A sartorial follow-up to her hilarious memoir in stories, Fat Girl Walking, internet personality Brittany Gibbons once again deep dives into the world of the plus size woman, this time chronicling her love/hate (but mostly hate) relationship with what fashion.

From Pinterest boards and Instagram posts to shop windows and ad campaigns, fashion is everywhere. We shop and dress for practical reasons like job interviews or to make a good impression at the board meeting. We shop and dress for more adventurous reasons--for dates, to woo a lover, to catch someone's eye. Clothes are armor for women, and we wrap a lot of meaning in what we choose to wear.

As plus-size spokesmodel and blogger Brittany Gibbons knows, what we choose to wear is especially important, and especially emotional, for curvy women. This isn't only because curvy women feel underrepresented and underserved by the fashion world. For the curvy woman who struggles with feelings of self-worth and a lack of confidence the feeling of why bother can come crashing in. You can't help but think wouldn't leggings and a slouchy sweater just be easier? Especially when we, like every other woman on the planet, are facing greater, real-life obstacles like raising kids, attending college, keeping your marriage together, paying bills, and a myriad of other daily struggles.

Everyone has those days where they hate their body, they hate their clothes, but self-confidence and strength can come from a great outfit. Brittany is determined to help women, curvy and otherwise, embrace fashion and all the bumps and lumps that come with it. An overdue love letter to her body, Brittany delves into the hilarity and the humility of her quest to find her own personal style--to break out of a rut of maternity underwear and men's undershirts once and for all. From wardrobe malfunctions, to fashion advice, to mom bodies and the perfect pose, The Clothes Make the Girl (Look Fat)? is the empowered battle cry all women deserve.

Suggest ordering one size up
Color: Pink Gray, Size: 44
The suit coat itself was fine and had a decent fit, the pants did not fit me despite the measurements indicating that they would. I would estimate they were at least an inch and a half too small in the waist. So if you are ordering I would order the next size up from what you think you need. I got lots of compliments on it I will say that

Pieces do not match
Color: Double Breasted Black, Size: 42
The pants are too big. Should have an option to order pieces separately.

This is a very nice suit
Color: Pink Gray, Size: 42
I liked that you could use it in all seasons because it has pink lines you could put it with a pink shirt in the warm season or if is cold outside you could put a black or gray shirt very versatile.

Great!!!!!!!
Color: Black, Size: 38
The MOGU tuxedo set is an excellent, stylish product that works well for special occasions like proms, weddings, and parties. 1. Style and Appearance Modern Slim Fit: The suits are consistently praised for their slim-fit design, which provides a sharp, modern, and tailored silhouette. This contemporary cut is a major selling point for men looking to avoid the boxy fit of traditional rentals. Visual Appeal: The tuxedo sets look very much like the pictures online, often featuring stylish details like shawl lapels or unique jacquard/printed fabrics. They are designed to make a statement and stand out. 2. Quality and Material Value for Price: Customers report that the quality is generally better than expected for the affordable price point. The material is typically a polyester/viscose blend, which is soft, smooth, and breathable enough for an evening event. Construction: The suits are considered sturdy and well-put-together for occasional use. 3. Key Considerations (Sizing and Fit) Sizing Inconsistencies: This is the most critical point of feedback. Sizing can run small or be inconsistent with typical US sizing (sometimes aligning closer to Asian sizing charts). Recommendation: It is highly recommended to refer closely to the brand's specific size chart using chest, waist, and height measurements, or even consider ordering a size up, as tailoring smaller is easier than letting out a too-small garment. Pants: The pants often come with a flat front and a slim-fit cut. They typically require hemming or minor alterations for a perfect length and fit, which is common for ready-to-wear suits.
