Summer Is Comming and Summer Dresses...Yeah Right

I really dislike Summer for a number of reasons. I don't like the heat. Lets face it I am from Washington state and normally summer weather peaks in the 80's. I live in California and the last couple of summers it has gotten 110+. Screw that. Being busty and overheating sucks in mulitple ways. There is the whole sweat issue...ewwww but must be mentioned. And have you seen the styles for summer clothes? Empire waists as far as the eye can see......

UM hell no! Empire waists make a busty girl look like an alien with two sets of boobs. The waist line hits right midbreast on me. That is putting a seem right across my nipples and having the rest poof out under it. ICKY! But for some reason plus sizes clothing is made under the usumption that if you are a plus sized girl it is only in the waist area and that you will be normal in the bustline. Or flat even. Again hell no. I am FULL FIGURED. Meaning busty and plus sized. So what do they do, they make tunic style dresses. Obviously not made by a full figured person or they would understand that dresses like that look like MUMU's on girls my size. Especially on busty girls my size. And I can never find a skirt and top set I like that screams summer.  So unless I make my own clothes (I am a single working mom who is aslo going back to school so hello...No Time)  I end up wearing jeans and shirts all summer long.  :-(
