Im sorry to hear of your unpleasant experience Farmgirl i gather the fashion world can be very cruel that way.
Please be assurred that plenty of us appreciatte a real woman not unhealthly skinny little girls!
At 37 you are in your prime!
Seriously underweight 18yrolds who look younger do not appeall to many of us.
