Introduction and a question
« on: February 15, 2015, 06:14:37 AM »
Hi everyone! Call me Kat.
 I'm relatively knew to the Fursuit/furry community, but I dressed up as animals a lot as a kid. I made a practice fursuit a few years ago and want to make a proper one this year, so I came here for tips and advice. c:
Just a question if I may; Do you think someone can be too chubby to fursuit? I'm a little on the big side and wanted to know if it could still look okay and what peoples thoughts are on it.
Anyways, thanks for reading c:!
Looking for someone who might be able to draw my fursona for me.

Welcome to the forum.

Honestly, no. I think as long as it makes you happy go for it.

I hope you like it here.

Greetings.

I think that if chubby humans are accepted by humans, then chubby furballs should be accepted by furballs  :D
Besides, a non-furry is probably most likely going to judge you on being a furry first before that haha.

Welcome to TFF!

To be quite frank, it's usually not a problem. I must admit that, as well as when people choose their outfit, one should consider the proportions, in my honest opinion. Being chubby isn't something that needs to be hidden or ashamed of, after all. Go for what you feel like and see what works best for your body. In my example, I'm quite underweight and shouldn't wear things that make me look even thinner. I used to wear a dark purple pinstripe blazer. People actually asked me, if I was sick, as it made me look even more skinny than I'd do in other clothes.

All in all, you're good, as long as you're happy with yourself (and those around you). :3 Have a good time here on TFF. :3

Thanks for all the welcomes c: I've decided that weight doesn't matter after looking around the site and online. It just makes my fursona more cuddley!
