This is Thin Privilege

I am anywhere from a 12 to a 14 when doing normal shopping so i have thin privilege in the sense that I can generally make things work at straight sized stores. Yesterday however, i went prom dress shopping. There was not a single dress available above a 14 and i found two, yes that’s right two induvidual dresses at a department store with over 40 styles of prom dresses. Neither of them fit, as prom dresses are obstensibly sized about a size smaller then other dresses. I ended up buying a black dress from Torrid that while not a prom dress exactly should do fine. Thin privilege is being able to buy a typical prom dress.
