Nancy Grows Up


I've gotten into Nancy comics from the 1940s, some of them are pretty insightful. Of course Nancy didn't know of :"Big is Beautiful" back then!

Nancy is Happy Tumblr

  1. Dear Peeps, big people. What grieves me the most, is the lack of nice practical clothing. That big lady looks so dignified. That's the way people - fat or skinny - ought to dress. i get so fed up with the ugly crap the stores sell - and the sewing patterns are whack too. And good luck to even the Twiggies out there looking for a decent slip. It's November, and fabrics just seem to remain on starvation diets.

    1. yeah it's hard to find good clothes especially for big people. This cartoon was from the 40s, people definitely dressed up back then to go out. I think probably most very fat people probably had their clothes homemade or tailored at those times. Yeah sewing patterns have driven me crazy, nothing in my size. I have to find my own clothes in non-traditional spots.
