Neverfull GM & Plus Size Girls?

[peace43]

I would recommend the following for longer strap drops:

Totally GM
Neverfull GM
Cabas Mezzo
Palermo GM

I have the CM and the strap drop is nice. The top of the CM does not hit you underneath the armpit area. I also have the Neverfull GM. I actually loaded a bunch of water bottles into the Neverfull GM and hung it from a door knob for a couple of days to "stretch" the straps a bit more. It worked!!! I love the Neverfull GM!!

Good luck with your choice!

I have the GM and it fits comfortably with a shirt or sweater (I'm a 16). The mm was to small - it did not just slid up you know? I would agree that the Galleria is much better though - it is more comfortable IMHO and has a little extra room. I tried to find a pic to show you but they do not clarify that well. Good luck deciding!

OP - what did you end up doing?

i am larger framed as well and the gm fits under my arm with room to spare. although i am taller, i am 2+, top is smaller than bottom- but ironically some bags that i thought wouldnt fit me--really did. like my monty pm. i was surprised that one fot under my arm as well. i love the gm and there is room for play

p.s.
i could fit the mm as well...but the SA there told me it looked like a baby bag (literally). he said it looked like a git that i had to wear b/c someone bought it for me. i was not offended but he was brutally honest. my logic was i could always make the gm smaller by cinching the sides if i wanted but i could never make the mm bigger

My MM fits fine under my arm - not a lot of room to spare with a sweater - but not a hope with a coat. As I sadly found out yesterday. Oh, well, I don't plan on wearing a ton when it's cold enough to need a coat.

 

[Bagged]

As a big girl, I just have to weigh in (no pun intended - lol). I decided that while I am somewhat limited to designer clothes (being a size 18), I refuse to let myself be limited on purses. I buy what I like and don't worry about it. I tend to gravitate towards bigger bags anyway cause I haul around a lot of stuff, but don't stress over bags when it comes to your size - we are limited enough.

Rock what you like with pride! You're gorgeous!

So true!! This should be my siggy right here! I absolutely love this post!!

I'm plus sized and I have this bag. The strap fits on my shoulder and its not uncomfortable for me, but I wish it were about 2" longer. Then it would be perfect, especially when I have to wear a heavy coat.

What I love about purses is that they fit no matter what my size is. If you like a bag, then wear it with pride girl!

I carry too much stuff so I have outgrown my popincourt haut. I have tried on a GM and it seemed to fit just fine. Mind you, I was only wearing a blouse at the time. I think I was too busy drooling to seriously consider the practicality of it for the winter months.

I am medium height (5"6) and athletic build (+130 lbs) and it just barely fit over my shoulder with a winter coat. It was a tight fit but I could get away with it. I wished the straps were 2" longer and it would be perfect. If you're not wearing a winter coat, it may work. It is too bad you can't test it out at a nearby boutique. Maybe call Louis Vuitton and ask them the same question. Good luck!

thanks for the tip! I need more info like this!

idk i am relatively small (5'6, 125lbs) and i struggle sometimes with the strap on my gm. i use mine to carry books mostly and i don't feel like it is a bag i can just sling over my shoulder, more like have to inch it up there. everyone's experience seems to be different though, so trying it on would be best. good luck!!

I'm a plus size too and it fits:
