A couple of years ago, I was a manager for a
fashionable plus size clothing store. I absolutely love it.
The bad customers were bad (as expected) and sometimes
awful (also as expected) but at least they gave me something to laugh about
with my co-workers. However, the good customers... they were why i worked there
One day, a
woman in her mid-40's came in with her husband and three boys. She was wearing
a pullover and baggy jeans. She was sweet, but very reserved about trying on
clothes. She told me that hadn't purchased women's clothing for several years
and was hoping i could help her with jeans (one could say that she was ahem all
about that bass). Regardless of her weight, She was an extremely beautiful and
darling woman.
Her family was
super supportive of helping her regain some of her self-esteem. i was pumped to
help her out. A process this big was going to take a while, so i urged her
family to wait on the supplied benches while she and i got to work. So, we
shopped, grabbing some cute tops and fun bras. We talked about how to buld
wardrobes and mix-and-match pieces, and then we got to the danger zone: jeans.
I guessed that she was about a size 18-20
and after discussing different cuts of denim, we settled on higher rise,
high stretch skinny jeans: they would accommodate her proportionately small
waist and large posterior. We got into the fitting room and i eagerly coaxed
her to try on one of the outfits i had picked out for her. A few moments later,
she called me over to come into the fitting room. I slipped inside to see her.
"I haven't felt this beautiful for a long time," she said to me.
There were tears in her eyes and a huge grin on her face. I motioned for her
husband and kids to come see. As soon as the husband saw her, he choked up. I
couldn't get over the grin on his face.
There was so much love in his eyes.
"You look
absolutely gorgeous, babe." They ended up getting her almost an entirely
new wardrobe. I've never seen a happier family I accept you, and you get the
same respect form me whether you are black, white, gay straight, Asian
,bisexual, Australian, tall, fat, whatever it is. We are all people, and i look
at the people of the world the same way, as my brothers and sisters. Share this
