When you get very musculatur that you get into overweight range can finding clothes that fit you be very difficult?

Probably. If you're making clothes you want to them fit the average shaped person to maximise your profits. There's probably specialist clothes for muscley dudes.

Aren't there a lot of places that can now make custom tailored clothes that you can order online that aren't super expensive?

When I presented as a guy I couldn't find any clothes that fit. I looked terrible in boy's clothing.

Now that I switched to presenting female I can can pick any style I want, do some online shopping, and find something that fits really well as a size 2 petite! I wear size 7 heels. 25 inch waist. I'm not super curvy, but most models aren't either. I have an hourglass figure with just enough curves to look good in off the rack clothes.

That's 76 kg and 170 cm in proper measurement units. Your BMI is 26,3. My BMI is 27,8 and I buy regular clothes. If you put on 4 kg of muslces your BMI is still only 27,7. Don't worry about any special clothes.

Know this 5ft5 guy who is 210 lbs at 25 percent body fat but he does do heavy weight lifting

Do you think he will struggle to find clothes?
