I think as long as you look good you can wear anything.

My issue is with being big in general. I'm not a fatty, but 5'10'' usually wearing a US14, so I'm just on the edge of what is catered for. Some Ls from regular Gothic stores have been about a a size too large, whereas if it's an Asian store I'll need all the XX's I can get.

But my problem isn't so much finding clothes that fit (there's always SOMEthing ...maybe not the ideal thing, but something similar) but wearing them. I feel comfortable being over 6' tall in Visual Kei gear with 6'' heels and trousers or a long skirt, but I'm conscious of my curvy legs and height in a Lolita dress. I feel like I should be wearing more "powerful" clothing than something so cute, because of my height first and my size second. But I love the fashion so much, and I think I look good in it, but I feel a bit awkward.

What does anyone think to that? Can you be chubby AND tall and pull off Lolita?

I realize Mana towers over anyone in his heels, but he's thin, so...
