Welcome to Gaia! ::

We have lots of anorexic girls at my school. D: I find being on the skinny side is a downfall, and I'm not either, I'm in the middle, size 11-13. Those skinny bitches will DiE of just about anything. Seriously. Any disease ravages the body, and skinny people usually are skinny 'cause they don't eat enough. And when you don't eat, you don't have vitamins or any other helpful substance. Plus, they'd starve sooner than the rest of us! WE WOULD INHERIT THE WORLD! -maniacal laughter- The only downside is that zombies wouldn't be delayed much by the annoying skinny b***h you throw towards them. D:

I used to be a 16 but i have gone down to a 12 idk how that happen im still eating as much as b4... neutral its hard to dress gothic in my family the closest i can get is wearing colorful knee-high socks and a black jacket
plus my hair is curly so xp but i got it chemically straitened so yea confused

the tension was all messed up.....at least that was what my mom and grandma said.....also the needles kept breaking.

Isn't it horrible? It's one of the hardest thing to be a foreign female in Japan, because clothes just... aren't your size, ever, unless you fit a size 00-5. Being a 7 places you in an area where clothing starts stretching it into the X's depending on the brand. Then again, it isn't unnatural in countries where the majority of people are naturally skinny.



Himekuro, in no way is a size 7 fat. My mother is the same, exact way. I used to be a 3, and as I got older, I gained weight and am now a size 9, and she reminds me everyday of ow "fat" I've gotten. Don't you dare listen heart

Anyway, in the topic of sewing machines, I'd agree going with a sale is the best way of going about getting a new one. But when it comes to the realm of sewing machines, you get what you pay for. If you go for a machine that's "on sale/special price" without it being on sale, then you're going to be buying a crap trap that's going to give you more trouble than it's worth. Stick with brand names; I use Singer and Kenmore.

Past that, since you're not rich like me ( 4laugh ) sign up for coupons with your local fabrc store; if you don't get coupons for fabric, then you save on notions frequently. I would also invest in a dress form in your size which you can find on eBay if you search well.

For your very first project, buy many yards of muslin (of whatever weight you want it to be) and fashion an entire outfit using just muslin with a dark or colorful thread. This way, you get your practice without ruining expensive fabric, you can see where your mistakes are, you get to practice with your new machine and you get to sharpen your designer's eye! heart

I really hope you start sewing soon. I would love to see what kind of Decora you'd turn out! heart

WEll, everyone's different. I personally am only a size 0, but that's because I was born this way and I'm only 13. My advise: each and everyone of us is beautiful in our own specail way. I hate people who think they're ugly, fat, too skinny, etc. because they don't realise how pretty they are. Clothing wise, if you can't find Asian clothes in your size, wear clothes that actually fit and add a bizzion accessories! You can even mess up your pretty white shirt by dying it a gazillion colors of panting your old jeans with fabric paint or something to make them look pretty.

Well im still in middle school (im 13 w00T! HIGHSCHOOL ) so im not that big (i dont consider myself skinny though) Alot of girls in my new school (i just moved) just pick at their lunch and throw their lunch away what is the point of that! We're still young and we should enjoy it, unless you wanna be a shapeless waling stick EAT! Food IS your friend

I agree ♥
