We love fashion advice, being a style thief, learning how to dress like you are in The Bird Cage, feeling like a powerful femme dyke with press-ons and all that good stuff here at Autostradde. Here’s the thing, though. YOU ALL, all 6,900 of you, are a super valuable resource when it comes to the way that the lesbians, queers, bisexuals and trans and nonbinary folks are wearing clothes because, presumably, you are wearing clothes most days and you had to get them from somewhere! Right? Like I think my logic is sound. You must surely know a range of the best-fitting, most dapper or sensible or femme places to obtain things to put on your body. For example, I sometimes like to get clothes from my girlfriend’s closet, so I will be listing that as a great way to try new styles. I bet you all have some tips on affordability, too!
And if you don’t know where to get clothes, that’s the really important part. I recommend putting a description of what you’re looking for in the comment section and then people who have helpful ideas can swoop in and save the day!
Do you want to just list off all your fave places to find your clothes? You can also do that! I am sure that someone will find this super helpful. Bonus points if you tell us some details about yourself / your style.
I’d love for folks to share, especially, their recommendations for brands that have accessible sizing and a range of plus sizes, places that are affordable and / or (because sometimes it really is an “or”) ethically made, and also would love to know when a place is a woman / queer / trans / POC owned small businesses if you happen to have that info because I am sure everyone here appreciates supporting indie businesses, too! And if you have a shop or clothing business, please don’t be afraid to go ahead and plug yourself in the comments.
So, who’s ready to help each other feel like we all look really hot? I’m ready!!
xoxo,
Nico
