I really like this video! l And that dog shirt is so cute for you, as you are such a dog person! I also love how Steven made your day by telling you to on button the top! LOL! I just love watching all your channels! Cannot wait for more videos like this one!
The outfit that Stephen likes- the green shorts and white top, was SO flattering on you! Everything from the fit and the color palette. It made you really pop!
FACT: having a supportive partner that thinks you look good in everything is THE BEST. My bf says stuff like that to me too all the time Sierra. Even if I hate the outfit. 😅
@@Al42069 same. My boyfriend ALWAYS says "no babe you look beautiful!" If I ever ask about something regarding my clothes/makeup/hair. And I'd much rather him just tell me if I look like a damn clown, cuz I GUARANTEE I could do my makeup with no mirrors, in the pitch black, in 10min, and my bf would still say "babe you look beautiful!". He was willing to go out in public with me wearing one pink eye& one blue eye a few weeks ago when I was playing in makeup and he didnt know I was gonna take it off before we left😒😒😒
$158?!?!?! AND it has a hole?! ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! If they are charging THAT much, they need to hand inspect EVERY product before it ships. That's ridiculous!
Sierra, I love you, but could you please show the whole outfit when trying it on? It would be so much better for reference if you didn't crop the screen by your calves, especially with pants and long skirts...
@@katieg5865 The real question is, why did this brand think it was okay to skip out 33-37. Because she got the larger in the standard and a xl in the plus. I mean I'm from the UK, so may you guys measure things different out there. But I would assume there a people that fit the sizes inbetween those sizes
@@babycakez8070 Its literally to do with grading. It cost the company a ton of money to to offer a full range of sizes as each pattern that can only fit say 4 - 5 sizes properly. You have to make a whole new pattern every time you go up a size range or they don't fit nicely. You can't just grab a size 8 pattern and add on extra inches to get to plus size, the arms would be too long and the necklines too wide, and the whole outfit uuuugly. Same with petite sizing, they don't just chop off the legs and call it a day, everything has to be completely redesigned from scratch to get it to fit that market how they expect. Basically companies have to redesign from scratch every time the sizes go up 5 sizes and keep production lines separate, meaning more cost and tracking to manage it all. It sounds like they are trying to save a buck but its actually true that its easier and cheaper for companies to offer completely separate ranges for different sizes with gaps in the middle. They could fill in those gaps but the prices of clothes would skyrocket as the patterning and production costs can't be duplicated, they have to start again every group of sizes.
I know this is about the clothes but oh my God when Stephen said, "its that smile I really like" after just telling you you're beautiful it melted my freaking heart!!❤
I think it would be nice if you did a 'sit down' test to the clothes in the try-ons. Sometimes clothes feel great when you're standing up, but can feel like they're cutting into you when you sit down. :)
Just an idea, I feel like it would be cool for you to do a deep dive on tailoring your clothes. A lot of people recommend getting their staples tailored such as jeans but I’ve always wondered if it’s worth the price and time. Also, I know some people who thrift things like jeans and get it tailored. Obviously post quarantine idea.
For me with jeans I wear through them so easily I don't think I could ever feel like its worth it to get them tailored, I would get a top tailored though (I have actually bought and self-tailored a few tops for myself)
It'd be really cool if Sierra could try tailoring her own clothes as well! My mom used to hem my pants all the time when I was little, and she claims that it isn't that difficult... but I don't have the same sewing experience as her and I'm not sure if it's just better to spend the money at a tailor's for a more professional experience, or if you can get a good result if you tailor something yourself.
It's definitely worth it, I get a lot of my clothes tailored. I don't see the point in wearing ill-fitting clothing, and since I have wide hips and a small waist I don't have much of a choice, especially when it comes to pants. It's a great option for thrifting too. But I recommend it only for higher quality items or else it's a waste of money. Also, it depends on how much tailoring is needed -- standard alternations are usually fairly affordable, but anything more advanced than that might not be worth it, unless it's vintage couture or something.
The jumpsuit is adorable but does not look Luxurious or high quality which is what I expected that price point. I’m sure with two minutes of searching online something so similar could be found at a fraction of the price. How about a video on anthropology knock off clothing for plus sizes?
zenofwater linen usually comes out of the package a bit wrinkly, so I bet with a good steaming or a gentle toss in the dryer it should be fine (still doesn’t excuse the pocket, though)... also the fast fashion thing the person above me said.
What I didn't like is that for that price I would expect pattern matching, and they didn't even attempt to do so. It wouldn't even have been a tough pattern to do it on! Also didn't like how the colour stripes were vertical on the ruched top but horizontal on the bottoms. Loved the colours though!
Solution to the button pull: Add a safety pin between the buttons. Avoid threading it through the top layer of fabric so it stays hidden. Or add a couple stitches to keep it laying flat. I often add safety pins and minor tayloring to my clothes to make them fit perfectly.
Diane S plus is not an option to size down since it was a plus size exclusive and they start at 16W , but totally agree with you the skirt looked great on her
I like everything you kept, but what’s the big deal with just sizing up one size in the last dress so you can wear it without something under it? 🤷🏻♀️
rlavelleSLP I feel like if she sized up then it would’ve been a lot looser on her waist and not wouldn’t have tailored in as nicely, because it fit great everywhere else
I’m digging the “bat” blouse on you. It’s a more mature look than you typically wear but it suits you while still looking youthful and flattering, especially with the jeans you changed into!
I would size down personally if I was her. Esspecially with that stretchy/spandex material it loosens up with wear which I why I always buy my stretchy jeans super tight cause then they stretch out to perfection 👌🏽
To be honest, everything kinda looked like you got it at a thrift store. There's nothing wrong with that of course (heck, I can't afford anything other than thrift store clothing or cheap fast fashion), but since everything was so expensive, that stood out to me quite a bit. Nothing really looked like it was worth the price you payed for it. Anyway, I still enjoyed the video. Love you, Sierra! c;
@@shannon7276 Yes, the first outfit looks exactly like something I'd wear (especially the jeans) and let me tell you: I do not own a single piece of expensive clothing 😂
i love anthro and from shopping here often, sierra picked more of the simple and basic items. there are definitely more items that do not look like "thrift" store items, especially some of the dresses!
They're cute and fit Sierra's style, but yeah, I could never justify the price point. I shop at torrid a lot and even think their non-sale prices are over the top. My mom sees, so I see how much good quality fabric costs when you're not getting a wholesale price on it. I just don't see a justification for the price point. And the jumpsuit having a defect? Yeah, I'm sorry, I may be able to excuse something I grabbed at Walmart or Target for having a defect. But if you're charging $158 for a sleeveless jumpsuit ya better be quality checking every piece that goes out the door
baffling to buy jeans in a 16 (with a 38" waist according to the size chart) and even bother to buy another pair of jeans with a 32" waist. understanding and looking at size charts for each brand you buy from is important for finding clothes that will fit! sorry to dunk on you a bit, I love your content overall and it's great to see someone with a similar body to me making fashion videos!
You misunderstand. The size is 32, not the actual measurement. The site says that this pant in a 32 is equivalent to a 14. It's also their largest size in standard. She CLEARLY stated she tried the largest in standard and the smallest in plus. It was the entire point of the video to show women built like her, you know in the middle sizes, that we can many times enjoy shopping in both areas!
@@jewlzt7331 When jeans are sized by numbers that range from around 24 to 40+ or so, they are sized by waist measurement. While Anthropologie may have a general size chart, they carry independent brands that each have their own size charts to look at ("standardized sizing" is a myth, brands are under no obligation to match their sizing and grading to any other brand, as such there is no such thing as a "true size 14" or any other "true" size). Besides, the general Anthropologie size chart does say a 12/14 has a 31.5 to 33 inch waist, making the size 32 perfectly fit that size range.
@@morganp2336 If you actually measure the waist size on a pair of "size XY" jeans, you'll find that they're often 1-3 inches larger than the numbered size (even in men's jeans - Target is a big offender). So someone who is usually fits size 32 jeans may actually measure 33-35 inches at their waist. You can buy four size 32 jeans from four different brands and get different fits, just as you would with size 12/14s. Vanity sizing just creates headaches all around, and numbered sizing hasn't escaped it.
@@morganp2336 The real question is, why did this brand/designers think it was okay to skip out 33-37. Cos that a big jump from 32" to 38". We should be demanding more consistent sizing across all brands. Instead of call out others for not fitting in clothes size they say they are. The problem is, brands move sizing around to accommodate for the people they think will shop their product or ideal audience. Then on top of that they're allowed their margins for error. These methods have resulted in pleasing some customers and upsetting other.
@@babycakez8070 Hi, I can answer this! It's the fact that the jeans are from two different brands. If a "straight size" brand only goes up to a 32" waist, that's on that brand. If another brand goes to a size 16 and up, that's that brand's choice. If they were from a single brand, it's highly unlikely the brand would skip so many sizes in the middle of its range. And I'm actually going to defend limited sizing, in some capacities. Making clothes in sizes much bigger or smaller than sample size is difficult, and costs a lot of money. To "grade" patterns (aka size them up and down) you can't just add an extra few inches to each dimension. You have to guess how the "average" body changes between each size, which is a lot of effort, and can have a lot of discrepencies between brands as there is no true average human, but pattern graders still have to try their best to make clothes fit a wide variety of sizes. I find a limited size range acceptable in independent brands, as they are working with much less money and much smaller profits. I am a size 12 to 14 in most brands, and am thus sized out of a lot of brands I adore! However, if a brand is large enough to be sold at Anthropologie, I'd expect they make enough money to have expansive size ranges, yet choose not to because they hate fat people. Also, while every brand is sized differently, it's pretty crazy to order something with a certain maximum waist indicated on a size chart under the assumption it runs larger. Even within "vanity sizing" (a myth as there is no standardized sizing between brands) size charts for a brand should pretty decently reflect the actual size of the clothes. That mean an abstract size like a 4 could mean anything, but the size chart will define it. A concrete size like a 32 should reflect a 32" inch waist, because it is literally sized by measurement. It could theoretically have any hip measurement or inseam, but if the waist isn't 32 or close to it, the brand is majorly at fault. Thank you for coming to my fashion student TED Talk lol
14:38 Not trying to nit pick, but saying they run small is kind of misleading?? The first pair was in a 16, which is equal to a 38" not a 32"? Still love you (obviously), I just hope you aren't telling yourself you should fit in jeans a few sizes too small!
Sierra, I know you probably won’t see this comment but I’m so proud of you. I know you’ve been going through tough times. For awhile I had to avoid your channel because it made me upset- it felt like you were trying to shake off the “plus size” label and trying so hard to cling onto the idea that you were a true size 12 despite the fact that you were gaining weight. It felt tough to watch those videos because you truly are one of the only youtubers I relied on to feel comfortable being in a bigger size, but to watch you try to deny that label was hurtful. But I’m proud of you because despite all the tough times you’ve gone through recently I feel like you’re finally embracing the idea that you’re not a size 12 or 14, and you’re becoming more comfortable with just liking the fit of an item of clothing. I never unfollowed you but I think that after this video I can watch more of your content knowing that you’re being more authentic to your true self again. Keep not focusing too much on the number, because you’re beautiful regardless of if you’re a “true size 12” or not.
Alicia Garza I felt the same way! I just started watching her chanel again but I think she's still clinging onto 'mid size' when she's probably more plus size. Feels very confusing for a channel that's supposedly all about body positivity.
Her proportions seem to be pretty close to the way that clothes are cut, so I can see her wearing a smaller size. Loads of us can sympathize with wearing garments in larger (maybe even much larger) sizes to accommodate bellies, boobs, and/or butts that are bigger than what the sample size has.
I think the denim skirt is actually too small across the stomach and that is why it is bunching at the back. There isn't enough room for it to pull down all the way over your hips.
I would have to disagree. I dont see these bunches your referring to. However, i would say as this skirt probably shouldn't be loose around the waist so she would need to size down. A couple of wash she would need a belt and at these prices who paying for that. I personally wouldn't want to wear a skirt that fits loose on my behind. And for your concern about her struggling to get in and out of the skirt. Their this thing called a zipper and button. When you undo them, the item becomes looser making it easier for you to get in and out.
@@babycakez8070 Sierra helpfuly explains and shows where it is bunching up "Where the fabric is bunching up here". The skirt is looser on that area because it is meant to be pulled down to be flat but there's not room to do so. Sizing down would make the problem worse, when she pulled it to the side she has enough room that the skirt isn't pushing into her or making an indent but sizing down will absolutely give her a muffin top. I don't see what comment you're replying to about zippers but she has a friend who deletes comments deemed critical so maybe it is deleted now.
Video IDEA: try to tailor yourself all the clothes that fits you too loose, learning how to tailor your clothes is one of the best way to make everyhtin look flattering on you
How different are people’s preferences and likes, I literally hate these jeans 🤣 The details at the pockets, color, fit, lighter accents in the middle...
Those jeans look like they'll become too loose after a few hours of wear eeek I hope it doesn't happen to those because they are cute, but I've had so many do that.
Elizabeth Cassidy that happens to me too .. I try on denim shorts in like a 12/ my size and then it would fit... few wears later I’m constantly pulling them up 😂
Cassidy Thibault I’ve noticed I have better luck with the American eagle curvy line! If I buy old navy, I size down because I know it may be a tiny snug in the dressing room but it’ll fit perfectly after a couple wears! Those are basically the only brand of jeans I buy lol
They will! I worked at Anthro for 2 years and we were told that if people were between sizes, especially in pilcro, they should size down because they’ll end up stretching about a half size as you wear them. I personally never bought a pair of their jeans because I don’t like stretch denim but I have a skirt of theirs that I love!
Yess! it's such a nice counter-influence compared to all the ''home workouts!! finally get in shape during quarantine!!' posts that have flooded social media over the past few weeks (obviously working out is good for you and Sierra still advocates a healthy, active lifestyle, but the focus on appearance and losing weight can be toxic)
If she feels like it would be more comfortable for her at a different size than why does it matter. Mind your business you’re not the one wearing the skirt
“Friendly reminder, you don’t need to change your body sometimes you just need to change your pants!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 My grandma use to call my nephew’s diaper/pull up’s “pants”. She’d say “okay cooper let’s go change your pants so you can go.” 🤣🤣 Thank you for bringing a smile to my face. I’ve really been missing her today. ❤️
The dress is definitely not shapeless. That's an A line silhouette which looks amazing on pretty much any body type as it tends to give an hourglass shape to most body types. If I tried on the dress and it fit like it did on you, I'd probably size up for the extra room in the chest, and because it's an a-line style, it would still be flattering, even if it was a little big elsewhere. I would love to see you have a dress haul, as I am a mid-size girl like you, and dresses tend to be my go-to, as I feel confident and beautiful in them, and I think you would be fun to see you try on styles you don't often wear. :)
Eliana S I’m 5’4 and I consider myself average and I’d consider her average too, I think anything under 5’3 may be considered short. But it’s annoying cause Ik girls like her that say they are short like that because they think being short is a personality trait
Yeah. I was wondering if she keeps saying she can shop in regular and plus size based on truly having her measurements fall in between them or if she just goes based on what size she thinks she is.
Can you do a video about going based off the companies measurements to your measurements and seeing if they fit you? I always try to go based off of measurements when buying offline but I feel like I’m always jipped
Lol. As a 5'11 woman, when the length is great for you, I know it's absolutely not going to work for me. Lol, so when you're happy about the fit, I am not. I'm happy the clothes fit some one though, because it feels ridiculous when I try things on sometimes. 😂
am i the only one who doesn’t understand why clothing companies need a “plus line” like why can’t they just carry a wide range of sizes in all of their clothing
Taylor Parry When garments are designed to be sold off the rack, the initial pattern is made in a middle size and then graded to cover different sizes. However, grading only works so far before it distorts the pattern and doesn’t work anymore. So if you want to make a style in say sizes 0-24w, you need at least 2 initial patterns, which in practice means that you are still manufacturing 2 different garments, one straight size and one plus. Anthropologie have some styles in both as does say modcloth and some “size inclusive” retailers, but if you look carefully at the details and proportions you’ll notice they are different designs with a very similar concept. Often one of them (usually the plus version lets be real) isn’t as attractive as the other, because the design wasn’t conceived for those proportions. I want many designs that I see in straight size too, but it actually does make sense to just design really great clothes for plus size separately from straight size.
The shape and curves of a plus-sized body differ from a so-called standard-sized body. Just making the same pattern larger is rarely successful. Women tend to put on weight in different places: boobs, butt, tummy, legs, arms... and it varies. As someone who sews, I learned early on in trying to adjust a pattern that wasn’t large enough that simply adding 2” or whatever to the pattern width didn’t work. But, that is what a lot of companies do when they try to offer the same product in sizes 0-24. The end result is it fits great on a size 10 but needs tailoring to have the same success on a 22. Even when I was a “standard size”, like Sierra I struggled with anything button front because of the boobs and button placement. Bottom line, as Tim Gunn has said, the fashion industry designs and styles for a size 2, while the average American woman is a 16-18 who wears a 38D or 38DD bra, and most designers don’t want to see their designs on a curvy, “average” figure.
Plus size originally was called women’s and it was for women with shape to them. Then it changed to plus sizes for overweight people because there was a need for that and it is more expensive to make. It’s not just standard sizes with hip and boob room. It’s room everywhere. As we have gotten heavier as a population things had to changed. It used to be juniors, ladies, and womens. Which is still how it is labeled in some stores but instead of women’s having a 0-24 it has 14-24 in most stores because it’s the new plus size
hi i have a question because i’ve been told that anthropology would be a good field for me to go into or whatever. anyway, what do you do on a day to day basis? and what do you like about anthropology? and just any other stuff you think would be good for a person considering becoming an anthropologist to know? sorry if i’m bothering you i just don’t know any anthropologists
32 is a US 14 and usually the largest size in most standard lines. Edited to add- citizens jeans runs small imo and if she wanted to really compare she probably should have went with a standard size jean in the same brand as the plus vs trying a different brand that is also sold there.
i'm a size 10 and almost every size chart I have ever seen on websites put a size 10 as a 30. 32s are big on me and usually equate to a 14 or 16; just goes to show that sizes are not universal per body type and proportions. Also, she said that she falls right in between the two (plus and standard) and plus usually starts at 14/16 so the 16 was probably the smallest she could get in the plus size, and she wanted to compare the two departments.
sierra that first pair of jeans is SO cute on you! boyfriend/mom cut jeans are so hit or miss (either you look super cool girl effortless or like a shapeless gremlin, there is no in between) so when you find a pair you love don't feel bad about spending a bit extra on them
The prices are super jarring, but I can attest to the fact that Anthropologie pieces are the highest quality clothing pieces I own. BUT I only buy maybe 1 or 2 pieces a year, because of the price lol
Before Stephen said anything about the dress at the end, I'm sitting here talking to my tablet (as if anyone can hear me),like "but that's so cute on you why don't you just unbutton it and put a top underneath". I was so happy when he said that! Glad you're keeping it because it really does look great on you, and I think you're right about the yellow top,tucked in it looks so good and kinda unique. You're absolutely gorgeous in anything tho,sounds cliche but truly beautiful inside and out 💜
former anthropologie associate here - I wanted to let you know that Pilcro (is amazing) but can also have the tendency to stretch out so don’t be surprised if you end up needing to belt them in the future! ❤️ they r still my fav pants but just don’t be surprised if that happens!
Yes! I’m 4’11”. Sometimes crop length makes a nice regular length for me, but pretty much for all jeans and overalls I cut them to my length and let the ends fray. I love that look anyway. I guess if fraying goes outta style I’ll be screwed 🙂
@@ZombieGoddessxi It could be, but I really feel like she could make it work...It was like that in her old place too and there was a lot of room in that space.
I love you SO much, and I’m not here to drag, but when trying on the clothes the lighting is much more dull compared to when you’re talking about the clothes in front of the brick wall. Your audio also changes. The quality goes down a lot when you’re trying clothes on, it starts to sound empty. And if you could, when trying on clothes, could you show your entire body? It’s hard to really get the idea of some of the outfits. Again I’m not dragging I LOVE you so much I just wanna offer some kind feedback. 💗
I'm sure someone has already said this, but each brand will have their own sizing! it makes anthro super complicated to find your fit, but it's just because they carry different brands. that's why some come in plus sizes and some do not! former anthro employee here
Anthropology is my ALL TIME favorite store!! Yes, they’re a bit expensive but they often have 50% off their sale items and you can end up getting a steal on a lot of great pieces! I can say that I find a lot of their plus size items to run very large so you have to be careful on which brands you’re purchasing. I actually just got that last dress from my hubby as a bday gift, and absolutely love it!! Love that you did a review on my favorite store!
You should be critical and have higher standards for things that are higher priced. With a higher price point should come quality and it should not be in the fast fashion category. To be honest the clothing you featured seems to be the same quality as forever 21 or H&M which are cheap places to shop that promote fast fashion
Sarah I resell on poshmark, free people and anthro are my favorites. Of course there are hits and misses like any other brand but for the most part the quality is outstanding! She chose more of the basic stuff they sell. They have so many unique beautiful pieces
@@Sarah-lj1fy their parent company is urban outfitters so Its definetly fast fashion. Check the 'good on you' app to see (spoiler: basically all high street is fast fashion, even if they claim not to be)
"We love a man who solves all my problems." 😂 Stephen for the WIN. That dress is so cute! And also, that yellow shirt is not usually my style at all, but it is ridiculously perfect on you, especially with those jeans. Love it and love your channel!
Oh man, the jumpsuit was so perfect... and the pocket would have been a super easy fix with a needle and thread that would probably take like 10 minutes... I was sad when I heard you returned it, but I guess if you wouldn’t wear it often it doesn’t make sense to spend so much
I'm a little confused by the jean size comparison choice, maybe someone could explain. Designer jeans tend to size by your waist in inches of your circumference. At a solid size 6, I usually end up getting a size 30 for designer jeans (specifically, I have had Citizens of Humanity jeans). This seems a bit of an unfair size comparison if the other size was a 16w. I love the videos, the sizing comparison was just confusing to me.
she wanted to compare the difference with the biggest size in standard and the smallest in plus size, if i understood right :) atleast what i checked on the website those are the sizes.. so there is no sizes in between those two.. ( also different styles so not as comparable but kinda shows a point)
btw also just took my measurements for fun and actually i fall inbetween sizes in the pilcro jeans (it has both standard and plus) might veryveery snuggly fit in the biggest standard and in plus would be way too loose
Leenulainen oh my gosh, I completely missed that! That clears up my confusion! Face -> Palm! I thought she was going for equivalency of sizes and missed that she rather chose the biggest size available in standard, that makes so much more sense. Yikes to Anthropologie though, they're missing a bunch of sizes!!!!
You should do a reviewing handmade items from Etsy & Instagram. I love spending the extra money to get something not a lot of people have. And support people’s dreams and art is amazing too 🤟🏻🤟🏻
I love that this channel is moving towards ethical and sustainable fashion! Considering cost per wear is a great way to think about your clothes. I hope to see more sustainable clothing practices here ☺️
@@elizabeth_preza I'm referring to how we think about our clothes, not the brands. Cost per wear is a great start to changing the way we think about our clothes and consumption.
I'm almost 53. I fall between a plus size and standard size. I'm only 5'1, so I understand how hard it is to find clothes for my body. I have an hour glass shape, but I am stocky. I appreciate what you said about finding clothes to fit my body and not try to change my body. These are not messages that were stated to me at when I was younger. Thank you for your channel. I think of your positivity when I shop for clothes. I wish I would have had body positivity in my youth. Your positivity has helped me as a woman. You are an inspiration and are an amazing young lady! ❤️. Keep doing you! I will recommend your channel to my great nieces and any young woman I know! Even older ones like me! LOL 🙃😁🙂
I just wanted to let you know how much I truly enjoy your reviews and everything you stand for with body positivity ❤ I've always been a small girl but now that I'm an adult, out of school, and everything that used to keep me so active I've gained a bunch of weight. At first I absolutely hated it, I didn't even recognize myself in the mirror or feel like me because for a long as I can remember I've been small. But you reminding me to be kind to myself and to love my adult body, and my amazing boyfriend doing the same, I've finally started to. I love you and appreciate your words and hard work ❤
As an in between lady like you, I honestly loved this video. Finding clothes that fit me is such a struggle because I rarely fit into the regular line and the plus size clothes are too big, and that’s with every brand. I would honestly love to have more videos like this 🥺
I understand why you wouldn't but have you, or have you considered posting your measurements? I think I'm similar to your size, but 5'8" with maybe an even bigger bust. I wear bralettes but the last time I bought a real bra I was a 38DD. I'm constantly right in the middle when it comes to sizes. For Torrid I have to order a 2 in bralette size but any of their dresses I have to get in a 00 because of my figure.... I think watching you might actually help me find stuff that actually fits me?
SIERRA!! I absolutely loved you in those shorts, I’m sad you aren’t keeping them cause they would look so cute with the dog shirt. Either way I was shocked by their sizing, not too shabby but the prices AHHHH!! 😱 I’m a girl on a budget. But love your videos and been loving the vlogs, You and Stephen are so adorable!!! ❤️

The jumpsuit is amazing on you! I get what you're saying though about the no pockets. Ugh why must we fight so hard for pockets?
thanks for all the links
Don't know if it's of any help, but Rhys is actually pronounced the same as Reece (as in Reece Witherspoon). Hope that helps... xx
To avoid the boob gap you can you a tiny bit of fashion tape! Easy and effective ;)
The outfit that Stephen likes- the green shorts and white top, was SO flattering on you! Everything from the fit and the color palette. It made you really pop!
ikr? especially the top was so so cute on her
I love the white top and the green shorts.
Emily Ann totally agree! Was going to post the same comment when I saw yours😂😊
So cute! I didn’t think the shorts look too tight at all! Looks great!
@In Dreams what?
FACT: having a supportive partner that thinks you look good in everything is THE BEST. My bf says stuff like that to me too all the time Sierra. Even if I hate the outfit. 😅
Same! I'm midsize and my boyfriend compliments me in every outfit I wear. Its the sweetest, especially if you're having a bad body day!
I peronally like when my s/o is honest and tells me if something doesn't look flattering on me
@@Al42069 same. My boyfriend ALWAYS says "no babe you look beautiful!" If I ever ask about something regarding my clothes/makeup/hair. And I'd much rather him just tell me if I look like a damn clown, cuz I GUARANTEE I could do my makeup with no mirrors, in the pitch black, in 10min, and my bf would still say "babe you look beautiful!". He was willing to go out in public with me wearing one pink eye& one blue eye a few weeks ago when I was playing in makeup and he didnt know I was gonna take it off before we left😒😒😒
@@Al42069 I honestly believe my boyfriend doesn't know any better, lol
Sierra: I’m like a BOHO bat
Safiya Nyygard has entered the chat
axoria not stolen just similar ideas as someone else
It is like you read my mind. Although it would fit her personality better if the shirt was black.
Morgan Absher she sounds just like Safiya Nyygard
Don't expect Sierra to ever acknowledge Safiya... I do really like Sierra but she copies a LOT of Safs ideas and never credits her
CatEyes1993 so, so weird
$158?!?!?! AND it has a hole?! ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! If they are charging THAT much, they need to hand inspect EVERY product before it ships. That's ridiculous!
Sierra, I love you, but could you please show the whole outfit when trying it on? It would be so much better for reference if you didn't crop the screen by your calves, especially with pants and long skirts...
i think she can’t back up enough/ zoom out enough to fit her whole body in screen
Also a close-up of the fabric would be great👍🏼
@@emmaray1567 she could if she wanted to
Ilka .Waffy if her screen doesn’t zoom out that far then how tf can she do it if she wants to
@@IlkaWaffy she really cant tho?
Okay that yellow boho shirt that she called a “bat” shirt tucked in is everything 💛
I 100% agree!!!
It looks great on her
Agreed! and now they're sold out online :(
AGREE
Taylor Chapman I was going to comment the same thing 😍😍
Every time Stephen compliments Sierra it’s like the sweetest thing ever. It’s nice to see an actually healthy relationship in a TH-cam video
Thea W they’re sooooo cute🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Oooof calling out how some you tubers be 😂
sierra lifting her foot to show her cuffed jeans is the cutest thing
Ruxandra Dorobantu She did that just as I read this 😂
Ruxandra Dorobantu it is 🥺🥺
16W in anthropologie is a 37.5 inch waist guys. 37.5 inch. Hell if the 32 fits.
@@katieg5865 The real question is, why did this brand think it was okay to skip out 33-37. Because she got the larger in the standard and a xl in the plus. I mean I'm from the UK, so may you guys measure things different out there. But I would assume there a people that fit the sizes inbetween those sizes
Citizens is also a contemporary brand and 32 is more of a 10/12 than a 14.
@@babycakez8070 Its literally to do with grading. It cost the company a ton of money to to offer a full range of sizes as each pattern that can only fit say 4 - 5 sizes properly. You have to make a whole new pattern every time you go up a size range or they don't fit nicely. You can't just grab a size 8 pattern and add on extra inches to get to plus size, the arms would be too long and the necklines too wide, and the whole outfit uuuugly. Same with petite sizing, they don't just chop off the legs and call it a day, everything has to be completely redesigned from scratch to get it to fit that market how they expect. Basically companies have to redesign from scratch every time the sizes go up 5 sizes and keep production lines separate, meaning more cost and tracking to manage it all. It sounds like they are trying to save a buck but its actually true that its easier and cheaper for companies to offer completely separate ranges for different sizes with gaps in the middle. They could fill in those gaps but the prices of clothes would skyrocket as the patterning and production costs can't be duplicated, they have to start again every group of sizes.
I know this is about the clothes but oh my God when Stephen said, "its that smile I really like" after just telling you you're beautiful it melted my freaking heart!!❤
don’t take the Lord’s name in vein!
@@oliviagrace6914 lol you’re over here harassing someone else about their words and you can’t even spell the word VAIN. It’s not vein.
I think it would be nice if you did a 'sit down' test to the clothes in the try-ons. Sometimes clothes feel great when you're standing up, but can feel like they're cutting into you when you sit down. :)
"I kind of like feeling like a bat!"
*safiya nygaard has entered the chat*
Anyone els think Safiya and Sierra would totally get along?
that's what I was thinking too!
I thought that too!
@@piratequeend5345 saf and sierra would make such a cute collab!!
@@piratequeend5345 I was thinking this today too!!
Just an idea, I feel like it would be cool for you to do a deep dive on tailoring your clothes. A lot of people recommend getting their staples tailored such as jeans but I’ve always wondered if it’s worth the price and time. Also, I know some people who thrift things like jeans and get it tailored. Obviously post quarantine idea.
Great idea! :)
For me with jeans I wear through them so easily I don't think I could ever feel like its worth it to get them tailored, I would get a top tailored though (I have actually bought and self-tailored a few tops for myself)
i would love a video about a plus size tailoring experience!
It'd be really cool if Sierra could try tailoring her own clothes as well! My mom used to hem my pants all the time when I was little, and she claims that it isn't that difficult... but I don't have the same sewing experience as her and I'm not sure if it's just better to spend the money at a tailor's for a more professional experience, or if you can get a good result if you tailor something yourself.
It's definitely worth it, I get a lot of my clothes tailored. I don't see the point in wearing ill-fitting clothing, and since I have wide hips and a small waist I don't have much of a choice, especially when it comes to pants. It's a great option for thrifting too. But I recommend it only for higher quality items or else it's a waste of money. Also, it depends on how much tailoring is needed -- standard alternations are usually fairly affordable, but anything more advanced than that might not be worth it, unless it's vintage couture or something.
I wish they would have had plus size models, model the plus sized clothes for better reference (online shopping viewing wise)
I wish she would've done the plus size vs the standard size of the same items for a better comparison
They probably don't carry the same items in both size ranges.
They do carry some styles in both size ranges
Me toooo but omg her wallet
I was literally like “I would just unbutton the green shirt dress and put a cami under it” and then Stephen swooped in lol 😂
The jumpsuit is adorable but does not look Luxurious or high quality which is what I expected that price point. I’m sure with two minutes of searching online something so similar could be found at a fraction of the price. How about a video on anthropology knock off clothing for plus sizes?
The only issue is sometimes, those cheaper options are Fast Fashion and very poorly made...
zenofwater linen usually comes out of the package a bit wrinkly, so I bet with a good steaming or a gentle toss in the dryer it should be fine (still doesn’t excuse the pocket, though)... also the fast fashion thing the person above me said.
I would recommend getting anthro second hand on poshmark!
What I didn't like is that for that price I would expect pattern matching, and they didn't even attempt to do so. It wouldn't even have been a tough pattern to do it on! Also didn't like how the colour stripes were vertical on the ruched top but horizontal on the bottoms. Loved the colours though!
It's actually really good quality, I've felt it in person. And linen is a great spring and summer fabric so I would consider it high quality
Solution to the button pull: Add a safety pin between the buttons. Avoid threading it through the top layer of fabric so it stays hidden. Or add a couple stitches to keep it laying flat. I often add safety pins and minor tayloring to my clothes to make them fit perfectly.
The things you say are shapeless on you, I personally think look the best. Not everything needs to be tight to be flattering 🤷🏻♀️
Some people just don’t like shapeless clothing tho, and it’s not about what you think looks good it’s what about her likes and feels comfortable in...
lol she doesn't say that. she has issues with things being too large and shapeless. the combination is bad. shapeless in general is ok.
Actually it does. If that’s what someone prefers.
The plus size version is probably cut curvier in the dress. You could exchange.
I actually think that yellow blouse with those jeans looks really flatering on you!
Sierra: the denim skirt looked really good on you. I would suggest taking it to a tailor and getting the waist taken in, instead of going down a size.
Diane S plus is not an option to size down since it was a plus size exclusive and they start at 16W , but totally agree with you the skirt looked great on her
I wish when you modelled the clothes we could see more of the bottoms of the outfit!
I like everything you kept, but what’s the big deal with just sizing up one size in the last dress so you can wear it without something under it? 🤷🏻♀️
Yes! Same thought. What happens after the first time you wash that dress? Let us know, Sierra, if it's then to small.
I agree but maybe for the sake of the video, or possibly the price goes up if she sizes up to the smallest of the plus size. Just a thought
Maybe it wasn’t available in a larger size. It was an XL
That's what I was thinking. Size up.
rlavelleSLP I feel like if she sized up then it would’ve been a lot looser on her waist and not wouldn’t have tailored in as nicely, because it fit great everywhere else
I’m digging the “bat” blouse on you. It’s a more mature look than you typically wear but it suits you while still looking youthful and flattering, especially with the jeans you changed into!
The denim skirt didn’t look too big. That and the puppy shirt was my favourite outfit on you.
I would size down personally if I was her. Esspecially with that stretchy/spandex material it loosens up with wear which I why I always buy my stretchy jeans super tight cause then they stretch out to perfection 👌🏽
To be honest, everything kinda looked like you got it at a thrift store. There's nothing wrong with that of course (heck, I can't afford anything other than thrift store clothing or cheap fast fashion), but since everything was so expensive, that stood out to me quite a bit. Nothing really looked like it was worth the price you payed for it.
Anyway, I still enjoyed the video. Love you, Sierra! c;
I thought the same but I guess that's the style? Lol. Epically the first green shirt.
@@shannon7276 Yes, the first outfit looks exactly like something I'd wear (especially the jeans) and let me tell you: I do not own a single piece of expensive clothing 😂
i love anthro and from shopping here often, sierra picked more of the simple and basic items. there are definitely more items that do not look like "thrift" store items, especially some of the dresses!
They're cute and fit Sierra's style, but yeah, I could never justify the price point. I shop at torrid a lot and even think their non-sale prices are over the top. My mom sees, so I see how much good quality fabric costs when you're not getting a wholesale price on it. I just don't see a justification for the price point. And the jumpsuit having a defect? Yeah, I'm sorry, I may be able to excuse something I grabbed at Walmart or Target for having a defect. But if you're charging $158 for a sleeveless jumpsuit ya better be quality checking every piece that goes out the door
Yeah no disrespect to Sierra.. love her. But that first outfit was not my favorite at all. I actually did not enjoy the fit of those jeans at all.
baffling to buy jeans in a 16 (with a 38" waist according to the size chart) and even bother to buy another pair of jeans with a 32" waist. understanding and looking at size charts for each brand you buy from is important for finding clothes that will fit! sorry to dunk on you a bit, I love your content overall and it's great to see someone with a similar body to me making fashion videos!
You misunderstand. The size is 32, not the actual measurement. The site says that this pant in a 32 is equivalent to a 14. It's also their largest size in standard. She CLEARLY stated she tried the largest in standard and the smallest in plus. It was the entire point of the video to show women built like her, you know in the middle sizes, that we can many times enjoy shopping in both areas!
@@jewlzt7331 When jeans are sized by numbers that range from around 24 to 40+ or so, they are sized by waist measurement. While Anthropologie may have a general size chart, they carry independent brands that each have their own size charts to look at ("standardized sizing" is a myth, brands are under no obligation to match their sizing and grading to any other brand, as such there is no such thing as a "true size 14" or any other "true" size). Besides, the general Anthropologie size chart does say a 12/14 has a 31.5 to 33 inch waist, making the size 32 perfectly fit that size range.
@@morganp2336 If you actually measure the waist size on a pair of "size XY" jeans, you'll find that they're often 1-3 inches larger than the numbered size (even in men's jeans - Target is a big offender). So someone who is usually fits size 32 jeans may actually measure 33-35 inches at their waist. You can buy four size 32 jeans from four different brands and get different fits, just as you would with size 12/14s. Vanity sizing just creates headaches all around, and numbered sizing hasn't escaped it.
@@morganp2336 The real question is, why did this brand/designers think it was okay to skip out 33-37. Cos that a big jump from 32" to 38". We should be demanding more consistent sizing across all brands. Instead of call out others for not fitting in clothes size they say they are. The problem is, brands move sizing around to accommodate for the people they think will shop their product or ideal audience. Then on top of that they're allowed their margins for error. These methods have resulted in pleasing some customers and upsetting other.
@@babycakez8070 Hi, I can answer this! It's the fact that the jeans are from two different brands. If a "straight size" brand only goes up to a 32" waist, that's on that brand. If another brand goes to a size 16 and up, that's that brand's choice. If they were from a single brand, it's highly unlikely the brand would skip so many sizes in the middle of its range.
And I'm actually going to defend limited sizing, in some capacities. Making clothes in sizes much bigger or smaller than sample size is difficult, and costs a lot of money. To "grade" patterns (aka size them up and down) you can't just add an extra few inches to each dimension. You have to guess how the "average" body changes between each size, which is a lot of effort, and can have a lot of discrepencies between brands as there is no true average human, but pattern graders still have to try their best to make clothes fit a wide variety of sizes. I find a limited size range acceptable in independent brands, as they are working with much less money and much smaller profits. I am a size 12 to 14 in most brands, and am thus sized out of a lot of brands I adore! However, if a brand is large enough to be sold at Anthropologie, I'd expect they make enough money to have expansive size ranges, yet choose not to because they hate fat people.
Also, while every brand is sized differently, it's pretty crazy to order something with a certain maximum waist indicated on a size chart under the assumption it runs larger. Even within "vanity sizing" (a myth as there is no standardized sizing between brands) size charts for a brand should pretty decently reflect the actual size of the clothes. That mean an abstract size like a 4 could mean anything, but the size chart will define it. A concrete size like a 32 should reflect a 32" inch waist, because it is literally sized by measurement. It could theoretically have any hip measurement or inseam, but if the waist isn't 32 or close to it, the brand is majorly at fault.
Thank you for coming to my fashion student TED Talk lol
14:38
Not trying to nit pick, but saying they run small is kind of misleading?? The first pair was in a 16, which is equal to a 38" not a 32"?
Still love you (obviously), I just hope you aren't telling yourself you should fit in jeans a few sizes too small!
Fluffy popcorn 16 is equal to 33, and 14 is equal to 32.
Angie Mojica Not true!
Brianna Dillon I’m talking about bottom sizes and dress sizes. Not actual waist measurements. I worked in retail for five years.
@@angiemojica5199 I just looked up a conversion chart online- please do correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure 32" is closer to a 10 or 12
liza belle Again, that’s waist measurements. If we’re talking about sizes, 30 would be a 10 and 31 would be a 12.
Sierra, I know you probably won’t see this comment but I’m so proud of you. I know you’ve been going through tough times. For awhile I had to avoid your channel because it made me upset- it felt like you were trying to shake off the “plus size” label and trying so hard to cling onto the idea that you were a true size 12 despite the fact that you were gaining weight. It felt tough to watch those videos because you truly are one of the only youtubers I relied on to feel comfortable being in a bigger size, but to watch you try to deny that label was hurtful. But I’m proud of you because despite all the tough times you’ve gone through recently I feel like you’re finally embracing the idea that you’re not a size 12 or 14, and you’re becoming more comfortable with just liking the fit of an item of clothing. I never unfollowed you but I think that after this video I can watch more of your content knowing that you’re being more authentic to your true self again. Keep not focusing too much on the number, because you’re beautiful regardless of if you’re a “true size 12” or not.
Alicia Garza I felt the same way! I just started watching her chanel again but I think she's still clinging onto 'mid size' when she's probably more plus size. Feels very confusing for a channel that's supposedly all about body positivity.
You guys aren't in her body so you don't know what size she is from looking at her that's ignorant af
Her proportions seem to be pretty close to the way that clothes are cut, so I can see her wearing a smaller size. Loads of us can sympathize with wearing garments in larger (maybe even much larger) sizes to accommodate bellies, boobs, and/or butts that are bigger than what the sample size has.
“Why don’t you just unbutton it” “because I can’t” *unbuttons* “oh.” 😂😂
I think the denim skirt is actually too small across the stomach and that is why it is bunching at the back. There isn't enough room for it to pull down all the way over your hips.
Soo true! If she sized up it wouldn't bunch like that.
I would have to disagree. I dont see these bunches your referring to. However, i would say as this skirt probably shouldn't be loose around the waist so she would need to size down. A couple of wash she would need a belt and at these prices who paying for that. I personally wouldn't want to wear a skirt that fits loose on my behind.
And for your concern about her struggling to get in and out of the skirt. Their this thing called a zipper and button. When you undo them, the item becomes looser making it easier for you to get in and out.
@@babycakez8070 Sierra helpfuly explains and shows where it is bunching up "Where the fabric is bunching up here". The skirt is looser on that area because it is meant to be pulled down to be flat but there's not room to do so. Sizing down would make the problem worse, when she pulled it to the side she has enough room that the skirt isn't pushing into her or making an indent but sizing down will absolutely give her a muffin top. I don't see what comment you're replying to about zippers but she has a friend who deletes comments deemed critical so maybe it is deleted now.
@@babycakez8070 lol I wasn't talking about how she would take it off, but ya thank you for explaining how zippers work.
Video IDEA: try to tailor yourself all the clothes that fits you too loose, learning how to tailor your clothes is one of the best way to make everyhtin look flattering on you
Julissa DC yes
Skylar said on the podcast yesterday that she likes to tailor as a hobby... “my best friend tailors my clothes” ?? :)
How different are people’s preferences and likes, I literally hate these jeans 🤣 The details at the pockets, color, fit, lighter accents in the middle...
same hahahah but if she likes it its all that matters
When she said “friendly reminder, that you don’t need to change your body sometimes you just need to change your pants” I felt that 😂❤️
It would be great if you showed full body shots of the clothes.. it would really help and put things into perspective!!
WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT HOW STEVEN IS SO CUTE!! THE SMILE THO
Those jeans look like they'll become too loose after a few hours of wear eeek I hope it doesn't happen to those because they are cute, but I've had so many do that.
Elizabeth Cassidy that happens to me too .. I try on denim shorts in like a 12/ my size and then it would fit... few wears later I’m constantly pulling them up 😂
I wear Anthro brands Jeans. The different brands have never stretched out. It’s worth the extra cost.
Cassidy Thibault I’ve noticed I have better luck with the American eagle curvy line! If I buy old navy, I size down because I know it may be a tiny snug in the dressing room but it’ll fit perfectly after a couple wears! Those are basically the only brand of jeans I buy lol
They will! I worked at Anthro for 2 years and we were told that if people were between sizes, especially in pilcro, they should size down because they’ll end up stretching about a half size as you wear them. I personally never bought a pair of their jeans because I don’t like stretch denim but I have a skirt of theirs that I love!
Yeah even if she said they fit perfectly they looked a little big to me and in time they will only stretch more!
as someone who only buys thrifted, these prices HURT!!! can’t imagine spending that much
It hurts most people budget I wouldn't even spend 120 on a nice dress
Girl the average height of a woman in the US is 5’4.... your actually taller than average... haha not short
Niki Rose right?! I’m barely 5 foot so when I hear women 5’4 + say they’re short I’m like......no.

@@Everdinaaa how can losing weight be toxic? Its for the purpose of becoming healthier?
That skirt fits you fine. Sizing down would make it to tight.
Yep. She had the back hiked up about an inch and a half higher than the front. I honestly wish she could just admit she's plus sized and move on.
Corisu yep
If she feels like it would be more comfortable for her at a different size than why does it matter. Mind your business you’re not the one wearing the skirt
Guys she knows she plus size.. if she says it doesn’t fit u can’t tell her she’s wrong
Hannah Devorah she thinks she’s midsized just like Carrie dayton

“I could do the splits in this...if I could do the splits”
Me, af.
The dress is definitely not shapeless. That's an A line silhouette which looks amazing on pretty much any body type as it tends to give an hourglass shape to most body types. If I tried on the dress and it fit like it did on you, I'd probably size up for the extra room in the chest, and because it's an a-line style, it would still be flattering, even if it was a little big elsewhere. I would love to see you have a dress haul, as I am a mid-size girl like you, and dresses tend to be my go-to, as I feel confident and beautiful in them, and I think you would be fun to see you try on styles you don't often wear. :)
“Reminder: you dont need to change your body, sometimes you just need to change your pants” words to live by

😂😂😂
I did to😂
Saaaaaame. I was gunna buy it til she said "dog shirt."
Same
Same 💀
She always said she’s short, and so I thought she was 5’2’’ or something. 5’5” isn’t short!
5’5 is tall! Being Hispanic I feel tall because I’m 5’2 and all the other Hispanic girls at my job are like 4’11.
Eliana S I’m 5’4 and I consider myself average and I’d consider her average too, I think anything under 5’3 may be considered short. But it’s annoying cause Ik girls like her that say they are short like that because they think being short is a personality trait
Yes it is, in western countries, sorry to inform. We all feel like Amazons in Asia.
I wouldn't even say 5'2 is particularly short.
Anything more than 5’1 isn’t considered short for me😂 (I’m 4’9)
Not sure if I missed it, but I think in these videos, it’d be helpful to know your measurements. Love your videos!
PS agree :)
Yeah. I was wondering if she keeps saying she can shop in regular and plus size based on truly having her measurements fall in between them or if she just goes based on what size she thinks she is.
LIVING FOR THAT JUMPSUIT MOMENT (Lol minus the pocket) but you look so cute!!!!!!
PS: OMG! THE JEANS ARE ON SUPER SALE!!!! (yes, your rave review sent me over the edge haha)
Can you do a video about going based off the companies measurements to your measurements and seeing if they fit you? I always try to go based off of measurements when buying offline but I feel like I’m always jipped
*Love when Sierra does these videos!! Can we talk about how she looks good in everything!*
That denim skirt looked perfect. It didn't look too big. It looked good
You should do a whole outfit out of clothing and accessories that are named Sierra
haley c Yesssss! I need this in my life.
Molly Burke did a video styling an entire outfit with pieces with her name! The jumpsuit reminded me. That would be so fun!
anthropology clothing is just the bougie version of old navy
YES. Same clothes I swear
It’s not even boujee it’s just overpriced
Hot take
True
If you just want basics, maybe. But they have items that are so much more fashionable than Old Navy.

Lol. As a 5'11 woman, when the length is great for you, I know it's absolutely not going to work for me. Lol, so when you're happy about the fit, I am not. I'm happy the clothes fit some one though, because it feels ridiculous when I try things on sometimes. 😂
I am a 4’12 woman myself i have the same issues with length but always being too long and then fitting off in every other place.
Yeah when she mentioned the jumpsuit, I was like hmmm those'll be capris or cut off at some weird point on my leg for me then 😂
As a fellow 5'11, I feel this lol
My 5'11" self feels this.
am i the only one who doesn’t understand why clothing companies need a “plus line” like why can’t they just carry a wide range of sizes in all of their clothing
Taylor Parry When garments are designed to be sold off the rack, the initial pattern is made in a middle size and then graded to cover different sizes. However, grading only works so far before it distorts the pattern and doesn’t work anymore. So if you want to make a style in say sizes 0-24w, you need at least 2 initial patterns, which in practice means that you are still manufacturing 2 different garments, one straight size and one plus. Anthropologie have some styles in both as does say modcloth and some “size inclusive” retailers, but if you look carefully at the details and proportions you’ll notice they are different designs with a very similar concept. Often one of them (usually the plus version lets be real) isn’t as attractive as the other, because the design wasn’t conceived for those proportions. I want many designs that I see in straight size too, but it actually does make sense to just design really great clothes for plus size separately from straight size.
The shape and curves of a plus-sized body differ from a so-called standard-sized body. Just making the same pattern larger is rarely successful. Women tend to put on weight in different places: boobs, butt, tummy, legs, arms... and it varies. As someone who sews, I learned early on in trying to adjust a pattern that wasn’t large enough that simply adding 2” or whatever to the pattern width didn’t work. But, that is what a lot of companies do when they try to offer the same product in sizes 0-24. The end result is it fits great on a size 10 but needs tailoring to have the same success on a 22. Even when I was a “standard size”, like Sierra I struggled with anything button front because of the boobs and button placement. Bottom line, as Tim Gunn has said, the fashion industry designs and styles for a size 2, while the average American woman is a 16-18 who wears a 38D or 38DD bra, and most designers don’t want to see their designs on a curvy, “average” figure.
I totally agree! It has such a condescending tone sometimes.
It’s so they can charge more :/
Plus size originally was called women’s and it was for women with shape to them. Then it changed to plus sizes for overweight people because there was a need for that and it is more expensive to make. It’s not just standard sizes with hip and boob room. It’s room everywhere. As we have gotten heavier as a population things had to changed. It used to be juniors, ladies, and womens. Which is still how it is labeled in some stores but instead of women’s having a 0-24 it has 14-24 in most stores because it’s the new plus size
Me, an anthropologist: oh cool someone is going to talk about anthropology!
Me, *realizes it's also a fashion brand* : oh, that's cool too
Lotte_AvoidingMyShadow 😆 I got my bachelor’s in Anthropology (but not an anthropologist) and speak French, it amuses me when I shop there 😊
hi i have a question because i’ve been told that anthropology would be a good field for me to go into or whatever. anyway, what do you do on a day to day basis? and what do you like about anthropology? and just any other stuff you think would be good for a person considering becoming an anthropologist to know? sorry if i’m bothering you i just don’t know any anthropologists
I’m confused why you chose a 32 Jean size. That’s a 10/12, but you were getting a 16 in the plus.
Hannah Haley a lot of higher end jeans do their sizing by waist, like men’s jeans.
I thought the same thing, I wear a 32 and I’m a size 10.
32 is a US 14 and usually the largest size in most standard lines. Edited to add- citizens jeans runs small imo and if she wanted to really compare she probably should have went with a standard size jean in the same brand as the plus vs trying a different brand that is also sold there.
i'm a size 10 and almost every size chart I have ever seen on websites put a size 10 as a 30. 32s are big on me and usually equate to a 14 or 16; just goes to show that sizes are not universal per body type and proportions. Also, she said that she falls right in between the two (plus and standard) and plus usually starts at 14/16 so the 16 was probably the smallest she could get in the plus size, and she wanted to compare the two departments.
I'm a 32 across the board in jeans and a 12/14
sierra that first pair of jeans is SO cute on you! boyfriend/mom cut jeans are so hit or miss (either you look super cool girl effortless or like a shapeless gremlin, there is no in between) so when you find a pair you love don't feel bad about spending a bit extra on them
These price points are ridiculous for the quality.
The prices are super jarring, but I can attest to the fact that Anthropologie pieces are the highest quality clothing pieces I own. BUT I only buy maybe 1 or 2 pieces a year, because of the price lol
That’s what Boxing Day is for! 😂
Before Stephen said anything about the dress at the end, I'm sitting here talking to my tablet (as if anyone can hear me),like "but that's so cute on you why don't you just unbutton it and put a top underneath". I was so happy when he said that! Glad you're keeping it because it really does look great on you, and I think you're right about the yellow top,tucked in it looks so good and kinda unique. You're absolutely gorgeous in anything tho,sounds cliche but truly beautiful inside and out 💜
former anthropologie associate here - I wanted to let you know that Pilcro (is amazing) but can also have the tendency to stretch out so don’t be surprised if you end up needing to belt them in the future! ❤️ they r still my fav pants but just don’t be surprised if that happens!
when Sierra talked about the length of the jeans I was like "giiiirl you have no idea i'm 4'10 and extra short jeans drag on the floor for me"
Oh wow, that must be rough, but I’m 5”2 and I’m a size 4 so this is never an issue for me
I am also that height and also said the same thing hahaha 5 5' is talllll
Yes! I’m 4’11”. Sometimes crop length makes a nice regular length for me, but pretty much for all jeans and overalls I cut them to my length and let the ends fray. I love that look anyway. I guess if fraying goes outta style I’ll be screwed 🙂
I'm 5' and some times petite length pants/jeans can be to long.
Same! I'm 4'11 and a size 16 so it's a CONSTANT battle hahaha
"and of course there's the smile that I really really like" GOALS???
I don't understand why you have your camera adjusted to cut off at your shins...like I'd like to see the entire outfit...I don't get why you do that?
YES this bothers me too.
It might just be that that is the farthest back her camera can sit in her room.
@@ZombieGoddessxi I really doubt that. I like to film in a room smaller than her bathroom, and I fit just fine.
Julie Fortin plus don’t you see how much space is shown above her head, I’m sure if she lowers her camera a little you could see the whole thing
@@ZombieGoddessxi It could be, but I really feel like she could make it work...It was like that in her old place too and there was a lot of room in that space.
I love you SO much, and I’m not here to drag, but when trying on the clothes the lighting is much more dull compared to when you’re talking about the clothes in front of the brick wall. Your audio also changes. The quality goes down a lot when you’re trying clothes on, it starts to sound empty. And if you could, when trying on clothes, could you show your entire body? It’s hard to really get the idea of some of the outfits. Again I’m not dragging I LOVE you so much I just wanna offer some kind feedback. 💗
I'm sure someone has already said this, but each brand will have their own sizing! it makes anthro super complicated to find your fit, but it's just because they carry different brands. that's why some come in plus sizes and some do not! former anthro employee here
Sierra we love what you do so never
*STOP*
Thank you sierra ❤🥰😭
Why not just order the smock dress that you liked in the plus sized option? It might fit the girls a little less snug?
Anthropology is my ALL TIME favorite store!! Yes, they’re a bit expensive but they often have 50% off their sale items and you can end up getting a steal on a lot of great pieces! I can say that I find a lot of their plus size items to run very large so you have to be careful on which brands you’re purchasing. I actually just got that last dress from my hubby as a bday gift, and absolutely love it!! Love that you did a review on my favorite store!
The mustard yellow “bat wing” shirt tucked into the dark wash high waisted jeans is by far my FAVORITE outfit on you! 🥰
You should be critical and have higher standards for things that are higher priced. With a higher price point should come quality and it should not be in the fast fashion category. To be honest the clothing you featured seems to be the same quality as forever 21 or H&M which are cheap places to shop that promote fast fashion
zenofwater Do you know that to actually be true of Anthropologie (them to be fast fashion)?
Sarah I resell on poshmark, free people and anthro are my favorites. Of course there are hits and misses like any other brand but for the most part the quality is outstanding! She chose more of the basic stuff they sell. They have so many unique beautiful pieces
@@Sarah-lj1fy their parent company is urban outfitters so Its definetly fast fashion. Check the 'good on you' app to see (spoiler: basically all high street is fast fashion, even if they claim not to be)
“We love a man who solves all my problems” 😂😂😂 I loooove that dress
"We love a man who solves all my problems." 😂
Stephen for the WIN. That dress is so cute! And also, that yellow shirt is not usually my style at all, but it is ridiculously perfect on you, especially with those jeans. Love it and love your channel!
Oh man, the jumpsuit was so perfect... and the pocket would have been a super easy fix with a needle and thread that would probably take like 10 minutes... I was sad when I heard you returned it, but I guess if you wouldn’t wear it often it doesn’t make sense to spend so much
I'm a little confused by the jean size comparison choice, maybe someone could explain. Designer jeans tend to size by your waist in inches of your circumference. At a solid size 6, I usually end up getting a size 30 for designer jeans (specifically, I have had Citizens of Humanity jeans). This seems a bit of an unfair size comparison if the other size was a 16w. I love the videos, the sizing comparison was just confusing to me.
she wanted to compare the difference with the biggest size in standard and the smallest in plus size, if i understood right :) atleast what i checked on the website those are the sizes.. so there is no sizes in between those two.. ( also different styles so not as comparable but kinda shows a point)
btw also just took my measurements for fun and actually i fall inbetween sizes in the pilcro jeans (it has both standard and plus)
might veryveery snuggly fit in the biggest standard and in plus would be way too loose
Leenulainen oh my gosh, I completely missed that! That clears up my confusion! Face -> Palm! I thought she was going for equivalency of sizes and missed that she rather chose the biggest size available in standard, that makes so much more sense. Yikes to Anthropologie though, they're missing a bunch of sizes!!!!
I agree with you. Citizens size 32 is about a 12, not 14.
You should do a reviewing handmade items from Etsy & Instagram. I love spending the extra money to get something not a lot of people have. And support people’s dreams and art is amazing too 🤟🏻🤟🏻
you & stephen are so cute!! “of course it’s the smile that i do like” made my heart MELT 🥺
I love that this channel is moving towards ethical and sustainable fashion! Considering cost per wear is a great way to think about your clothes. I hope to see more sustainable clothing practices here ☺️
Anthropologie is not ethical or sustainable fashion.
@@elizabeth_preza I'm referring to how we think about our clothes, not the brands. Cost per wear is a great start to changing the way we think about our clothes and consumption.
I'm almost 53. I fall between a plus size and standard size. I'm only 5'1, so I understand how hard it is to find clothes for my body. I have an hour glass shape, but I am stocky. I appreciate what you said about finding clothes to fit my body and not try to change my body. These are not messages that were stated to me at when I was younger. Thank you for your channel. I think of your positivity when I shop for clothes. I wish I would have had body positivity in my youth. Your positivity has helped me as a woman. You are an inspiration and are an amazing young lady! ❤️. Keep doing you! I will recommend your channel to my great nieces and any young woman I know! Even older ones like me! LOL 🙃😁🙂
I just wanted to let you know how much I truly enjoy your reviews and everything you stand for with body positivity ❤ I've always been a small girl but now that I'm an adult, out of school, and everything that used to keep me so active I've gained a bunch of weight. At first I absolutely hated it, I didn't even recognize myself in the mirror or feel like me because for a long as I can remember I've been small. But you reminding me to be kind to myself and to love my adult body, and my amazing boyfriend doing the same, I've finally started to. I love you and appreciate your words and hard work ❤
We love when a vlog and main channel video come out on the same day *insert Sky’s “woo woo” *
Completely agree with Stephen: love the smile ❤️
"You don't need to change your body, you sometimes need to change your pants" mood
As an in between lady like you, I honestly loved this video. Finding clothes that fit me is such a struggle because I rarely fit into the regular line and the plus size clothes are too big, and that’s with every brand. I would honestly love to have more videos like this 🥺
I understand why you wouldn't but have you, or have you considered posting your measurements? I think I'm similar to your size, but 5'8" with maybe an even bigger bust. I wear bralettes but the last time I bought a real bra I was a 38DD. I'm constantly right in the middle when it comes to sizes. For Torrid I have to order a 2 in bralette size but any of their dresses I have to get in a 00 because of my figure.... I think watching you might actually help me find stuff that actually fits me?
I agree. It helps a lot with sizing and actually being able to shop the look when youtubers do that
Shannon Miller has a similar body to you and posts her measurements!
aw when stephen said “of course it’s your smile i like the most” 🥺🥺
Love when stephen pops in the main channel. His words to Sierra are so sweet! Love you guys!
tbh, u slay all outfits, i wish i was as confident as u r!!
the fit and shape of that jumpsuit on you is EVERYTHING!
"It's the smile that I really like." GOALS.
SIERRA!! I absolutely loved you in those shorts, I’m sad you aren’t keeping them cause they would look so cute with the dog shirt. Either way I was shocked by their sizing, not too shabby but the prices AHHHH!! 😱 I’m a girl on a budget. But love your videos and been loving the vlogs, You and Stephen are so adorable!!! ❤️
