i stole this thread from SF, found it pretty interesting. hopefully people aren't too self-conscious.
what parts of your body are out of proportion, overly big/small, or just awkward? how does this effect buying clothes?
myself:
- genus valgum ('knocked knees', they go inwards as opposed to outwards. not to be confused with the opposite which is bow legged. this was never picked up as a kid by my parents, and i only noticed it in the last year or so. its not super obvious, but you can tell if you pay attention to my legs. from various WAYWT posts i have spotted a few others have it too. am looking into possible surgery to get it fixed - if anyone else has experienced this, please drop me a pm.
- i was a US 10 in shoes until a year ago when they magically grew to a US 12. buying the same, new shoes all over again sucks.
- insanely broad shoulders. a 46 would fit me perfectly in all areas except the shoulders, which needs almost a 50. the problem with getting a jacket/coat in a 50 is that then the shoulders are okay, but everything else is way too wide or long.
- i'm 6'2 with a really long torso - most shirts are way too short on me. go up a size and you have the same problem as above.
- my left ear sticks out slightly more than the right - makes hats a no-no since it draws attention to them.
despite all this, i am somehow not a virgin or live under a bridge.
