I have a dream...that one day, all women's clothing will be equally accessible and equally fabulous.

In my dream, fat women will no longer have to be super-resourceful outfit hunters.

They will no longer have to put together an outfit with a dress from bandlu.com, a shrug from Lane Bryant, a belt from Rainbow, a pair of shoes from Torrid, and tights from Target.

Although, to be honest, I don't think that cobbling together of gear is too tragic.

In my dream, I own a nationwide green business that caters to fat women too old for Torrid and too young for Lane Bryant.  This store will be called something like Fuschia Frenzy. 

Each store will have a small cadre of seamstresses, who will adjust and hem skirts so they hit the right length, jackets so they hug the right curves, dresses so they dip just enough, and blouses so the buttons don't create ugly gaps.

In my store, the lighting will be soft and the music will be hype.  There will be no pictures of models: the customer is the gorgeous model.

In my store, there will be a different room for everything.  A room-full of shrugs.  Pink shrugs, leopard shrugs, zebra shrugs, polka-dotted shrugs, black shrugs with ruffles and without. 

Picture a room-full of inexpensive but fabulous Eastern and Southwestern-inspired accessories: huge earrings, rings, necklaces, hair accessories, hot socks, tights, glitter, hats, tiaras, and wands.

There will be a room-full of dresses. Short and long, tight and loose, solid and print, denim and poly, cotton and silk.  The dresses will be fifties style, twenties style, and timeless. 

There will be dozens of shelves dedicated to purses of the Tokidoki variety.

The shoe room will be full of regular and wide styles, as well as knowledgeable staff who will measure your foot and make sure you walk out with comfortable, supportive, yet cute shoes. You can rock practical shoes with the right toe ring and pedicure and still look fab.

My store will include true-to-life mirrors with voice-activation: mirrors that say things like, "You're hot!" "Your belly is beautiful!" and "Damn, your upper arms are supa fabulous and luscious!"

My store's fitting rooms will be community-style. Women will not be allowed to hate on themselves in tiny rooms. The community fitting room will be decked out with small tables, where women will be served tea in demitasses and pieces of baklava. Professional dressers will give you their opinions on that outfit and so will your sisters who surround you in various levels of undress.

My store's clothing will be made locally by union members who will receive excellent benefits and childcare while they work short hours.

I can't wait.
