Shopping for plus size clothes is not that different to shopping for ‘regular sized’ clothing, and is not an easy thing at the best of times, particularly if you have two children that hate shopping, and clothes. It usually goes something like this: attempt to park the car (never takes less than 19.3 minutes to find a spot, during which time I am bombarded with “There’s one! Oh, you missed it!” every 14 seconds), get out the super expensive pram I insisted we buy, but takes a degree in engineering to put together, strap the baby in the pram (who begins to protest at not being allowed to walk) and then dodge other crazed mums trying to park in order to find the entry to the mall. After this, I have to negotiate a path past all the fast food and donut stores (and coffee shops, which only adds to the pain), find the plus size clothes shop I’m after, and rummage through until I find the style, price and size I need. Of course I need to try them on, as they’re all cut differently, and this presents an opportunity for the oldest to fling the curtain open whilst I am half dressed. I haven’t even tried the new clothes on yet. The baby then decides to assert her right to tantrum, and I am receiving ‘the look’ from other shoppers. Frantic attempts to bribe both children with snacks ironically make me the target of even worse looks, and I usually end up leaving empty handed.
The blessing to all mums now, though, is online shopping. And it is here we are guaranteed peace and quiet whilst browsing virtual aisles, finding the clothes we want, in the size and colour we want, at fantastic prices. And we can do it with a coffee in one hand!

You might recall the Chop Shop from one of my posts way back when. These guys are rad, they consistently come up with bright and creative designs, often based around two of my favourite topics, music, and the interweb.
