The thing is, I don’t have a problem that Brandy caters to smaller people, it’s that they don’t advertise it like that, and just say “one size fits all”. Plus size stores advertise as a store for bigger women, while Brandy doesn’t and just acts like they have the average size. They also only have one size, while plus size stores have many. They could make so much more money even if they just went from like and xx small to a size 2 or 4, so I don’t understand why they don’t.
I totally agree!! I think there’s nothing wrong with having a solely tiny/petite clothing but PLEASE let these self conscious young girls know that this is only one body type out of so many different bodies!!
Ikr like my friend went in and she wanted the job but they said they weren't hiring. I heard the manager ask another employee what race she was. The employee said that she was asian and the manager told her to tell my friend that they weren't hiring even though they hired another girl on the spot...
@@anenawww if you watched the whole video it mentions that the owner of the store ( which is 2 white 60 year old men) you’ll hear that this person describing the story says that they only hire white teenage girls. (If not white, just girls with white people features)

What is “healthily skinny”? Skinny refers to a body size and healthy refers to a diet. Wether someone becomes skinny by being healthy or unhealthy they would still be the same size.
@Smile Mahi with shein you could get one pair of pant and top in brandy you can only get a top that's not even full lmao and only a spoiled overprivileged shits say you're too poor for not able to afford a 25 dollar clothing which I guess is you
noah ottomanelli your comment makes no sense at all, the girl in the video literally said she felt so insecure bc she couldn’t fit in those pants. It fucks someone’s body image, we think we are not “skinny enough” and that makes a lot of people (not even girls boys too) feel like shit so yeah think before u type something
I knoooow. A tiger's body is so much more beautiful than a human's. If we don't do exercise we look disgusting. If a tiger or a cat doesn't do exercise they still look amazing.
@@dm8678 Yes but then why brand yourself as 'one size fits ALL'. I would be totally fine with not fitting their clothes if they had changed their branding and were genuine about just catering for petite women, but they don't do that.
no it's not tbh. I'm a healthy 16 yr old and their damn pants are still too big on me. I agree that they should say their clothes are made for smaller people, but it's not okay to cancel an entire brand just because some ppl don't fit in their clothes. Just go wear something else
@@cyverbunny well the thing is that they practically only sell clothes for a specific body type. like @C VH said with their “one size fits all” marketing. i personally know what’s shes saying because with an eating disorder (in my experience) you keep losing more and more weight until it’s “enough.” it’s a mental illness, reaching the end goal i had was and would have never been “enough” for me.
@@cyverbunny it’s not canceling the store but the fact that they’re glorifying that one specific body type by selling only one size, hiring only very specific employees, ect. to me it adds on to society’s strict standards of one type of beauty.
@@cyverbunny I don't cancel them because I don't fit in their clothes. I don't care about that (anymore), I can find other nice clothes. I cancel them because they advertise their clothes as being 'one size fits all' instead of 'made for petit people', which I find disingenuous, misleading and honestly a bit questionable. Why do they do that? What idea are they trying to sell with that kind of advertising? Because that's how brands work, they sell you an idea. All brands do that. (I mainly cancel them because its fast fashion tbh, but that's a whole other story.)
She doesnt' really seem that brave or badass tbh. It seems like she's very salty that she had to experience the briefest moment of discomfort by not fitting into some clothes that were too small. And because she's one of the global elite, she gets to make a youtube video crying about it.
Alpha _a7 it really isn’t, i don’t starve myself or feel the need to change my appearance because of them or whatever it is they “promote” people nowadays complain for everything. It’s nothing brave, there are a couple thousand of vids like this online
I tried looking in a salvation army for clothes that are similar to Brandy Melville and couldn't find a single piece of cute clothing. Maybe if you live in an area like California you can find similar clothes, but I live in the worst area imaginable.
@Lil Chicken There are several problems with Brandy's approach, including the fact that they ostracize people of color. It's great that people who are petite (including myself) have a place to buy trendy fast fashion pieces, but no one should have to suffer just because of who their target demographic is (skinny white girls). A lot of people who aren't in this demographic are made fun of and taunted by Brandy workers because management actually tells them to do so. I visited Brandy Melville's US website and found that there is only ONE girl of color on the entire website (I checked September 2019) I will be updating this comment later
Kids repeat after me: Brandy is a Karen There's sum BEEF in the comments- y'all this is just a joke you don't have to agree with it you don't have to find it funny but pls stop fighting-
brandy isn’t my style at all but when i do go in with my friends and i see how devastated their faces look if a pair of pants does t fit them it breaks my heart
brie1n1crackers even from madewell- a more sustainable (but not perfect) brand a white t-shirt can be around 18. If your gonna spend money at least try to support something more sustainable
It wouldn’t be bad if they actually called themselves a shop made for really small women (the equivalent of a plus size shop) but they are just encouraging it, that really skinny is how you should be...and that’s make it disgusting
why would any one think that the thrift store doesn’t have better clothes than brandy or couldn’t have cute clothes at all??? sounds kind of elitist on your part js
Their stuff is trendy and everyone wants it so even knowing they are two white men (assumingly white and probably old-er, too) won't stop anyone from purchasing. Edit: turns out they were a kid and dad duo. Which, seems worse. The overpriced clothes are Italian-made.
i like how there's a bunch of influencers who say that they would never shop at brandy and don't support them yet they support them by buying their clothes like wh- 🤦♀️
@@dm8678 Its not a petite store... they have called themselves "one sizes fits all" for the longest time also their clothes wouldn't fit all petite girls
@@dm8678 it is not a petite store, real petite stores have more than one size. the company lacks diversity in size and race and only hires and almost always showcases the societal beauty standard (tall, slim, white, pretty) which plays with the self esteem and self image of teenage girls across the world. is this a brand you really want to support?
people keep saying “but there are plus size stores” okay but brandy currently is trendy and its targeting teen girls. There are girls who want to fit in so they use unhealthy ways to lose weight.
Tamy Mondragon also people seem to forget that plus size stores always offer a range of sizes. Like you never see a plus size store that has just one size, they usually go from 12/14 to like 22/24 or something like that. BM doesn’t do that, so if they were trying to cater to “slim petite girls” they would still probably have like xxs, xs, s or something like that. Also petite in fashion means short, and Brandy is not really a store for short girls, it’s really just a store for skinny girls.
janiah bramble but it’s not a healthy one if they’re losing too much weight just to fit into clothes, and those clothes encourage teens to have body image issues
janiah bramble ah yes, succumbing to the aesthetic and ideology pushed onto young girls from a very young age and subconsciously manipulating them to feel bad for their bodies and to want to join an elitist, exclusive group of the group deemed ‘pretty’ to be accepted is totally their choice. yes. it’s not as if the brand targets TEENAGERS with ages that have the highest rates of developing EDs instead of skinny/petite women. no. it’s totally the girl’s fault. it’s the fault of anybody who develops an eating disorder, or wants to fit in, or wants to be able to wear the clothes their friends, idols, and influencers wear. it’s totally their fault. where the fuck do you think that thought process stems from?
not every girl is ‘plus size’ though. a lot of girls are size 6/8 so if there is a shop that only caters to size 12+ , what is the issue with having a shop that only caters to under size 12?
The first time I ever noticed that I was a bit chubby was when I went to Brandy Melville for the first time. Everyone's so skinny there and if you don't fit in, you'll get stared at. Clothes were too small for me, and the dressing rooms didn't even have mirrors! I had to come outside to look at myself, only to see how hideous I looked in those small clothes. I felt so humiliated while standing around all those other pretty girls. I was 15. This day triggered something in me, causing me to still feel insecure about my body even at 21 now.
aw I want you to know you’re beautiful no matter the size of your body!! you are gorgeous & stunning. I don’t care how big you are or how skinny others are I know your beautiful inside and out!
I DUNNO NAN MOLLA do you know about how much you weighed when you were 15? i’m 15 and my friends want to go shopping and try on clothes with me this weekend but i’m kinda nervous because ik they love going to brandy. i’m not overweight but i’m just a little bit bigger than them and i’m afraid that we will be trying on brandy clothes and i’ll be embarrassed because i won’t fit anything and they will
qui a roma brandy è andato molto di moda nel 2014 insieme a subdued, ultimamente molti negozi stanno chiudendo anche perché alzano i prezzi per roba che puoi trovare su internet e molto meno.
@@cookiemonster7099 Happens all the time. The run way models are supposed to be hella thin, so they hire MEN. Men do not develop like women - go figure. They have that stick figure with no development that the designers like. For some it's the uglier the better because they want the shock effect. Keep in mind these are the *same* designers that put plastic swimming pools on top of their heads and make them look ridiculous. It's for the rich to laugh at. Nothing more.
they used to say one size fits all they just changed it recently, like 2-3 years ago. All of my older pieces have it written on the tag and i remember it being everywhere on their website
brandy is my least favourite brand i’ve ever encountered. i went into brandy with my tall, skinny, blonde friend and she got compliment by workers as soon as she walked through the door and me, short and chubby, was completely ignored. we went into the changing rooms the girl working there looked me up and down and it made me feel like shit. i didn’t fit in any of the clothes and i’m a size 8(uk). i felt completely judged the whole time i was in there and ill never go back.
since when is anyone considered chubby at a UK size 8? I'm a size 8 as well and people consider me normal to slim. I'm also pretty tall, so that might be different
But the fact is mass production of one size is far cheaper and easier, and that way they don't have to consider how the clothes will look on different sizes or body shapes. They wouldn't be any richer because let's be real, their main demographic is skinny teenage white girls, and that probably wouldn't change.
@@zo9690 $25 for a top is not cheap when you're a broke college student that doesn't live in mommy and daddy's pocket. especially when their quality isn't any better than f21 even if their style is!!!

yeah i agree i have to admit the concept of exclusivity and "fitting in" sounds a little intriguing but i don't own any of their clothes because 1. i have conservative asian parents, 2. i think they look cheap and 3. not rly my style anyway
Maybe this *is* how some people choose to express themselves. Sometimes it’s about standing out, other times is about blending in, but it’s always about liking what you wear
that's how I feel. I've always thought that Brandy's clothing is pretty basic and doesn't have a lot of originality. But their lack of diversity is ridiculous, if Victoria's Secret can do it so can they!
i’ve found so many dupes at goodwill for half the price, but girls would rather shop at brandy melville because they depend on the exclusivity to validate themselves.

When she said "when you walk in to the store and you're skinny and pretty you're pretty much hired" i felt that on a next level once i walked in to a brandy melville store and the girl/women who worked there litterally asked me if i was interested in working there i was in the middle of an eating disorder and i was insecure as hell
that’s awful :( they perpetuate those harsh standards, like the video said, slightly underweight and white/white looking I hope you’re doing better with your Ed, it must have been really triggering
they would make so much more money if they did more sizes,,,,, i don't understand edit: yes i know plus size stores exist, im petite and i’m glad i can find clothes that fit me but overall other companies would make/are making more money by copying their clothes in bigger sizes. i’m not saying they should do XLs and XXLs, i’m saying it would be better for them if they made M or L clothes. you can be skinny and tall and an XS might not fit you. ED trigger warning: . . . anyways you should be body positive and not glamorize eds, not only being anorexic but being overweight.
Bailey Boo But is it really for the petite? Not all petite girls have the same body shape, (speaking from experience) the size from torso to legs on petite girls (and all girls) can differ a lot along with hips, bust etc They aren’t actually catering to the petite as not all petite can fit their clothes. They are just catering to a tiny minority, and it’s okay to do that but their advertising is unclear and misleading. I think that is the issue.
Just because you wide the net of a potential client base, doesn't mean you will have more business. Some brands have a consumer base because of their niche.
Vicky yeah I agree with the advertising thing but that’s clear, I’m fine if they cater to a minority because many stores don’t but I wasn’t talking about that I was just saying that they were trying to include the tinier people even if it isn’t all of us
It's so funny how being thicc is mainstream, but people still seem to want to fit into Brandy Melville. Just goes to show that the perfect body doesn't exist..
being “thick” isn’t mainstream anymore. it used to be mainstream when the kardashians were still considered the “it” girls, circa 2016-18, but that era is over now, and their body types are just considered obsolete now. The main mainstream body is the skinny bella hadid, kaia gerber body, since 2019 till now. Body types are just a volatile trend unfortunately. Being skinny is the most extolled body type of 2021.
B. KCee They aren’t talking about body positivity. They are talking about the fact that small is a fashion trend. Being small is prettier than being average weight even when people are trying to stop that from still going on. It triggers me and many others including OP, and they shouldn’t be criticized for feeling bad about their body because of brandy melville and plenty of other ‘skinny brands’
B. KCee Yep I was completely right. Your downplaying my and other problems. Sure ours aren’t as dire or common but it’s still horrible. Skinny girls don’t feel self conscious and wish they were plus size, you are forgetting the point that this is what causes people to develop anorexia as a coping mechanism
I really like brandy’s clothes and I think they’re easy to style and aesthetic, I don’t understand why people get mad when a brand targets skinnier and smaller women when there are brands solely for plus size women.
A few years ago, I applied for a job at Brandy Melville to be just a regular worker in the store. They took my phone number, didn't ask for a resume, and then the girl worker there said, "Okay now stand over here, I'm going to take a photo of you." I obliged, but in my head I was thinking, "wtf?" I know that many jobs hire based on looks (most times on subconscious level) but they weren't even TRYING to hide how judgmental and shallow the hiring process was. I didn't get the job. And I'm a 5'10, naturally skinny white girl who was in my teens at the time. I can't imagine how they would treat other people who looked differently from me trying to apply there.
Yes. Because we do exist and want to find clothes, too. I'm actually impressed by the comment section. Skinny girls are finally sticking up for themselves. Size 0s are also, "real women." Not just bigger girls.
Alydia Forten no one is saying you don’t exist. you are not oppressed. the POINT is that maybe they should then present themselves as a shop for petite people.
I’m glad that Abercrombie turned their brands around though. I would have never been able to work for them back then because I take a large/xl depending on the store, and I’ve been with Hollister for about a month now and it’s an amazing work environment:)
healthy reminder: clothes are meant to fit you. you're not meant to fit into them. if a S is too small go get a M, it doesn't matter, you look good no matter your size I promise🤍
Well when everyone is getting bigger and lazy there has to be something for petite girls. Besides what's the deal..isn't this for teenagers? Or are people stupid?
@@Visualmetal there will always be something for petite girls. the clothes are for teenagers and that's whats so bad. it protrays an unhealthy image of what a teenage girl should be and what she should look like. one size.
but like...u can’t say that ur against their “one size fits all” but continue to shop there bc then ur jus supporting them with ur money. then ur disregarding all those other ppl who CANT fit into their clothing. there are other shops who sell the SAME clothes as brandy and they are cheap and sell multiple sizes. Brandy Melville isn’t the only shop that exists for this style😐
Elle Lin yesss although the sizing is also a bit on the smaller side since Korean people are smaller, it has a wayyy bigger range of sizes than brandy, which says something since Korean beauty is to be extremely thin
but what if you shop there because you like there clothes. i geniunely really love their style and cant find it anywhere else. the clothes in hollister, H & M, etc are way different (not regarding sizes). im not going to stop shopping there because some other girls are insecure if that makes sense.
The clothes aren't even geared towards skinny people, they are geared towards a specific body type. I myself am very skinny and still do not fit into their clothes because I am short with wide hips. Not to mention how discriminatory brandy is- it's disgusting.
Yes! I used to fit into their tops size-wise but they looked weird because my shoulders were too wide... I also have a rectangular body shape so besides (at the time) being skinny for my age/height, I could never wear their pants.
This is so sad because Brandy is one of the only brands that fit me perfectly, I’m skinny and tall, my waist is tiny but I have full medium sized breasts. Most stores feel too big in my waist and pants/ jeans are too small and look ugly bc they show my ankles when their fit is not supposed to. I have to choose between wearing a tight belt all the time of having awkward length jeans. T-shirts either feel too tight on my chest or awkward because I’m skinny but still have boobs. I feel bad supporting them but it’s one of the only stores that actually fits me and makes me feel cute. They should state that their clothing fits one particular body type instead of their “one size fits all” bs. They know damn well their promoted body type isn’t even the majority so I don’t understand where they took it from when promoting it fits everyone
Everyone is worried about the “one size fits all” part, but I’m more concerned about how you have to be white or have “Caucasian features” in order for them to consider letting you work there.
It is an Italian brand. Italians are caucasians. They are likely looking to create the 'Italian' image. This would not be seen as a problem if it was an african brand wanting their models to have african features, or an asian brand wanting asian features. White cultures are the only ones that 'needs diversity' or is shamed for creating a 'caucasian' image. Apparently, it is empowering for every other culture in the world, because it 'celebrates their culture'. But white cultures are called all sorts of things if they do the same. Same goes for size. If they want to make clothing of only a specific size, let them. There are many other brands with different sizes, who makes awesome clothes. I don't understand why people are so obsessed about body size. It is about proportions and posture, not weight. Every single body have the potential to look its best, if it is well taken care of. Some body types look their best tall and lean, other body types look their best with an hourglass figure. There are different ways to be beautiful. People need to stop worrying that not every piece of clothing is going to fit/look good, and start figuring out what compliments their own features the best, and bring your their own beauty; not someone else's.
@@HereIAm247 First of all, that's bullshit. Let me tell you why. If the store was really based on Italian aesthetics, why wouldn't their clothes reflect that? Their clothes are basic fast fashion and their store interiors don't reflect an "italian vibe" either. Also, since when were all Italians, skinny and pasty? Cuz last I checked, Italians from southern Italian are very tan, like almost as tan as me and I'm black. Why? Because they're in the sun constantly. Are all Italians skinny? Not the last time I checked. Italians also have differing a wide range of features. There isn't an Italian nose or hair color or eyes. Italy isn't a homogeneous population like say, Norway. So for the love of God stop using that as an excuse for Brandy's discrimination, colorism and racism. Cheers.
Just imagine how much money brandy would make if they sold all sizes 😔 Edit: yes I know they made their clothes for people that were/are underweight, and yes the image would be lost if they made more sizes but I just think they should because they are making some very dangerous mental environments for young girls who don’t fit into their clothes, leading to starving themselves for acceptance, and that is a very hard mindset to break.
Y’all keep saying they have “really cute clothes” but they’re all the most BASIC PIECES that you could learn to make on your own all I’m hearing is “basic”
Sometimes I like to look basic either 1. I like the way it looks on me 2. I like the feeling of the fabric lol But you can definitely find these anywhere else they steal everyone’s ideas
If 15 year old girls are usually skinny then why are my hips so wide, like no matter what amount of weight i lose my hips and shoulders won't be small 💀
Probably because you’ve already gone through most of your puberty, I was the same at that age and all my friends were still skinny - but at 21 everyone’s body has now matured with wider hips, thicker thighs etc. so don’t worry about it
I used to work at Brandy Melville. I was 16 when I started working there, and I was 134.9 lbs. And, no offense, I was the ONLY African American girl working there. I definitely stood out, as the girl that wore box braids and had worn the same pair of rainbow vans with almost every outfit, versus the girls with long golden tresses of hair and could fit into anything they wanted to. When I started working there, I definitely felt insecure. I was: 1. A black girl working in a store with pretty, white girls with long hair, 2. A little bit *thicker* than the other girls, and 3. Never really could fit some of their clothes. I became anorexic, practically, started eating way less, or at nothing at all, and if I did, it was literally just a health TV dinner and that would be it. I lost a lot of weight, and by thing time I got to my 3 month employee status, I weighed 100.2 lbs. I had to do into the intensive care unit and stay there and get fed through an IV just to stay alive. And obvi, I stopped working there after all of this happened. I even tried to get lawyers involved, but instead got blackmailed by the manager of the store I worked and, and said that since they had so much *power* over me, they could publicly humiliate me. So I did nothing. GIRLS! if you shop and brandy, fine. But just know, your putting yourself up for a world of disaster if you trust them as much as I did. And idc what you have to say about me, by it’s MY story. Edit: thanks for all of the comments and support for me. I really do appreciate it for people to tell me that I’m more than what brandy made me 🙏🏾 god bless yall
young girls seeing fatshaming and less acceptance of different sizes will lead to girls who aren't overweight or fat in anyway developing eating disorders and constant body checking.
It isn’t, as much as I hate the fat acceptance movement, brandy Melville’s clothes are not even including regular sizes. They are including VERY skinny people only, as much as skinny people need more brands that fit them, it sets an idea that this is the size every girl has to be, because of the one size fits all policy.
Filip Prochazka no, the purpose of a business is to provide a service for your consumers. Your definition is the purpose of CAPITALISM. Which is a terrible enterprise.
Who cares? They're a private company - they aren't obligated to "fit" everyone. And the fact that you keep bringing race into this is so biased. There are plenty of other races who fit this body type that I'm sure Brandy Melville would hire since they seem to hire based on body, not on features. Clearly people like them since they keep buying them. Maybe you should be less insecure and live in reality - you aren't entitled to a private company just "accepting" you the way your body type is. They clearly don't make clothes for whatever your "body type" is. Just don't buy from them. And why you would ever let a private company dictate how you feel about your body? That's on YOU, not them.
They market as a One Size Fits All store for all body types, and there are many examples of hiring discrimination. You’re clearly white yourself, and therefore have no right telling other POC women that they should not have opinions about it. They have an image to keep up, and those models fit Eurocentric beauty standards. This didn’t come out of nowhere. These standards have been in place for centuries due to Imperialism and colonization. Why don’t you start living in the real world, then? These are real problems that you will never experience.
@@dreamw864 She said medium sized. A size medium is not fat. And curvy bodies are more common in African and Latina women, so I'm pretty sure she means curvy in the good way. :)
etrnlapricot exactly, they look cheap, cost a lot of money for that matter, they’re super basic and you can find the same look for less somewhere else. I really don’t understand how this brand is so popular, the clothes are nothing special, like if they had that one size policy but their clothes were somehow unique or a very different style that is hard to replicate or find somewhere else, I would still not like their policies but I would kinda get why they are so popular... but like, clothes are basic af
+18 years old girls can be hella skinny though lol yeah, might look like kids' clothes to people who don't fit into them but they exist and they're not children.
Honestly it was what drew me to them as someone who was 23 when I bought them. It made me nostalgic for when I was 8, life was simpler. However my body was not, needless to say I don’t buy anything from them anymore
@alexismiirial You're not fat just because you can't fit into the smallest of clothes. I'm sure you're beautiful. Don't hold yourself to unrealistic standards.
Next experiment for me to do this leisure time : walk into Brandy looking like a designer while being plus size and basically looks at their item like it's the absolute shit
The thing is, I don’t have a problem that Brandy caters to smaller people, it’s that they don’t advertise it like that, and just say “one size fits all”. Plus size stores advertise as a store for bigger women, while Brandy doesn’t and just acts like they have the average size. They also only have one size, while plus size stores have many. They could make so much more money even if they just went from like and xx small to a size 2 or 4, so I don’t understand why they don’t.
This! They should advertise as a petites shop, since petites do often find it difficult to find clothing that fits also.
Yes! I am a xxs - xs
They never said "one size fits all" though they just said "one size"
it’s a one size not one size fits all
I totally agree!! I think there’s nothing wrong with having a solely tiny/petite clothing but PLEASE let these self conscious young girls know that this is only one body type out of so many different bodies!!

What is “healthily skinny”? Skinny refers to a body size and healthy refers to a diet. Wether someone becomes skinny by being healthy or unhealthy they would still be the same size.

@@dm8678 Yes but then why brand yourself as 'one size fits ALL'. I would be totally fine with not fitting their clothes if they had changed their branding and were genuine about just catering for petite women, but they don't do that.
no it's not tbh. I'm a healthy 16 yr old and their damn pants are still too big on me. I agree that they should say their clothes are made for smaller people, but it's not okay to cancel an entire brand just because some ppl don't fit in their clothes. Just go wear something else
@@cyverbunny well the thing is that they practically only sell clothes for a specific body type. like @C VH said with their “one size fits all” marketing. i personally know what’s shes saying because with an eating disorder (in my experience) you keep losing more and more weight until it’s “enough.” it’s a mental illness, reaching the end goal i had was and would have never been “enough” for me.
@@cyverbunny it’s not canceling the store but the fact that they’re glorifying that one specific body type by selling only one size, hiring only very specific employees, ect. to me it adds on to society’s strict standards of one type of beauty.
@@cyverbunny I don't cancel them because I don't fit in their clothes. I don't care about that (anymore), I can find other nice clothes. I cancel them because they advertise their clothes as being 'one size fits all' instead of 'made for petit people', which I find disingenuous, misleading and honestly a bit questionable. Why do they do that? What idea are they trying to sell with that kind of advertising? Because that's how brands work, they sell you an idea. All brands do that. (I mainly cancel them because its fast fashion tbh, but that's a whole other story.)
why is no one appreciating the creator? She's such a badass and did an amazing job. Thank you for your bravery croissant.

No i bet there are girls on the edge of getting anorexia for this shop site don’t support this shit girls😷🤢🤮

She doesnt' really seem that brave or badass tbh. It seems like she's very salty that she had to experience the briefest moment of discomfort by not fitting into some clothes that were too small. And because she's one of the global elite, she gets to make a youtube video crying about it.
Alpha _a7 it really isn’t, i don’t starve myself or feel the need to change my appearance because of them or whatever it is they “promote” people nowadays complain for everything. It’s nothing brave, there are a couple thousand of vids like this online

PaleRose samee dude
EXACTLY. Brandy Melville is just a newly made item of a nicer, more authentic, and more sustainable option from a thrift store!
lol boycotting is easy bc they don’t fit me to begin with
@Lil Chicken There are several problems with Brandy's approach, including the fact that they ostracize people of color. It's great that people who are petite (including myself) have a place to buy trendy fast fashion pieces, but no one should have to suffer just because of who their target demographic is (skinny white girls). A lot of people who aren't in this demographic are made fun of and taunted by Brandy workers because management actually tells them to do so. I visited Brandy Melville's US website and found that there is only ONE girl of color on the entire website (I checked September 2019) I will be updating this comment later

Bruh facts
the fact that two men run brandy just makes everything 10x worse.
Exactly
Omg right?? /;
Their stuff is trendy and everyone wants it so even knowing they are two white men (assumingly white and probably old-er, too) won't stop anyone from purchasing.
Edit: turns out they were a kid and dad duo. Which, seems worse. The overpriced clothes are Italian-made.
I think if it was two women then it would be worse because we usually understand each other ?
Why
i like how there's a bunch of influencers who say that they would never shop at brandy and don't support them yet they support them by buying their clothes like wh- 🤦♀️
ikr
it's a whole other level of stupidity
If they made all sizes they would be SO rich.
wouldn’t they? 🥺
d&m why shouldn’t they make bigger sizes and a normal one size fits all
I don't think so. The limitation creates a image, like hand bags are expensive so only the rich people can buy it making the bag seem desirable.
@@dm8678 Its not a petite store... they have called themselves "one sizes fits all" for the longest time also their clothes wouldn't fit all petite girls
@@dm8678 it is not a petite store, real petite stores have more than one size. the company lacks diversity in size and race and only hires and almost always showcases the societal beauty standard (tall, slim, white, pretty) which plays with the self esteem and self image of teenage girls across the world. is this a brand you really want to support?
people keep saying “but there are plus size stores” okay but brandy currently is trendy and its targeting teen girls. There are girls who want to fit in so they use unhealthy ways to lose weight.
Tamy Mondragon also people seem to forget that plus size stores always offer a range of sizes. Like you never see a plus size store that has just one size, they usually go from 12/14 to like 22/24 or something like that. BM doesn’t do that, so if they were trying to cater to “slim petite girls” they would still probably have like xxs, xs, s or something like that. Also petite in fashion means short, and Brandy is not really a store for short girls, it’s really just a store for skinny girls.
yea those girls are choosing to tell themselves that need to lose weight and that's their decision.
janiah bramble but it’s not a healthy one if they’re losing too much weight just to fit into clothes, and those clothes encourage teens to have body image issues
janiah bramble ah yes, succumbing to the aesthetic and ideology pushed onto young girls from a very young age and subconsciously manipulating them to feel bad for their bodies and to want to join an elitist, exclusive group of the group deemed ‘pretty’ to be accepted is totally their choice. yes. it’s not as if the brand targets TEENAGERS with ages that have the highest rates of developing EDs instead of skinny/petite women. no. it’s totally the girl’s fault. it’s the fault of anybody who develops an eating disorder, or wants to fit in, or wants to be able to wear the clothes their friends, idols, and influencers wear. it’s totally their fault.
where the fuck do you think that thought process stems from?
not every girl is ‘plus size’ though. a lot of girls are size 6/8 so if there is a shop that only caters to size 12+ , what is the issue with having a shop that only caters to under size 12?
The first time I ever noticed that I was a bit chubby was when I went to Brandy Melville for the first time. Everyone's so skinny there and if you don't fit in, you'll get stared at. Clothes were too small for me, and the dressing rooms didn't even have mirrors! I had to come outside to look at myself, only to see how hideous I looked in those small clothes. I felt so humiliated while standing around all those other pretty girls. I was 15. This day triggered something in me, causing me to still feel insecure about my body even at 21 now.
Oh my god that’s awful. I never really thought about how brands like these legit can impact so many girls self esteem and worth

This happened to me bruh
since when is anyone considered chubby at a UK size 8?
I'm a size 8 as well and people consider me normal to slim. I'm also pretty tall, so that might be different
FleurDeCerisier i’m 5”0 😳

Yo wtf I‘m gonna sue
If they made different sizes they would literally be so rich as their clothes are actually CUTE 🥺
luv bug pull & bear often has similar clothes and cheap+ normal fit ❤️
But the fact is mass production of one size is far cheaper and easier, and that way they don't have to consider how the clothes will look on different sizes or body shapes. They wouldn't be any richer because let's be real, their main demographic is skinny teenage white girls, and that probably wouldn't change.
I would definitely shop there more. I’m skinny but do CrossFit and my legs are trunks and most jeans don’t fit.

Idk man the “brandy Melville” girl seems boring. I feel their clothing doesn’t help you express yourself at all
Facts. For basic people who don’t have nothing interesting express
for people who care more about fitting in than wearing what they like
Maybe this *is* how some people choose to express themselves. Sometimes it’s about standing out, other times is about blending in, but it’s always about liking what you wear
that's how I feel. I've always thought that Brandy's clothing is pretty basic and doesn't have a lot of originality. But their lack of diversity is ridiculous, if Victoria's Secret can do it so can they!
Ummm they’re expressing they’re skinny bitches 🤷🏽♀️
i’ve found so many dupes at goodwill for half the price, but girls would rather shop at brandy melville because they depend on the exclusivity to validate themselves.

Bailey Boo
But is it really for the petite? Not all petite girls have the same body shape, (speaking from experience) the size from torso to legs on petite girls (and all girls) can differ a lot along with hips, bust etc
They aren’t actually catering to the petite as not all petite can fit their clothes. They are just catering to a tiny minority, and it’s okay to do that but their advertising is unclear and misleading. I think that is the issue.
Just because you wide the net of a potential client base, doesn't mean you will have more business. Some brands have a consumer base because of their niche.
i agree, but that would lose its exclusivity, which is mostly the whole draw of it, like she said.
Vicky yeah I agree with the advertising thing but that’s clear, I’m fine if they cater to a minority because many stores don’t but I wasn’t talking about that I was just saying that they were trying to include the tinier people even if it isn’t all of us
It's so funny how being thicc is mainstream, but people still seem to want to fit into Brandy Melville. Just goes to show that the perfect body doesn't exist..
being “thick” isn’t mainstream anymore. it used to be mainstream when the kardashians were still considered the “it” girls, circa 2016-18, but that era is over now, and their body types are just considered obsolete now.

B. KCee They aren’t talking about body positivity. They are talking about the fact that small is a fashion trend. Being small is prettier than being average weight even when people are trying to stop that from still going on. It triggers me and many others including OP, and they shouldn’t be criticized for feeling bad about their body because of brandy melville and plenty of other ‘skinny brands’
B. KCee I- sorry but isn’t that literally just saying that people with low body esteem don’t use their brains? Seriously extremely insensitive but ok
B. KCee Yep I was completely right. Your downplaying my and other problems. Sure ours aren’t as dire or common but it’s still horrible. Skinny girls don’t feel self conscious and wish they were plus size, you are forgetting the point that this is what causes people to develop anorexia as a coping mechanism
B. KCee honestly, sometimes i feel like i’m being bashed for being “skinny” or whatever. It’s just a body lol
People say they don’t support brandy but still shop there??
Lol ok
Jasmine Padilla I’m sorry but their clothes are just too cute
@@molly6072 ikr 😔
gurl i steal from brandy
Regan Matthews I respect it lmfao
I really like brandy’s clothes and I think they’re easy to style and aesthetic, I don’t understand why people get mad when a brand targets skinnier and smaller women when there are brands solely for plus size women.
They have nice clothes but the girls that work there need to fix their damn attitude
Alejandra Sanjuanico FRRR.
EXACTLY
*their
It’s because they’re hungry 😭😂
I’ve never been there before because i live in the Uk. What are the workers like?
A few years ago, I applied for a job at Brandy Melville to be just a regular worker in the store. They took my phone number, didn't ask for a resume, and then the girl worker there said, "Okay now stand over here, I'm going to take a photo of you." I obliged, but in my head I was thinking, "wtf?" I know that many jobs hire based on looks (most times on subconscious level) but they weren't even TRYING to hide how judgmental and shallow the hiring process was. I didn't get the job. And I'm a 5'10, naturally skinny white girl who was in my teens at the time. I can't imagine how they would treat other people who looked differently from me trying to apply there.
im convinced the majority of comments were written by skinny white girls
Same but I agree with them and I'm an average weight black girl
Yes. Because we do exist and want to find clothes, too.
I'm actually impressed by the comment section. Skinny girls are finally sticking up for themselves. Size 0s are also, "real women." Not just bigger girls.
Alydia Forten bruh your comment is something
Alydia Forten no one is saying you don’t exist. you are not oppressed. the POINT is that maybe they should then present themselves as a shop for petite people.
rosa wright is that not what they present themselves as? I mean all their models are petite
This is like the newer version of Abercrombie & Hollister in the 2000s.
hannah grrr I was thinking exactly the same thing!! Their clothes honestly look extremely basic
Everyone wore Abercrombie and hollister back then!
hannah grrr i’m the 1000th like
I’m glad that Abercrombie turned their brands around though. I would have never been able to work for them back then because I take a large/xl depending on the store, and I’ve been with Hollister for about a month now and it’s an amazing work environment:)
Deadass.
their clothes aren’t even that cute djdjks u can mimic a brandy melville outfit at any thrift store while purchasing sustainable fashion!
I mean not everyone has good thrift stores so ig there's a reason for buying at Brandy melville

True all my thrift stores have only Hawaiian shirts and they’re not even cute Hawaiian shirts

very true i live in rural northern colorado and my shitty thrift stores can easily get me brandy fashion
healthy reminder:
clothes are meant to fit you. you're not meant to fit into them. if a S is too small go get a M, it doesn't matter, you look good no matter your size I promise🤍

there's a thrift shop in my city that has cuter clothes than brandy melville and guess what they have? a plus size section
kiiidollasign guess where the thirft shop clothes come from
Well when everyone is getting bigger and lazy there has to be something for petite girls. Besides what's the deal..isn't this for teenagers? Or are people stupid?
@@Visualmetal there will always be something for petite girls. the clothes are for teenagers and that's whats so bad. it protrays an unhealthy image of what a teenage girl should be and what she should look like. one size.
Lysets vokter wait are you stupid enough to think all teenagers are a size small?
Joslyn Aranha the majority of size s teenage girls aren't unhealthy but go off ig
but like...u can’t say that ur against their “one size fits all” but continue to shop there bc then ur jus supporting them with ur money. then ur disregarding all those other ppl who CANT fit into their clothing. there are other shops who sell the SAME clothes as brandy and they are cheap and sell multiple sizes. Brandy Melville isn’t the only shop that exists for this style😐
Hwar Kim facts
@The alien in your backyard yesstyle has really good clothes that have the same 'aesthetic' that Brandy has
Elle Lin yesss although the sizing is also a bit on the smaller side since Korean people are smaller, it has a wayyy bigger range of sizes than brandy, which says something since Korean beauty is to be extremely thin
but what if you shop there because you like there clothes. i geniunely really love their style and cant find it anywhere else. the clothes in hollister, H & M, etc are way different (not regarding sizes). im not going to stop shopping there because some other girls are insecure if that makes sense.
Anwita S. u could shop at ROMWE and shein for cheaper. It has a similar style:|
The clothes aren't even geared towards skinny people, they are geared towards a specific body type. I myself am very skinny and still do not fit into their clothes because I am short with wide hips. Not to mention how discriminatory brandy is- it's disgusting.
I wanna go there just to pick a fight with anyone who wants to judge me or anyone else 😄
Yes! I used to fit into their tops size-wise but they looked weird because my shoulders were too wide... I also have a rectangular body shape so besides (at the time) being skinny for my age/height, I could never wear their pants.
Even when I was at my smallest I still wouldn't be able to fit since I was curvy.
Same I’m fucking skinny but my hips are wide and they don’t fit even tho my thighs are sticks and the hoodies are too big for me
Isn’t short with wide hips fat? I was always told that.
This is so sad because Brandy is one of the only brands that fit me perfectly, I’m skinny and tall, my waist is tiny but I have full medium sized breasts. Most stores feel too big in my waist and pants/ jeans are too small and look ugly bc they show my ankles when their fit is not supposed to. I have to choose between wearing a tight belt all the time of having awkward length jeans. T-shirts either feel too tight on my chest or awkward because I’m skinny but still have boobs. I feel bad supporting them but it’s one of the only stores that actually fits me and makes me feel cute. They should state that their clothing fits one particular body type instead of their “one size fits all” bs. They know damn well their promoted body type isn’t even the majority so I don’t understand where they took it from when promoting it fits everyone
couldn’t have said it better
Same
Everyone is worried about the “one size fits all” part, but I’m more concerned about how you have to be white or have “Caucasian features” in order for them to consider letting you work there.
right
It is an Italian brand. Italians are caucasians. They are likely looking to create the 'Italian' image. This would not be seen as a problem if it was an african brand wanting their models to have african features, or an asian brand wanting asian features. White cultures are the only ones that 'needs diversity' or is shamed for creating a 'caucasian' image. Apparently, it is empowering for every other culture in the world, because it 'celebrates their culture'. But white cultures are called all sorts of things if they do the same.
Same goes for size. If they want to make clothing of only a specific size, let them. There are many other brands with different sizes, who makes awesome clothes. I don't understand why people are so obsessed about body size. It is about proportions and posture, not weight. Every single body have the potential to look its best, if it is well taken care of. Some body types look their best tall and lean, other body types look their best with an hourglass figure. There are different ways to be beautiful. People need to stop worrying that not every piece of clothing is going to fit/look good, and start figuring out what compliments their own features the best, and bring your their own beauty; not someone else's.
@@HereIAm247 i couldn't agree more. Finally someone that doesn't get offended by everything like 90% of this generation
??? Right. But if I agree, people will say I’m being “Sensitive”
@@HereIAm247 First of all, that's bullshit. Let me tell you why. If the store was really based on Italian aesthetics, why wouldn't their clothes reflect that? Their clothes are basic fast fashion and their store interiors don't reflect an "italian vibe" either. Also, since when were all Italians, skinny and pasty? Cuz last I checked, Italians from southern Italian are very tan, like almost as tan as me and I'm black. Why? Because they're in the sun constantly. Are all Italians skinny? Not the last time I checked. Italians also have differing a wide range of features. There isn't an Italian nose or hair color or eyes. Italy isn't a homogeneous population like say, Norway. So for the love of God stop using that as an excuse for Brandy's discrimination, colorism and racism. Cheers.
“It’s hard not to buy into this exclusivity when you fit into it” You nailed privilege.
EXACTLY
good sentence
Precisely lmao they’re sooo against it but they still shop they’re cuz their clothes are sooo cute
baha I liked on 420
@Tommy gibstain i wish it was that easy...
Just imagine how much money brandy would make if they sold all sizes 😔
Edit: yes I know they made their clothes for people that were/are underweight, and yes the image would be lost if they made more sizes but I just think they should because they are making some very dangerous mental environments for young girls who don’t fit into their clothes, leading to starving themselves for acceptance, and that is a very hard mindset to break.
Addy Something FR
Addy Something honestly
honestly tho, they can be overpriced :/ might as well just go make your own since they have pretty simple diy items to begin with. saving money too XP
A looot
They don’t want big people in their clothes
it's one size, I don't see the problem. too many fat sensitive people nowadays.
Y’all keep saying they have “really cute clothes” but they’re all the most BASIC PIECES that you could learn to make on your own
all I’m hearing is “basic”
Girl not just that you can get the same shit that's on this video anywhere else. These clothes were trash in my eyes!!
Sometimes I like to look basic either 1. I like the way it looks on me 2. I like the feeling of the fabric lol
But you can definitely find these anywhere else they steal everyone’s ideas
They’re pricey for how basic they are, also. I don’t understand how this brand is so popular tbh
Who the hell wants to just make their own clothes for no reason when they could just bUy the damn clothes?
yeezy yeezy And why would you want to PAY MONEY for basic/ugly clothes? It’s a two-way street, love. Either way, it’s trash.
"One size fits all" more like "One size fits small" Get it??

mi aggiungo al thread
If 15 year old girls are usually skinny then why are my hips so wide, like no matter what amount of weight i lose my hips and shoulders won't be small 💀
Bones structure girl ! Don't worry it's fine.
15 year olds are not necessarily skinny, your physique is based on what you eat, your activity and most importantly genetics.
Most of the 15 year old girls at my school and that ik have curves and they all look nice!
Probably because you’ve already gone through most of your puberty, I was the same at that age and all my friends were still skinny - but at 21 everyone’s body has now matured with wider hips, thicker thighs etc. so don’t worry about it
You thicc and beautiful that's why
I used to work at Brandy Melville. I was 16 when I started working there, and I was 134.9 lbs. And, no offense, I was the ONLY African American girl working there. I definitely stood out, as the girl that wore box braids and had worn the same pair of rainbow vans with almost every outfit, versus the girls with long golden tresses of hair and could fit into anything they wanted to. When I started working there, I definitely felt insecure. I was: 1. A black girl working in a store with pretty, white girls with long hair, 2. A little bit *thicker* than the other girls, and 3. Never really could fit some of their clothes. I became anorexic, practically, started eating way less, or at nothing at all, and if I did, it was literally just a health TV dinner and that would be it. I lost a lot of weight, and by thing time I got to my 3 month employee status, I weighed 100.2 lbs. I had to do into the intensive care unit and stay there and get fed through an IV just to stay alive. And obvi, I stopped working there after all of this happened. I even tried to get lawyers involved, but instead got blackmailed by the manager of the store I worked and, and said that since they had so much *power* over me, they could publicly humiliate me. So I did nothing.
GIRLS! if you shop and brandy, fine. But just know, your putting yourself up for a world of disaster if you trust them as much as I did. And idc what you have to say about me, by it’s MY story.
Edit: thanks for all of the comments and support for me. I really do appreciate it for people to tell me that I’m more than what brandy made me 🙏🏾 god bless yall
isley loryn thank you for your bravery of posting this comment. it’s really important that you shared your experience.
oh my god. i really want to punch that manager right now. thank you for sharing this. they are so freaking messed up.
Im so sorry
God bless you
Insecure much
i’m so sorry you are stunning and deserve the best ❤️
This is great. We need LESS fat accetpance around here.
young girls seeing fatshaming and less acceptance of different sizes will lead to girls who aren't overweight or fat in anyway developing eating disorders and constant body checking.
It isn’t, as much as I hate the fat acceptance movement, brandy Melville’s clothes are not even including regular sizes. They are including VERY skinny people only, as much as skinny people need more brands that fit them, it sets an idea that this is the size every girl has to be, because of the one size fits all policy.
Their clothes aren’t really that cute, looks kinda boring and basic
Pooty Pooty I guess that’s why some people find them cute
There's beauty in Simplicity
Yea very basic plain yogurt colours.
I don't like it at all.
Ya they make them basic because that’s how fashion is on the internet
There’s nothing wrong with that. Some people prefer simplicity and that’s ok
It’s so frustrating when people say they don’t support them but then still buy their clothes, you are literally supporting them BY buying the clothes
Abbey Fuller honestly u can’t force a brand to appeal to you go support someone else
Abbey Fuller great profile pic. Love it
Abbey Fuller yup.
lucky for me I can't support them even though I would love to wear their clothes because they don't fit me
If it was in my country I would buy it , not because I’m supporting them but I’m way to skinny for many shops (i have UC and it is disease)
One of the worst parts about brandy is they’re literally just trying to save money. If you only make one size, it’s so much easier to manufacture.
There’s nothing wrong with that. The purpose of a business is to make profit and keep production cost low.
Filip Prochazka no, the purpose of a business is to provide a service for your consumers.
Your definition is the purpose of CAPITALISM. Which is a terrible enterprise.
@@Pointlesspeach that now is called opinions.

@@filipprochazka2913 Except when you only appeal to a small demographic you lose money, but okay.
Who cares? They're a private company - they aren't obligated to "fit" everyone. And the fact that you keep bringing race into this is so biased. There are plenty of other races who fit this body type that I'm sure Brandy Melville would hire since they seem to hire based on body, not on features. Clearly people like them since they keep buying them. Maybe you should be less insecure and live in reality - you aren't entitled to a private company just "accepting" you the way your body type is. They clearly don't make clothes for whatever your "body type" is. Just don't buy from them. And why you would ever let a private company dictate how you feel about your body? That's on YOU, not them.
They market as a One Size Fits All store for all body types, and there are many examples of hiring discrimination. You’re clearly white yourself, and therefore have no right telling other POC women that they should not have opinions about it. They have an image to keep up, and those models fit Eurocentric beauty standards. This didn’t come out of nowhere. These standards have been in place for centuries due to Imperialism and colonization. Why don’t you start living in the real world, then? These are real problems that you will never experience.
“Only XS clothing for typical white skin girls”
Me, a curvy medium sized dark girl: ...
Curvy as In fat or curvy as in dents in all the right places? Because this calling yourself curvy when your fat or over weight is not good promotion
@@dreamw864 She said medium sized. A size medium is not fat. And curvy bodies are more common in African and Latina women, so I'm pretty sure she means curvy in the good way. :)
Bet your still pretty tho.
what does race have to do with this.... also im a curvy medium and fit perfectly fine in their clothes
Nadeige Singh XS is for all races.. lol
Their clothes look like a children’s clothes tho...
Its because its for 12-16 year olds (give or take) thats why when you go in their a bunch of 14 yearolds work there
Sadly they really do, fr tho their clothes are basic af. I don't think people should buy from them at all - certain clothes look cheap.
etrnlapricot exactly, they look cheap, cost a lot of money for that matter, they’re super basic and you can find the same look for less somewhere else. I really don’t understand how this brand is so popular, the clothes are nothing special, like if they had that one size policy but their clothes were somehow unique or a very different style that is hard to replicate or find somewhere else, I would still not like their policies but I would kinda get why they are so popular... but like, clothes are basic af
+18 years old girls can be hella skinny though lol yeah, might look like kids' clothes to people who don't fit into them but they exist and they're not children.
Honestly it was what drew me to them as someone who was 23 when I bought them. It made me nostalgic for when I was 8, life was simpler. However my body was not, needless to say I don’t buy anything from them anymore
i’m not gonna lie, brandy melville has a lot of really cute clothes but it’s so disappointing that “one size fits all”
halle what’s that supposed to mean
_.marriissaa it’s one size. not all. no one size fits all Jesus Christ. THEY DONT ADVERTISE THAT
One size fits small*
@alexismiirial You're not fat just because you can't fit into the smallest of clothes. I'm sure you're beautiful. Don't hold yourself to unrealistic standards.
Next experiment for me to do this leisure time : walk into Brandy looking like a designer while being plus size and basically looks at their item like it's the absolute shit
Please do it.
