and soul, and make you feel beautiful, whether from here or otherwise.
really glad that this has this many notes and no transphobes yet 💖
Adding Origami Customs to this thread. they are trans owned & make underthings (bras, panties, etc.) and swimwear. They also have custom sizing for free--sizing XXS to 5XL for their non-custom sized pieces, as well as allowing customers to select gusset sizing.
“America IS walkable, you’re all just lazy” my childhood home was an hour from the nearest hospital (by car)
not all Americans are lazy suburbanites, some of us genuinely have to drive miles and miles and hours and hours to buy clothes, grocery shop, see doctors or do anything, really.
notice how in movies they show you New York and costal SoCal and not like, middle of nowhere North Dakota.
“take public transit” look at me, look me in the eye. do you think they have subways in towns with three digit populations? do you think they run busses out to the middle of nowhere?
