Looking through my wardrobe the other day, I realised most of my warmer weather clothes are falling apart and worn out. So I need to start the dreaded process of getting new ones, I hate clothes shopping, it's such a depressing experience, I rarely find anything that fits, what is it with sizing these days and who really has arms like broomsticks? I rarely find anything long enough in the body with many tops ending just below my boobs and leaving me not only feeling a bit chilly, but like a walking offence against public decency. I hate the nasty fabrics, and they all seem so poorly made. I've looked offline, online in charity shops even at ethical clothing stores because they usually have nicer fabrics, but I'm too big to be ecological, too tall and big generally, it seems you have to be child size to be either ethical or ecological. Vile, eye popping migraine inducing colours and patterns seem popular too.
I can't use a sewing machine either because they hate me and a good choice of fabrics is getting harder to find too, help! Please tell me I'm not the only one who wonder if she'll be stuck indoors because of not having any clothes to wear.
Ugh, sounds awful for you. I hate clothes shopping, or any shopping actually where I have to go in to the shop. Shops are not autistic friendly environments. Normally they are packed, hot, have loud music and the store assistants keep trying to talk to me lol.
I try to do online ordering for clothes whenever I can. Going to the shop in person is a stressful and exhausting experience.
I've managed to find someone who will make clothes for me they'd be in the £50 to £80 price range and she will take patterns from clothes i already have, She has similar problems with clothes to me, her legs are longer than mine too. She's as appalled as I am at the poor quality and lack of choice of many clothes, so I think I can trust her to do a good job.
