I posted this to a thread in r/TwoXChromosomes about a girl the poster knew who was being fat shaming about prom dresses (tw: fat hate, bullying) and I thought I’d post it here, too.

I was a fat teen, and this is what I wore to prom.  I was probably around a size 18 at this time, and I got the dress at DEB.
