With the increase in plus size women in Hollywood and in the music industry, the award season has proven something to me. This may be controversial, but I feel like some of these industry plus size woman do not think they deserve the best. Show after show, I am seeing plus size women in dresses that are substandard. I feel like some of these woman are taking dresses that they can get, instead of the dresses that they deserve. I have been watching award shows all my life and even the worst dress individuals have gowns/dresses that are properly tailored.
Melissa McCartney in Marina Rinaldi
I loved that Melissa went with a plus size designer and I actually like the color. Let's first state the obvious, if the designer is plus size shouldn't the designer know how a dress should be constructed for a plus size woman. Looked at the botched lining & the tacked on sleeves. So you are telling me that Marina Rinaldi saw her in this dress and didn't see that flawed seam. She saw it...I guarantee.
A few weeks ago I talked about Amber Riley's dress and some felt that I was hard on her. I just felt like no one straight size would have been caught dead in her dress. Yeah it was cute for a plus size dress, but do you want just a dress that is just okay for the fat girl. Come on! I definitely think I deserve better and I think you and every plus size girl in the world deserves better. These actresses & singers are at the top of their game right now and they are getting dresses with tacked on sleeves & add on straps. I am a believer in altering your garments to your liking, but it should look like it belongs and not an obvious add on.
I will say I think Octavia Spencer looked really good. Her gown was by Tadashi. Tadashi is known for making gowns in plus sizes as well. The gown was a great fit, I thought the beading was pretty. This look was simple & glamorous. So good for Octavia for looking the way she deserves to look.
