Off-Topic Deathfat Encounters IRL - This thread is not your personal army.

It's easy to demand clothes in all sizes when you have no idea how to make clothes in the first place.

They don't wanna hear that a size 6 will pretty much fit all the chicks in that range, but when you get up into the plus sizes, especially about 3X and over....that doesn't work any more. One 4X will have a bigger ass, another will have chunkier thighs, and that other woman over there is gonna have a gut. It's harder to make something that will "fit" all of them and look good.

Besides, they want to be charged the same amount of money for a shirt or dress as a skinny little thing, when their clothes take substantially more fabric. NO IDEA WHY some lines aren't interested in doing that....

There are some excellent pattern companies that cater to those sizes, and they could end up with a custom fitted garment that looks nice on them. They even have variations on sleeves or other parts of the garment, so you could make several items that aren't identical. Of course, that's too much like work, so....
 
Death fats get fat in weird areas, like Tess and her ham hock arms, Kailyn and her huge gut, and Charity from M600PL with wings of fat growing off her ass.

There's no way at all to make standardized patterns for those sizes. There are (or were) scanners that would take your measurements and create sewing patterns for you, but I remember it being rather expensive, and I don't know if they're still in use.
 
Once I worked in an office/white collar capacity with a woman whose career was pretty badly affected by her refusing to admit she was fat. She had some vague mental problems I never really knew the details on- she wasn't just retarded, she was likely very depressed. Maybe she got put on meds that made her gain weight. Maybe she had an eating disorder.

Point being, she always looked like she was stuffed into a sausage casing. She was pretty short/small frame, but she was clearly wearing S clothes when she needed L or XL. Maybe 200lbs and she should have been more like 120. Her pants were always bursting at the seams and she was known for ripping them open at the butt. She would wear dresses and when she sat down her fat just overflowed them like a muffintop but on the bottom.

The working theory was that she refused to buy clothes that fit her because it would be conceding that she had actually become actually fat and it was an actual issue and not the type of weight she could lose quickly. She seemed mildly aware she was overweight but only in the sense that women worry about their tummies before swimsuit season, when the reality was that she was clearly morbidly obese and had not updated her wardrobe.

She wasn't outright fired, but she basically had all her projects taken away because it was just that unprofessional and was unhired so to speak. A large (heehee) part of her job was presentations/public relations and you just can't look like that. You can be fat. But you can't be exploding out of your clothes.

She wasn't a deathfat by my American standards, but this is the only place I could put this story.
 
I tend to go shopping at retail stores late at night, because it's quiet, and the crazy people are funnier.

Tonight I saw a true deathfat on a scooter. All I could see was her leg. It was...wide. It was wide like you took the image of her leg, and stretched it horizontally, or squashed it. I couldn't even see her thighs, because her gut was covering them, but her shins were out and covered in little open wounds. Just dotting that swollen leg...

I don't know why, but your post reminded me of a trend that was popular on YT a few years ago. Normies would buy deathfat clothes in thrifts stores, then alter them into normal-sized outfits. The deathfats were up in arms about it, of course. How dare regular-sized people rob them of clothes meant for THEM!!

I'd like to see the same thing happen in reverse. Have a deathfat buy three normal sized dresses and stitch them into a tarp.

There's still software out there for that, and services if you don't want to learn how to use the software that will do that for you.

The thing is......it's not $9.99 or less, and you still have to assemble the clothes. Too much like work, so not a lot of death fats are really interested in doing it.

I have trouble finding patterns that are long enough for my legs, so I've learned how to alter them to fit. It usually involves making a quickie test garment. Again, too much like work, so they ain't gonna do it.......

Quite a common approach for the obeasts in the EGL community. Shame it ruins two or three very expensive dresses.
 
Oh man, I've seen a few.

Highlights include the fat family i saw at a local museum. The oldest woman (grandma maybe?) Was in a scooter and was just a mountain of flab. The younger woman was walking beside her (blocking the whole hallway) and then the hoglets (at least 4 kids as i remember) were all overweight. Grandma was at least 500, ma was easily 300, and each kid was a little sphere. The kids kept climbing onto their mountainous grandma and we had to pop into a seperate gallery to try and pass them, since they were so slow and wide.

Also, a massive (maybe over 500?) Man at a furry convention who had chained at least 4 long tails together, so no one could walk behind him without tripping on it. He reeked to high heaven and everyone was avoiding him.
 
i'd love to see one of those huge, 600 pound beasts, stuffed into a fursuit
Certainly.

I had one in the workhouse today and he was shaped normally from the knees down and the chin up but everything inbetween? The meaty flaps were floppy, the gunt was jiggly, the bingo wings flapping. Venus of Willendorf with the thicc sliders to maximum. He was coated in some sort of grime beneath the (much too small) shirt he was wearing which left his full thorax exposed, the collarbones were seeped in it, had the appearance of motor oil but stank strongly of rotting vegetation.
It was an abomination.
 
I'm good friends with a guy that is just a really good guy to be friends with. He's good at having fun, he's isn't easily offended, we can actually commit to plans, etc.
But he's Type 2 diabetic, and ofc very very fat. He says he only drinks diet soda and this is true at his house: but about every week we go to a meetup together, and he always has a big, full-sugar coke or two. And some candy.
And he ALWAYS ends up with "such a crazy headache" and not feeling well. Dude, you just ate 800 calories of pure refined sugar in under 10 minutes. I'm sure he could get away with it when he was 18 and not diabetic, but he's far past that stage of life.

I don't feel like it's my place to intervene, but it does frustrate me to feel like I'm watching him shoot himself in the foot.

So... what were you doing at a furry convention?
 
Last holiday season I was flying back home. Used my vet status to board early so I got to watch everyone come in. As the plane was getting full the seat next to me was still empty. Then I saw one of the fattest women I've ever seen (didn't help that she was easily under 5'0. so she was probably lighter than she looked). I panicked as she kept approaching me but sighed in relief when she passed me and kept going to the back. Would have been a hellish 6 hour flight.

Another time I was forced to sit next to a really obese man but at least the airline comped my seat.
 
I have one deathfat encounter IRL.

Was at a sporting event. Saw a guy in a wheelchair. Looked to be late 20s. He was so fat that his belly drooped down to his feet. He wasn’t able to wear shoes because his feet were so fat. This monster easily could’ve been on My 600 Lb Life. His parents were also obese but not morbidly. He was wearing a white t-shirt that fit more like the Muscle Bra, and a pair of jorts that were basically shredded and tattered like The Hulk’s pants. I wanted to gawk so badly.
