Clothing Thoughts in 2024 with Klippel Trenaunay Syndrome and Lymphedema

My @shopmyviolet order will be here soon! 💜🌸✨ I've been working on adding to my pastel wardrobe , and experimenting with everything will be a lot of fun! I love the mix of frothiness, layering to build shape, playfulness, and gentle silhouettes. What I find most impressive is that My Violet is able to make an adorable, maximalist garment extremely wearable and comfortable.

I've ordered from them previously, and their 100% cotton Babydoll (1. 2.) and Cadoodle dresses are items I end up wearing every week. They save the day every time I need something non-restrictive, but I still want to look cute. I especially appreciate they are a small, woman-owned business who produces ethically, and their sizes go up to 5X. As of 22 March 2024, their 5X is sized - B: 60-63", W: 54-57", H: 64-67". You can find the whole size chart here.

One very annoying thing about my long list of chronic illnesses are the issues with clothing. It sounds minor, but the wrong clothing for me could lead to life threatening issues, so I have to be exceedingly cautious. Within the last 8 years, as Lymphedema developed, my body has become extremely "picky" about pressure. It's a long explanation, but basically, I end up needing garments a certain amount larger than what my size should be to prevent blood clots and lymph clogs.

Lately, my creative goal has been, "Don't hurt me, but also fashion." It's a tall order. I find that pieces I can adjust are super helpful, i.e. items with lacing, multiple button or hook and eye "settings," and I've been looking for the perfect wrap skirt or dress.

Elastic bands, when they are actually putting pressure on me, are my worst enemy. However(!), if I can buy (x) garment with elastic in waist big enough that there are inches to spare in the waist, even when seated, and it has a drawstring, or it will at least gently rest at my hips instead of my waist---we are in business. I do need a different type of pressure for medical assistance--compression garments!

So what's the difference between those and elastic bands? Elastic bands, even the wide ones, unevenly put pressure on a body that doesn't move its lymph fluid very well. It's sort of like if you were to wear a really tight hair band around your wrist all day. You know how it would get really uncomfortable and it might turn your skin a bit purple underneath? It's cutting off your circulation a bit!

My lymphatic and vascular systems don't do what they should, so they're very sensitive to little "insults." A compression garment, like a stocking, leggings, arm sleeve, or shirt, targets larger problem areas, helping the circulatory system where it's stressed instead of further stressing it. (Wearing a proper garment at the wrong time can also be bad! It's hard to nail down.)

They don't always have to be Rx garments. Over the years, I've adapted most of what I have because I was very dissatisfied with my first Rx garments. They didn't completely address my needs, and they are extremely expensive. With needs that shift and evolve and the medical industry very behind, I've found it better to help myself how I can.

Fashion is just something I like to have fun with. I'm not particularly well-dressed, and it's not what I studied. Nonetheless, wearing beautiful things makes me happy, and it gives me something to look forward to. My outfits tend towards tacky and garish, but I'm cool with being me.

I'm entirely late to seeing the barbie movie but my roommate had very specific demands that we see it together so I had to wait.

Waiting did give me the advantage of getting this skirt in for the perfect fit.

Where do you get your clothes from? Your fits are always just so cute!

I make a lot of them recently! But shopmyviolet is a really good slow fashion/women owned/cute pastel + pink fashion brand I have a couple pieces from. Love them v much. I also thrift lingerie nightgowns and wear those like all the time! Styling is v important so check your local thrift or lingerie boutiques and just see what you can alter to fit your personal style. I don't think I own more than a couple items I haven't altered in some way. Finesse also has some cute stuff that goes up to a 3XL, but I've only got 2 things from there. One I really like, the other I like but I think they size their tops down a little bit. A 3XL was super tight on my arms, but I have v big arms so that might just be me!

Have fun styling!
