As a child, my body developed earlier than the girls I went to school with but my self-esteem, unfortunately, did not. By age 12, I had a growth spurt to 5″6′ and my mother bought me my first girdle. By 18, I stood 5″10 with thick thighs and a small waist. Pants were too short, skirts were too big and I stopped fitting into junior sizes long before I was a Junior in high school. I’ve learned how to make clothes work for my body instead of fighting with my body to fit into clothes. I've also learned the impact that clothing can play psychologically for the wearer and influence those around them.
